Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Steineded How sad is this?
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
nelling The backstory is nothing new, but interesting: a demon half breed works for the church by killing possessed people that cannot be exorcised. When a very strong demon targets young women to create an army of half breeds (by impregnating them), the demon hunter is paired with a nun to stop this.The hunter is played by a very cool and super hot Sean Patrick Flanery, who convincingly plays a conflicted character and has some nice lines. Unfortunately that is the only thing that makes this film worth watching at all.Unless you like cheesy soft porn scenes which distract from the story.The demons are pathetic with their fangs and fake horns. The Sleazy Uber-Demon does not come across as very threatening.The fight scenes could have been good - after all, SPF is a martial artist - but they're always blurred, shaken up or shown only half.Some of the girls are hot but completely over-acting. The succubus would have been nice if not for the very stupid horns and wings.It had the potential for a good movie - or even TV show pilot - but unfortunately it simply wasn't done well.
GL84 After getting involved in a missing person case, a half-man, half-angel finds that a demonic overlord is planning to launch an attack on humanity with humans as vessels to transport the demons into the world and tries to stop the plan from being engaged.This here is a below-average film overall. One of the few entertaining ideas is that there's some interesting changes around the possession angle, as rather than getting a traditional version where one is possessed throughout the film only to get it exorcised at the end, this one decides instead to give several demonic figures that are actively possessing several individuals throughout the film, and that gives it a little extra that might be otherwise ignored as in excluding the tired exorcism scene. The beginning is the only one to feature that, and it's an abbreviated one that doesn't even finish which is quite nice since those scenes are really played out and don't really offer anything new. This here also has some pretty good action scenes in its' two really big martial arts fight scenes, which are both above-average for the style. The main one against the henchmen and their boss is the big scene, which is long and really drawn-out which makes for an exciting scene as well. Some of the gore scenes aren't that bad, and the continuous sleaze is provided rather nicely along the way here but otherwise, this one had a few nagging problems. One of the main ones is that there's not a whole lot of action going on, with a middle segment largely devoted to its investigation. The investigation is boring, with the film having absolutely nothing interesting going on since it consists of little more than bringing up wild theories only to be immediately shot down and is soon steered towards talking about him. This is done for everything in that segment, and doesn't do much to keep it interesting. The fact that this one is so short time-wise is another dragging mark against the film, since there's a continuous need to press forward with continuous scenes that produce nothing but boredom due to the predicable and really dull investigation segment. This one really could've used more time not only in keeping the running time for this one stretched out with a few more fight scenes in here while also giving it a more frantic and exciting plot line by refreshing many of the motives rationales for everyone involved as the shortened time rushes through all of these for the most part. These here are the film's flaws that keep it down.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Full Nudity.
lastliberal There is nothing new here. Demon Hunter is a goofy, low-budget flick that wouldn't look out-of-place as a "movie of the week" on the Sci-Fi Channel. hey! It is on this Friday. Unfortunately, it would have to be cut to just an hour after the sex scenes are removed - and that's with commercials! Sean Patrick Flanery (Into the Fire, Kiss the Bride, Simply Irresistible) does a credible job as the demon hunter in a kind of Blade/Constantine remake. He the church's Michael Clayton, who comes in to fix messes when exorcisms go wrong.He is helped by Colleen Porch (All In, Transformers, I Know Who Killed Me), a nun (who kinda looks like Angelina Jolie) who is definitely not cut out for this work.He is fighting one of the evilest looking characters in the movies, Billy Drago (The Hills Have Eyes (2006), Mysterious Skin, The Untouchables), who is trying to create some evil spawn. He is assisted by a knockout, Tania Deighton (Something's Gotta Give), who needs to be in a lot more movies.Lots of skin and some good fighting, but no FX. You've seen it all before.
Homer Simpson Tries to be original and moves along at a brisk pace so you won't be bored. Amongst pretty good performances by the entire cast, Billy Drago is convincingly sleazy as the head demon. There's plenty of T&A and a decent amount of violence. This film is hardly challenging, but what did you expect from a movie named "Demon Hunter"? The production values are way above your average low-budget crap horror movie and there was an attempt to craft an interesting plot. What can I say, I liked it! I wish there was a sequel.Definitely worth an afternoon diversion. Give it a try!
