Good concept, poorly executed.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
When I saw Billy Drago's name in the credits, I was like, "We're doomed". But this was actually not a bad little film. it had some snappy dialog, the plot moved along at a good pace, and it had kind of a neat twist ending. So the Catholic Church (Seriously, again the Catholics? Why doesn't Satan ever mess with the other religions?) employs a half-demon hybrid to hunt down demons and people possessed by them. Meanwhile the lust Demon, Asmodeus, is impregnating prostitutes and trophy wives in order to create his children on Earth. There's is also a really silly looking succubus. Again, everything about this movie screams "Cheese", but it's a higher quality cheese than you normally expect. You know, the kind you'd actually serve with a fine wine.
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.
As low budget horror movies with demons and hunters, this one was pretty good. Sean Patrick Flannery is a half breed and Billy Drago is evil (wow, what a surprise :) ). Evil is as evil does, but Mr Drago, at his 57 years and 86 appearances, still gets to be surrounded by lustful naked women and to lick the skin of helpless girls.The basic story is pretty cliché, with things added up from different stories of the genre: half-demon demon hunter works for the Church. But Sean Patrick Flannery makes a good role and carries the entire movie on his back.Bottom line: this was not a good movie, but as the movies in this category go, this was one of the best. Beats Blade on story and acting, but it is low budget, so no special effects.
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!
