The Demon Hunter

It wasn't perfect, by any means, and Dolph Lundgren carries this film, but, I was kept entertained. It was almost like ASH VS EVIL DEAD meets I COME IN PEACE.

Sure, it was a little rough around the edges having a demon with extremely limited vocabulary but able to communicate physically which got a little tiresome, but Dolph's struggle to catch it jumping from person-to-person added a comedic effect.

Also, the small town ambiance made up for lack of a big budget, sort of like, THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN or THE ZODIAC KILLER. And, it didn't take itself too seriously either.

When I saw articles that Dolph Lundgren was to play the main lead in a horror I was sceptic. I mean, he's a mean killing machine and I don't see him in a horror or it must be as the bad guy and that isn't the fact. Of course Dolph isn't that young anymore so using his muscles wasn't going to be the case.

But with Klebe in it who I met at a convention I gave it a try. And once the flick was over I was happy that I saw it. I admit, some are right, the script isn't top notch and you have seen it all before but due the fact that there is enough action from the beginning until the end makes it worth seeing. But not only that, the effects used are really above mediocre so it's on the edge of gore.

The title says it all, just don't kill it and after the first 10 minutes you will know why. Just a no- brainer that I guess old school horror buffs will enjoy because the red stuff is there and an eighties thespian takes the lead.

This is a very different horror movie. This is a demon movie, but it isn't really religious. It's fun to watch, but by no means a fantastic, award winning horror movie. I enjoyed watching it, but doubt I'll be running out to buy it. The special effects are cheesy, but it's an interesting idea. Worth watching if you have time to kill.

On one level this movie seems even too low budget for Dolph Lundgren. On the other it was an excellent choice for the action hero.

Have you ever seen his film I come in Peace? When I herd the title for this movie I thought I was going to be watching something more like that, which is more of a Sci-Fi laced action thriller, but this is a little more horror than expected. Mostly because of the low budget look you get when you shoot in pretty much two or three locations.

Lundgren plays a demon hunter, I like to point out similar to the demon hunters on the show Supernatural (big like Sam Winchester, but jaded like Dean Winchester). He comes to a small town that's being attack by a demon that possess the body of the person who kills it, making it difficult to take down.

Unnecessary and overwrought gore mixed with a thin plot make for a mildly amusing flick. If seeing the campy violence of a small caliber bullet turn someone's head into a canoe doesn't bring a smile to your face, you will not enjoy this movie. Come to Don't Kill It with low expectations and you probably won't be disappointed.
