Demon Hunter

This is a low budget movie and the lack of locations etc... does show that, however it was a lot better than i expected and i'm happy about that because I like Shaun Patrick Flannery.

The dialogue at points in the movie was a little hammy and the director used the same stock shot several times (although this may have been to save money) but in general the story line was pretty good and the acting was OK.

This may not be for everyone and draws a lot of comparisons with Constantine (which i also enjoyed) so if you liked that you may like this.

I suppose my final comments would be that its a very average movie but it did entertain me for an hour and a half and for a movie based on a video game it was a lot better than any other i have seen lately especially any Uwe Boll movie.

I am normally quite easy to please when it comes to Sci-Fi and paranormal movies, if the story is good. The acting in this move is really poor, and the story very thin, perhaps I have seen too many of this kind of movies.

The beginning of the movie is actually good, and has a new approach, but after those 5-10 minutes it is down hill. The devils makeup and costumes are, well the best word is funny, there is some gore and that part is all right, but the few animated effect really is out of place, there is some feeble attempts on fighting. But that part too gets weird, and I do not mean the exciting way weird.

If you like exorcist movies you get very disappointed, but if you have absolutely nothing to do and want to see Demons possessing people, some bare skin, and the church's weird way of dealing with Demons then go for it.

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!

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.

Demon Hunter is a lower budget film that its brother Constantine. And so there is less gloss in its special effects. The scenes are captured more rawly than picturesquely. However, the rawness adds a feel of realism that draws the objective viewer into the story. Reminiscent to the feel of Terminator (staring Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Demon Hunter's story line works. The characters are well casted and rendered convincingly. The gore and shock punctuates defining and pivotal story elements. Admirably, horror is not excessively used to compensate for the movies' lower budget. Demon Hunter has a good pace and never drags. If you like this type of flick, watching Demon Hunter is good time well spent.
