Memorable, crazy movie
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Out of all the films by Johannes Roberts, The moment I saw the intro, I know this would be great! and My god was it. This was completely shot on 35mm, for a low budget..this is a good thing. I love the whole film, it is beautifully composed and shot, its soo crisp! The story is solid too. The effects are great! This is one of the best things I watched for long time. I watched all of the Johannes Roberts films, and this one really stands out, I think its because of aesthetics, this is by far one of the most beautiful films I have seen in a long while. I watched them all: Sanitarum, Alice (aka hellbreeder), this ( dark hunters) and forest of the damned. And I still love this, Acting is good too. You must watch it if your not impressed by the into then, you wont like the rest of the film possibly. The effects are all really good. I cant get over how much I like this. Check it out!
Sure its been done before and better, but I still like the concept of the souls that get left behind, a bureaucratic bungle at a supreme being level.The effects are pretty good considering the budget,not a lot of gore, but what there is ...is well done.Both the demon and angel concepts were well done, and looked cool on the screen.The acting was at best average, sometimes overblown, many times under blown.The story idea was very good, but there were a lot of loose ends that did not get tied up at the conclusion...the sub stories just sort of fad away.Still I enjoyed this movie a lot more then most it seems, and if you like solid B movies, you might like this one too.
Hey guys and girls! Don't ever rent, or may God forbid, buy this piece of garbage. I have rarely seen a film in any genre as bad as this one. The acting is actually worse than me and my friends did when we were 7 and in the 1.grade had to act in front of all parents and siblings. In fact, we would have been taken up to evaluation for the Oscars, if we were to be compared to the actors in Darkhunters. The story is terrible, the makeup is terrible, the filming is terrible, the set is terrible, the directing is terrible, etc. I can't actually find ANYTHING worth the money spent to see this film.. Maybe except all the cats, which my girlfriend thought were kind of cute. Please, use your money on other things than on this film.... I couldn't even see the last 15-20 minutes of the film, it was that terrible.. If anyone really liked this film, I would REALLY like to hear from you, and I will try to see if I can get you some counseling at a psychiatrist's office near you..0 out of 10, actually below if possible.. Not worth the DVD or tape it is on..
Apparently the boundary between life and death isn't as cut and dried as I thought. Sometimes death makes a mistake and the soul of the ghost is fair game for demonic bounty hunters. Fortunately, Carol Miller, whose near-death experience as a child has given her insight into the next life, is there to help people caught between life and death. I wasn't expecting much when I took this film down from the video shelf, but I was pleasantly surprised. While flawed in many ways, I found the premise intriguing and execution professional enough to keep me interested throughout. It also didn't hurt to have Dominique Pinon in the film. He's always watchable as an actor, even if this script certainly wasn't up to the level of 'Delicatessen' or 'Amelie.' The script was a little convoluted, and the audience would have been better served if the back story had been introduced more coherently. Still, to me, the main problem was the special effects. Most of them were somewhat cheesy although I did like the title animation.I think some of the other reviewers here on the IMDb are a little too hard on this film. I have been going on a mind-numbing expedition through the straight-to-DVD fare at my local Blockbuster and this film is better than most!
