Demon Hunter (2005)

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

The movie starts pretty good. I dug the hot possessed girl. If it was me, I would "play" with her as she suggests to our hero. Anyways, the first scene ends and we face the reality of the movie. The premise is pretty good but in my opinion, it is too late before it gets interesting. I actually got bored. There's a lot of sensuality, hot women (mainly because of the succubus), but little action and horror related scenes. The performances are pretty good for the movie's situations.I catched this movie on cable and I suggest you to do the same thing. I mean, don't spend your money on it. There are Horror elements but not enough to please a Horror fan. Still, it's an interesting story and deserves a chance.

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.

Horrible acting and the dialogs were like they were reading wisdom from fortune cookies, kinda funny sometimes. The movie lacked feeling, was totally stripped of all emotions, even the action scenes were somewhat relaxed. Plot is also very thin, this film goes from A to B to C to D to E and in that order there is a small surprise element but was more a surprisingly absurd rather then anything else.Music was OK.This Story reminded me somewhat of Constantine and Sean Patrick Flanery is in Keanu's role. Except here he is half demon.Excuse my spelling
