CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Woodyanders Rough'n'tumble half-breed holy a**kicker demon hunter Jake Greyman (a superbly rugged portrayal by Sean Patrick Flanery of "The Boondock Saints") fights various forms of evil for the Catholic Church. He's assigned by Cardinal White (nicely played by William Bassett) to stop nefarious lustful hell spawn Asmodeus (a marvelously creepy and reptilian Billy Drago) and his loyal servant Succubus (gorgeous brunette knockout Tania Deighton, who sports cute little horns) from procreating with fallen Los Angeles prostitutes. Compassionate unorthodox nun Sarah Ryan (a likable performance by striking hottie Colleen Porch) helps Jake out on his desperate mission. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance. Director Scott Ziehl, working from a blithely schlocky script by Mitch Gould, loads this enjoyably silly supernatural claptrap with several rousing bash 'em up fight scenes, a decent smattering of gratuitous nudity, a dab of grisly gore, and even a smidgen of steamy soft-core sex. Moreover, Ziehl keeps the pace rattling along at a satisfying steady clip throughout this movie's short'n'sweet 78 minute running time. Flanery's scruffy, apathetic and cynical character makes for an engagingly hard-around-the-edges anti-hero. Robert C. New's slick, agile cinematography, the wailin', head-bangin' rock soundtrack, Jon Lee's roaring score, and some laughably lousy CGI effects further add to the overall entertainingly trashy fun.

siderite 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.

Paul Andrews Demon Hunter is set in modern day Los Angeles where half demon half man Jake Greyman (Sean Patrick Flanery) has an ugly job, he works for the Catholic church as a demon hunter who uses his powers to rid the streets of various unpleasant demons. His latest mission is a young girl & ex-prostitute named Maria (Lea Moreno Young) who happens to be pregnant with evil Vampire demon thing Asmodeus' (Billy Drago) baby, Jake takes care of her in his own unique way. Reporting back to his boss Cardinal White (William Bassett) it seems this isn't an isolated incident & Asmodeus wants to spread his 'seed' throughout the world beginning with impregnating some Los Angeles prostitutes, hey it's a start isn't it? However Asmodeus hasn't figured on demon killer Jake & his partner Sister Sarah Ryan (Colleen Porch) who are out to find him & stop him...Directed by Scott Ziehl there simply isn't any nice way by which I can describe Demon Hunter so I won't even try, it is complete total & utter crap & it's as simple & straight forward as that. I'm not sure quite who the script by Mitch Gould is aimed at or what sort of film this is supposed to be, large portions of this lame film is taken up with really bad philosophical dialogue between Jake & his new partner Sister Sarah. You see when it comes down to it Demon Hunter is basically a mismatched partner film, you know what I mean a sort of good cop bad cop scenario, in fact I kept thinking of Lethal Weapon (1987) as Jake is obviously the tough uncompromising one while Sister Sarah is the moralistic one & by the end of the film he's lightened up a bit & she has no problem shooting people. Far too much screen time is given to this really badly written relationship & the two cardboard cutout character's involved in it, listen guys this isn't rocket science here as all we, the viewer that is, want to see is lots of fights, some nudity, some good looking chicks in leather outfits & some decent horror. To add to Demon Hunter's problems it's incredibly slow, there is one fight during the opening sequence but then you have to wait until the film reaches the 40 minute mark before the next & then after that there isn't another fight until the end. There's no horror or exploitation worth mentioning & quite how the filmmakers managed to screw a half decent Blade (1998) type idea up this badly is beyond me.Director Ziehl does a reasonable job actually, it's got some nice photography & the odd stylish scene. Unfortunately the film is still awful, the action scenes are poor (see Blade to see how it's done properly), there's no gore (again see Blade to see how it's done), the special effects are poor (see Blade to see how it's done properly), the main villain is terrible is neither scary nor menacing & doesn't do a thing except spout a load of nonsense (see Blade to see how it's done properly) although on a positive note his female sidekick looks quite foxy. In terms of gore there is one scene where someone gets a stake through their chest & there's one dead body & that's it.With a supposed budget of about $1,000,000 I suppose the poor effects & lacklustre action scenes can be blamed on a low budget but that still doesn't excuse the film for being so dull, boring & downright awful. The acting isn't up to much although it's nice to see Billy Drago in something even if having him in a The Matrix (1999) style kung-fu fight is stretching it a bit. Is it just me or is Porch a dead ringer for Angelina Jolie?Demon Hunter is a low budget piece of action/horror Blade rip-off crap that lacks any action or horror, not a film to get excited about. One to avoid, just watch Blade again instead you'll be glad you did.

yatri25 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.
