Featured reviews
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.
The effects are cheap and occasionally unconvincing, but the opening montage where the main character does a bit of cartooning shows a strong visual sense. You get the feeling that the creators could have done a lot more, if given a proper budget. The script has a lot of ponderous exchanges on the subject of moral ambiguity and obligation, giving the viewer an impression that the writer would like to get into William Peter Blatty's intellectual space, but lacks for headroom. All that could be afforded was an urban action movie with some catholic mythology and that is delivered, with reasonable efficiency.
Comparison to Constantine is inevitable, but rather unfair given the difference in financing. It's a bit like complaining that a busker with a kazoos does not measure up to a full studio orchestra. Demon Hunter is a competently made B-movie with few ambitions above its station.
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.
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.
"Demon Hunter" is an entertaining rip off of Constantine in the environment of Buffy and Angel. The demons have fangs like vampires, and the face of the surprising last monster is very similar to those in Buffy and Angel. The story seems to be a pilot of a television show and has some good moments. The unknown Tania Deighton is very seductive in the role of Succubus, the greatest attraction of this movie. I saw it with very low expectation, and I surprisingly liked "Demon Hunter". My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): Not Available.

Jake Greyman: [last lines - narration] Let those with morals worry about morality. As for me, I'll just do what I always do. Only this time I'll do it my way.
