Why so much hype?

Absolutely brilliant

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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.

Jake Greyman(Sean Patrick Flanery)is a "half-breed", a hellspawn born from a mortal whose father was a demon, one of the devil's angels. Jake has a rather bleak view of mankind, yet, despite not be loved by God, works for the Cardinal of a Catholic Church, hunting down the possessed and killing the host bodies if priests are unable to exorcise the demons. Billy Drago(..relishing this role)is the Demon of Lust, Asmodeus, and he plans to spread his seed, creating an army of half-breeds to do his will, by devouring the souls of hookers and "women of the street" on the seedy side of downtown LA, and the Red Light District. Colleen Porch is Sister Sarah, a nun who developed very well in the convent, is assigned to partner with Jake as they pursue Asmodeus. Asmodeus has a luscious, seductive horned succubus in a leather suit with wings(..often as Jake and Sarah move from one location to the next we see a wing flap open at the top left hand corner of the screen)keeping an eye on Jake, curious of his activities. The succubus believes she can cast her spell over Jake and possess him to follow Asmodeus..will Jake allow darkness to envelope him? Can Jake actually succeed in upending the forces of darkness far more powerful than anything he's ever faced? What Jake doesn't know is that the Cardinal has been keeping a secret hidden from him concerning Sarah. Asmodeus desires Sarah, an innocent he yearns to possess and impregnate. William Bassett is Cardinal White, the one who gives out orders for Jake to accomplish, much to his chagrin. As Jake, Flannery remains solemn throughout, a man whose life doesn't amount to much, except what he's skilled at, removing anyone or thing that threatens his goals to take out demons possessing humans. Nancy Yooin is Nancy in the film, a prostitute who married a 90 year old millionaire and is the last on a list of girls to be possessed and planted with a demon seed after Asmodeus seduces her with overwhelming ecstasy. I'm always amused when they cast these women like Porch as nuns, so we can see her, out of habit, in a tight dress and shirt(..with a coat to dress her in a modest means of reducing her obvious sexy figure), so we can later see them absent clothing(..in a bra, but still, we can see that she's no ordinary nun). There's an emphasis on action in this one and a brooding Flannery toned an athletic body for this film, allowed to combat men and the possessed with considerable ease, using martial arts. In truth, it's easy to see in Flannery's fight with Drago, that it's staged with stuntmen through the use of quick edits and fast camera work. We can see that there was some "wire-fu" as well particularly when Flannery has to contend with demon possessed humans in flight. There was a lot more nudity than I has anticipated and some moderate gore. If one thing is missing, you don't get a whole lot of graphic violence, most of Jake's dirty work is committed off-screen, which is always a drag to me. I guess one could call Demon Hunter a poor man's Constantine, because this was shot on a much smaller scale considering it's overly ambitious plot.

I thought the movie was good, but I really think that it would be a good TV series like Angel, Buffy, and Charmed. It could be on network TV or the sci-fi network, but to me it would have made a better TV show than it did a movie. And less sex scenes, those are so overrated. But I liked it overall, but to me it felt like I was watching an episode of a TV show and I wanted to know what would happen next with the character Jacob. But it's not as bad as everyone here says it is. I recommend seeing it. You should be your own critic. After watching it, tell me it shouldn't be a TV show. I would most definitely watch it and think others would too.

BLADE meets "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" – BILLY DRAGO stars as a half human/half demon who fights to save the world from a vicious demon bent on forcing possessed women to bear its children.Yawn, it's not exactly the most original type of movie and it easily tries to emulate the styles of recent fanatical television series. It's filled with boring modern rock music, poor dialogue and uninteresting fight scenes which may have just been borderline passable if it were an actual TV series but this movie just didn't move at a good pace.The opening scene whilst not being fantastic may shine some light of hope in your eyes but from then on in you should only stay for the boobs because that's the only thing that caught my eye. The slutty demons were a nice touch... very nice touch.This was too much like a television show and I'm sure the reason why they keep shows like that 45 minutes or shorter is because they're boring in high dosages. To no avail, Demon Hunter becomes very boring, very quickly.Too much talking, too much walking. Fight scenes are just punch for punch and no flashy choreography is apparent. In fact, these fights were probably coordinated by the actors themselves. It's hard to review this movie because I don't watch many television series, if any at all.Hence, I can't take much more of this.
