David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...it doesn't take long for the movie to sink into irrelevance...
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
Stolen plots, stupid stories, and silly monsters I can take, but there's no damn reason a 75-minute movie should feel like 275.
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
Demon Hunter is a quick little film that hits its mark more than it misses. It's a fun ride while it lasts.

Like Blade Runner but with the replicants replaced with demons... and it's shit. Pretty much a carbon copy of many other Zone Horror TV films. It has it's fun moments and you can really relish in the poor moments if you enjoy the sort of self harm watching as I. Some generic kung-fu fights, filthy ladies who get naked and a leather clad protagonist. Tries to address issues such as morality but fails. Poor dialogue distracts from a poor screenplay in general so there's no escape. Still I was certainly enthralled when the strangely attractive nun changed in the last ten minutes. Bizarre.

This movies was SO disappointing, especially because it held such promise. When I was watching this, all I could think about was how much better it could have been. The characters were wasted where there could have been depth, there was clumsy fighting where there could have been finesse, or at the very least graceful dialogue. I even found this film vaguely misogynistic, with none of the female characters having any internal merit. Plus I hated the main character. If this was remade by someone with a brain, I might be interested in that movie, but this one is a total failure.

It's overlong, there isn't much action, there's only one really sexy scene and that involves some old grandad in a leather coat, and it just sucks.

Sean Patrick Flanery delivers a cool Steve McQueen-ish kind of performance as a rogue half-demon spawn who works for the church hunting his own kind on Earth in this hell-thriller film.
