The chances are you won't see another film like this all year. After the lackluster films at San Sebastian and most of the rubbish that graces the video shelves, this film is sheer delight! It is more fantasy than horror so beware. The film opens with the Carol Miller (played by the beautiful Susan Paterno) chasing and killing a girl before telling us how she came to this predicament - cue flashbacks and the story proper as we thrust headlong into a world of demon cats, soul hunters and private investigators. There is no escaping the fact that this film is frankly rather odd - a ten minute ghost story is inserted into the plot midway through - The main demon speaks in subtitles (Van Husen in brilliant form, with or without a voice!) and there is a three minute journey to heaven, amongst other equally strange moment but it all adds up to a highly enjoyable Stephen King meets...what? I don't know - Harry Potter maybe...film.
