Darkhunters (2004)
7/10
Acting & editing could have been better; plot & concept great!
6 September 2004
I give it a 7 out of 10. Charles Jackson's role seemed a bit overacted at times, as when emoting at the cats; Carol Miller seems underacted at times, as when she is calmly arguing with the fire-faced demon. Both roles have their jarring moments. Jeff Fahey as Barlow was a sheer delight. Hey, if I was a demon and trying to "pass" as a human detective, I also might use old "B" detective thrillers as my role model. I would like to see more of Barlow! Also a nice touch: the constraints that demons operate under when operating in the material world, as in the fire-faced demon having to lug around cat carriers! All in all, the film lacked something in acting and editing (ex: Carol's hands are bloody in the confessional, then suddenly she is wearing gloves), but the plot was satisfactory complex and the overall concept was fantastically original and daring. I would love to see this as a TV series!
