Following the release of a demonic creature, a guardian of a secret society recruits a young woman born as a special breed of unholy being to right her past wrongs and stop the creatures' rampage.
This turned out to be quite a decent effort overall. One of the better elements to this one is the inclusion of some rather fun action sense that makes this a lot more fun than it needs to be. There's a lot of rather enjoyable action scene from the training montage that fully explains her powers as well as the ensuing battle at the forum which is only their first encounter but sets the stage for later ones quite well. Even brawls inside the facility and a chase through the woods come off as rather enjoyable, though the final battle here gets the goods as being the most entertaining by being the typically drag-out brawl that's to be expected from such a final conflict. The numerous encounters here lead to some pretty decent blood and gore through the scratches, wounds and deformed bodies that are displayed along the way which are quite exciting. While being a little simplistic, there's some fun to be had here from the intriguing storyline connecting the demonic creature to her biblical past as well as the main storyline about the plague spreading throughout the rest of the world at the time. Otherwise, there's not much else to like here as the majority of the time is spent trying to get her to come to terms with her past. Not a whole lot really happens during these scenes as it just amounts to hearsay anyway but keeps going through several tries at getting the truth hammered home that it tends to conflict with the story, dragging this out so it seems to be quite slow and sluggish in terms of pace. That also tends to affect the pace as this one just doesn't have anything really interesting when not focused directly on the creature running loose and really tends to get a little sluggish at times. The CGI is simply way to fake to even be considered to make the final demon look anywhere near threatening. A suit would've looked far more threatening and imposing. The design looks cool, but the execution is way off. Beyond these, there's not a whole lot really wrong with this one.
Rated R: Violence and children-in-jeopardy.
