Quotes:

[first lines]
Maria: [possessed] Look at the pretty man. Hello, pretty man. Are you here for your friend? I'm afraid you're too late to save him.
Jake Greyman: I didn't come here to save him.
Maria: Then perhaps you've come to play with me.
Jake Greyman: I'm not here to wallow with pigs, either.
Maria: Then you must die now...

Movie Connections:

Featured in Demons Among Us (2006) (V)

Blade meets Spawn? This was actually not bad.

As low budget horror movies with demons and hunters, this one was pretty good. Sean Patrick Flannery is a half breed and Billy Drago is evil (wow, what a surprise :) ). Evil is as evil does, but Mr Drago, at his 57 years and 86 appearances, still gets to be surrounded by lustful naked women and to lick the skin of helpless girls.

The basic story is pretty cliché, with things added up from different stories of the genre: half-demon demon hunter works for the Church. But Sean Patrick Flannery makes a good role and carries the entire movie on his back.

Bottom line: this was not a good movie, but as the movies in this category go, this was one of the best. Beats Blade on story and acting, but it is low budget, so no special effects.
