OK the box look interesting, the opening have great music and its kinda original, to that its all OK. But when the movie start...well its not my first videoville movie, i watched Ghost Lake, and its very similar of this movie except its ever worse here. The story at first sounded interesting but the whole movie look like a movie shot by a bunch of university student, with specials effect that me laugh, the blood look like a mix of red and white paint, the fire effect on the demon face look like it was done with a program i could buy at my local computer shop. All the movie is shot in day(very great for a movie supposed to be horror) and there like no gore(1 scene only and it look so home-made and not credible) and near no blood(it can be considered a great thing considering the look of the blood show) and 1 demon for the whole movie. The story is going nowhere , it give you the impression that it never start, there so much useless scene done only to give the movie the average duration time(when the demon search the guy in the dogs thing for about 4 minutes...) Way too much slow-mo things. Well lets just say this movie is a Z-series one and a very poor one. All cool idea lost themselves and you get a cheesy movie. It bored my all long and I'm not the guy who get bored very easily with horror movie, man i even like house of the dead and alone in the dark from Uwe Boll and you probably know the name for being one of the worst director but here it look too much like some guys wanting to make a movie for fun. Plus for us french speaker(tough i understand English i prefer to watch movie in my native language) there the usual videoville bad translation. In normal movie you can barely see its not the actor speaking(you have to check on lips etc) here you just have to listen to it and you know it. Very cheesy

Out of all the films by Johannes Roberts, The moment I saw the intro, I know this would be great! and My god was it. This was completely shot on 35mm, for a low budget..this is a good thing. I love the whole film, it is beautifully composed and shot, its soo crisp! The story is solid too. The effects are great! This is one of the best things I watched for long time. I watched all of the Johannes Roberts films, and this one really stands out, I think its because of aesthetics, this is by far one of the most beautiful films I have seen in a long while. I watched them all: Sanitarum, Alice (aka hellbreeder), this ( dark hunters) and forest of the damned. And I still love this, Acting is good too. You must watch it if your not impressed by the into then, you wont like the rest of the film possibly. The effects are all really good. I cant get over how much I like this. Check it out!

Sure its been done before and better, but I still like the concept of the souls that get left behind, a bureaucratic bungle at a supreme being level.The effects are pretty good considering the budget,not a lot of gore, but what there is ...is well done.Both the demon and angel concepts were well done, and looked cool on the screen.The acting was at best average, sometimes overblown, many times under blown.The story idea was very good, but there were a lot of loose ends that did not get tied up at the conclusion...the sub stories just sort of fad away.Still I enjoyed this movie a lot more then most it seems, and if you like solid B movies, you might like this one too.

Apparently the boundary between life and death isn't as cut and dried as I thought. Sometimes death makes a mistake and the soul of the ghost is fair game for demonic bounty hunters. Fortunately, Carol Miller, whose near-death experience as a child has given her insight into the next life, is there to help people caught between life and death. I wasn't expecting much when I took this film down from the video shelf, but I was pleasantly surprised. While flawed in many ways, I found the premise intriguing and execution professional enough to keep me interested throughout. It also didn't hurt to have Dominique Pinon in the film. He's always watchable as an actor, even if this script certainly wasn't up to the level of 'Delicatessen' or 'Amelie.' The script was a little convoluted, and the audience would have been better served if the back story had been introduced more coherently. Still, to me, the main problem was the special effects. Most of them were somewhat cheesy although I did like the title animation.I think some of the other reviewers here on the IMDb are a little too hard on this film. I have been going on a mind-numbing expedition through the straight-to-DVD fare at my local Blockbuster and this film is better than most!
