Storyline

They say the only thing you can depend upon in life is death. Charles Jackson is about to find out that isn't true. Dying is a tricky process and mistakes get made. How many ghost stories have you heard over the years? And what is a ghost but a mistake of death, an unclaimed soul forgotten by God. Now his only hope to get to heaven is the mysterious Carol Miller, a Dark Hunter, whose job it is to return those souls to death before others find them, for a soul is a valuable commodity and there are those who do not serve God but a darker master, who would eagerly exploit this. Darkhunters creates a world of demons and angels that will take you beyond your imagination.

Barlow: Do I believe in God? Sure I do. Do I like him? I think he's a pompous ass with a bad sense of humour.

User Reviews

When its good it's actually very good

It's interesting seeing how the film seems to have split people down the middle - I guess never a bad thing for a film even when some people hate it as much as some people evidently do here. I myself would fall into the former category - I wouldn't say this is the best film I have ever seen but I really did enjoy it. When it works - The angel at the end of the film and the car crash amongst a couple of moments - the film is actually very very good. However this is offset against some weak and padded and just very (God very!!!)slow moments. Jeff Fahey is probably the best thing about the cast which is not something you can often say about Mr Fahey - and he is evidently enjoying the role as monster / pi. Dominique Pinon however has seen better days! Overall though it is an enjoyable watch - better than the director's last film Hellbreeder although equally strange in it's own way.
