Shadowhunters is an ambitious but ultimately mediocre horror film from the Tomb of Terrors box set. It at least tries with its confusing mythology involving demon hunters, a demon named Malfeitor and a bunch of cute sorority girls running around almost the entire film in their underwear. One of them named Sera (played by the sexy Rebecca Taylor) has a dark secret. Once you get past the horribly filmed opening and the fact that the shadowhunters look like complete tools wearing trench coats and fedoras this is actually passable. Having cute college girls run around half naked (and occasionally topless) helps with the doldrums. There's a fair amount of action and bloodshed. There's also demons possessing people including a hilariously bad scene of a demon strangling two girls at once. Almost the entire movie takes place in an office building. The acting is decent for this sort of thing but often stiff and trying too hard to be funny. The average low budget horror viewer will probably find this much more "digestible" than most of the rotten gruel in the Tomb of Terrors box set.
