Dr Nostromo2026-07-02
★ 7/10
71/100 Dolph Lundgren in a surprisingly good film. Reminiscent of "The Hidden", Dolph deftly portrays a demon hunter who is hunting a demon that possesses people and if that person is killed, it leaps to the killer ...making killing it kinda tough. Low-budget and, at times, looks it, the banter between Dolph and his new FBI partner (Kristina Klebe) is handled extremely well and the characters are fully formed. Comes off as an 80's horror, action film with an excellent balance between serious and camp and a body count that's quite impressive. Super fun! -- DrNostromo.com
