reeves2002 I liked this movie and really liked the oddball special effects.It was different that's for sure.A few scenes dragged on way too long especially the scene with Charlie on the run.The chase scenes were also a bit long but they had an interesting tranquil feeling.You felt almost like you are high on opiates,but I understood it was because he was halfway between life and death.I liked his freaked out reaction when he realized nobody could see him.I didn't really understand why all the cats were following him.The dogs barking was a bit annoying and it wasn't clear if they also sensed or saw what the cats were seeing.His fear of the cats wasn't explained very well or his death and why his soul was in limbo.There were a lot of loose ends but the visuals were nice. the quality of the film was grainy at least my copy of it was.If there is a better digital transfer of this movie out there i'd like to get it.I really enjoyed Dominique Pinon in the main role of Carol the psychologist and look forward to seeing her in other movies.My favorite character was "Mr Barlow" played by Jeff Fahey.His part was short but intriguing and sinister. I give this movie a 6 out of 10. I liked how at the very end in the credits it says the movie is dedicated to God.I'm not sure if this was true or meant to be funny but i'm sure he's got a sense of humor.

dunkiin The main title sequence for Darkhunters is very well done. A series of black and red images set the scene for an adventure into the gritty line between life and death - a place that isn't just black and white. It's a place that's horribly funny, if you can get past the Ed Wood-ish editing.Cheesy dialogue, a terrible script, absolutely horrid camera-work and editing ... it's either an incredible disaster or a wonderful success. The main title sequence promised an interesting adventure - however, it appears they spent their entire production budget on this part of the film. Afterwards, we meet Charlie, a deranged psychotic who meets and interacts with a psychologist-turned-... what? Supposedly a 'bounty hunter of lost souls', but as portrayed in the film, she's just another deranged psychotic, and the merry pair go trick-or-treating in the land of long takes of cats in fields, fast-motion cloud shots, and terrible scripting; along the way they meet a Darth Maul look-a-like cat lover who mumbles all of his lines because his scary costume has been badly abused by a group of school children with fat magic markers. In essence, this film is a work of art beyond expectations. If you examine its parts, it is an utmost failure in almost every aspect. However, as a whole, may have you laughing through almost every scene like a deranged lunatic yourself.Definitely worth watching. It's no Citizen Kane, but I had a GREAT time viewing it. If some of the ludicrous shots had been cut shorter (exactly how long do we have to spend looking at cats and clouds?), it might even be worth watching TWICE. Cult Comedy potential is there.

catoholm OK, it was a "risky" move to rent this flick, but I thought I had nothing to lose.Well, I was wrong. This is, next to "Bloodsurf", the worst "horrormovie" I have ever seen. Crappy actors, crappy technical output, crappy story and so on. The soundtrack though, isn't to bad. That is why I give it a 2 on the vote and not just a 1. And of course the cats are a positive surprise. By far the superior actors in this movie..... Do not rent or buy it. Stay away from it and hope that this horrible, horrible film will vanish to some obscure existence and not become a "cult classic". It most definitely do not deserve any recognition.

moviemanic07 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!
