• shadow hunters, a film for you to watch

  To keep this review in layman's terms, the artwork on the cover of the DVD seems a lot more exciting than the film at times.For seemingly a self released film the camera work and lighting are very good,special effects aren't bad. There are bits of cheese to it,and way to many sub plots. Iam not a film "critic", if anything check this out, there will be something you'll enjoy, most likely not the boobs though.Most notable performance Will Smith(ray) and the guy who shits his pants.I think this film has AMAZING BONUS FEATURES.... *********I would like to see John Johnson's film with the vampires riding horseback, but i cannot get ahold of it.

• Indie Horror At Its Finest!

  Mood. Atmosphere. Believable acting. One of the best played-out "death scenes" ("Kimberly") I've seen in a film (which shows the audience without entirely showing...). This one was a dark pleasure to watch. Without giving away spoilers, if you like trench coats, fedoras, lingerie, beautiful women and demon possession in your flicks, it's definitely worth it. And if those aren't your fancy, try it and they just might be! Indie films are near & dear to me. "John Johnson's Shadowhunters" is another reason why. The downside of the DVD version is there is only one deleted scene. There are, however, other special features to check out.

• Definitely worth a watch.

  I got this movie as part of the "Tomb or Terrors" 50 pack. It's one of the more worthwhile titles on there. The acting can be stiff at times, but that plays to the 40's noir style of some of the characters. The F/X are "hokey" to the right degree and overall it's a fun story, with some likable characters, a fairly high body count and good pace. The movie is shot very well the budget range I would guess it's in. The audio has it's moments of imperfections, but nothing that causes you to miss lines. If you like indie horror to begin with I think you'll enjoy this one. I'd like to see a sequel.

• Excellent work

  Without saying much about the actual film.... When I was browsing the Ithaca Hollywood Video, I saw something glow in the Horror section. Ahh yes, John Johnson's, Shadow Hunters. I instantly took it off the shelves before anyone could get there paws on it. When the film was all through, I'd been struck with energy and built up enough courage to call that Liam fuckerr and tell him what I thought. From beginning to end it flowed smoothly. I really enjoyed the professional Photoshoping and perfect animated credits. It's well worth the purchase. Buy it.

  Awesome! Those were the first words I uttered after having the pleasure of watching John Johnson's Shadowhunters. It brings back the good old days of trench coat wearing, gun slinging demon hunters. And a good sense of old fashion pulpy horror. I'm not sure the budget on the flick but for a LB production, it spouted a excellent look and direction by Mr. Johnson. The actors are great to along with the FX. Absolutely check this soon to be cult classic out, brain-damage films did a nice job with the DVD to boot. A+ Trench coats, guns, nudity... hell yeah!! I look forward to what Johnson will bring to us in future years, stay tuned kiddies. Rob Sibley
