Holy Night: Demon Hunters

Forgettable

First off, I'm a big fan of Ma Dong Seok's movies, but I also am not crazy about the horror genre.
This being said, I gave this a 7/10.

The movie suffers from the fact that the prequel is hard to come by. "Holy Night: The Zero" is a web toon that lays the foundation for this movies story and without it, it just feels like there is something missing. We don't really know the backstory and the why for several of the subplots.

Don Lee and his typical "knock'em out", "I'm invincible" charm was to me the highlight of this movie.
Gyeong Su Jin's character came off as annoying, but not because of bad acting, because of how the role was written. One minute she's so tough that she trys tondo everything on her own, and the next minute, she's so scared that she cannot do the easiest thing.

The story of this film was OK and the production was done well, but that's not enough to save this movie. I feel my 7/10 is being generous.

A bit too linear , like a one ep drama rather than a movie
It is always fun to see madongsuk one punch everyone especially demons

But it barely had any substance and as mom said “all that just for one demon and one possessed girl?”
I didn’t like how they’d show the present then conveniently have a backstory ready
And the ending felt too opened ended, I’d have wished they kept madongsuk instead of making it cartoon, and also zero quotations were answered

The house also looked like the ghost one from the great escape with the face in the wall, tbh that was more scary

They had this whole cult of demons, that targeted the dr and her sis
And yosup, or how both madongsuk and Sharon had demon powers, or even stopping the biggest demon
Nothing was answered
