• I enjoyed it.

  It wasn't perfect, by any means, and Dolph Lundgren carries this film, but, I was kept entertained. It was almost like ASH VS EVIL DEAD meets I COME IN PEACE. Sure, it was a little rough around the edges having a demon with extremely limited vocabulary but able to communicate physically which got a little tiresome, but Dolph's struggle to catch it jumping from person-to-person added a comedic effect. Also, the small town ambiance made up for lack of a big budget, sort of like, THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN or THE ZODIAC KILLER. And, it didn't take itself too seriously either.

• Bloody fun!

  As a horror genre fan...I really liked this film. The plot is hard to swallow and the acting by Dolph Lundgren was almost robotic but Anyone who enjoys a good splatter fest will like this film. I gave this film a 7 just for the bloody good special effects alone. Dolphs Texas swag left me saying...What in tarnation? But in a good way. I recommend this to fans of the horror/splatter genre.

  It been such a long time since i enjoy a good Dolph Lundgren movie that not staring him as a one man army but instead a sleazy demon hunter in this movie Don't Kill It.For a B-movie this is the best example you could get with a horrible script full of plot holes and corny dialogues,a ton of bloody gory action screen enough to satisfied any horror fan out there.Beside all that the rest of the cast also did a fantastic job when they introduce many interesting and wacky characters with the highlight is the on-screen charm of Dolph Lundgren and Kristina Klebe.The movie is not mean to be taken seriously so just go to see it with a open mind

  This should be on a double bill with Devil's Candy for some sort of "demonic letdowns" movie night. Just like with that film, a harsher rating is deserved here because they started out with some great elements but ultimately failed to deliver the goods. Demons? Check. Lots of senseless, demon-induced violence? Check. Simple but effective premise? Check. Dolph Lundgren - aka the most underrated actor of our time - as the demon-hunter?!! ...and they STILL managed to ruin it. I guess you have to know how to actually juggle all these hot coals if you are gonna make something entertaining out of them. In cleverer hands, the kill-premise would have been spun out to its full inventiveness (e.g. what happens if multiple parties are responsible for a death, for instance if two people hold the gun and pull the trigger at the same time, or if someone is eaten alive by ants). Here, we just get exasperated Dolph dealing with stupid authorities and townspeople (led by an out-of-place pastor), trapped between one improbable copout plot move-along and the next. There's also a female FBI agent co-lead, who is mediocre in every sense of the word; she helps bring this pointless little venture to its fizzly non-climax. As with most demon horror, the whole point is to NOT let the demon/antichrist/wizard/evil scientist open up an evil gateway to a dimension of pain and terror...but we all know they are gonna get tantalizingly close, and we're gonna see some great climactic demon gate SFX before the good guys pull the plug on the dimensional resonator or upset the blood rune arrangement or whathaveyou. And yeah, they do the demon gate thing, but it has got to be one of the WEAKEST demon gate climaxes in the genre. Instead, it goes for some 'emotional drama' BS angle and fails on every level. My advice to the filmmakers is to study the classics. If you mention a demon gate, then you better spend like half of your budget making those last 5-10 minutes of the film literally the coolest part of the film. Otherwise you get an F like these idiots.

  If you're watching this movie for a serious, thoughtful, deep flick, then you will be disappointed. This movie is just a simple, gory comedy, to put it succinctly. Sure the acting is cheesy and it may be a little low budget, but as another reviewer said, think of it like a newer evil dead. Fun times.
