Holy Night: Demon Hunters movie review – Ma Dong-seok in tiring Korean action horror

2/5 stars Advertisement Supernatural thriller Holy Night: Demon Hunters might better have been titled 'Ma Dong-seok: Demon Puncher'. This lowbrow exercise in low-rent exorcism offers little more than the hulking Korean superstar, also known as Don Lee, throwing down against an assortment of sketchily drawn spirits. Produced and co-written by Ma together with first-time director Lim Dae-hee, the film is the latest, and certainly weakest, in a string of recent Korean horror titles that delve into the dark realm of demonic possession. While a smattering of intriguing ideas are brought to the altar, they are immediately abandoned in a final product that pales next to the likes of box office hit Exhuma , or even the underwhelming Dark Nuns Kang Bow (Ma) runs the detective-agency-style outfit 'Holy Night', together with exorcist Sharon (Seohyun) and rookie/cameraman Kim Gun (Lee David), which specialises in bizarre and otherworldly cases that the police cannot solve.
