This is dangerous for impressionable young people who will gravitate to such a movie with likable and attractive characters that are doing good deeds in killing demons. However, these benevolent demon killers have inherited their power from their “Christian” forefathers who summoned an angel and drank his blood to attain superhuman abilities to see and kill demons. A pentagram and other satanic and occult practices are depicted throughout the movie. Some of these practices are done for evil, and some are done with “good” intentions. It’s all mixed together with good and evil blurring together.
Because of this evil worldview, extremely strong caution is advised.
