A group of scheming con men must assume the role of reluctant saviors after convincing the citizens of a small town that they're about to be attacked by monsters and subsequently awakening a horde of powerful demons. It was supposed to be the perfect scam: all the con men had to do was convince the gullible residents of Nilbog that the monsters are coming, and then convince the country folk to hire them to protect the small town. Unfortunately for everyone involved, a group of slumbering demigods are about to be awoken, and they're none too happy at having been bottled up in a forgotten realm for centuries. Now, as the rampaging demons begin tearing apart the countryside by raping and slaughtering anyone unfortunate enough to wander into their path of destruction, the men who once lived to con must now prove that just because they're shady doesn't mean they can't shine. It's going to be a bloody battle no doubt, but with a little luck these swindlers will prove they have what it takes to live up to their original promise. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The girls aren't alone in their battle against the dreaded demon Malphaedor, however, and as the four powerful Shadow Hunters prepare to send the murderous hell-spawn back to the his underworld prison, there may be hope for the world after all if the do-gooder demon fighters can stop bickering long enough to focus on the task at hand. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In this noirish crime thriller, deeply troubled screenwriter/director Elliot Callahan, who made a brilliant debut with the innovative thriller "Criminal Intent," finds himself tormented with writers block that prevents him from starting on his eagerly awaited sophomore film. His studio is about to sue him for missing several key deadlines and someone else has accused Callahan of stealing the script for "Intent" from a popular Hong Kong action film. In order to find the respite he needs to write again, Callahan slips off to Nantucket island. There he encounters a beautiful Realtor who looks to him for much needed excitement. He also hooks up with his former writing crony Tim and his sculptor girlfriend Julia. Finally Callahan encounters the mysterious Henry, an aspiring screenwriter who is trying to sell his own chilling and realistic script about a serial killer. Callahan reads it and finds it so true-to-life that he begins believing that Henry himself is a killer. Wanting to exploit that angle, Callahan endeavors to steal the script for himself. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
