Dario gets kicked out of his home by his girlfriend. Now homeless, he rents a hotel. The hotel manager (Polo) ends up being a big fan of Dario's previous work, which was a manager in a wrestling federation. Dario tells Polo his problem and Polo helps him out with a story. Polo shows him a place where demons go. The get caught and sent to hell, where Bob Beasley (a powerful devil, or satan, they never say) makes Dario an offer he can't refuse. He must get rid of the Cardinal, Gian Carlo Ponti. If he doesn't, he'll turn into a demon and slowly rot away.
After fulfilling his end of the deal, Dario continues to be turned into a demon. He seeks out his brother (A-Man) for help. A-Man and some of his gothic pals send Dario back to hell so he can get settle a score with Beasley. A higher power in the heavens sees that Dario needs some help and sends secret agent Marion Tango to help. After they sneak into Beasley's palace and fight off several of demons, they come across Polo. It seems as if he was sent to hell too, but as a Scottish warrior that helps the two clean house in search for Beasley.
On the box it's categorized as a horror, action, conspiracy, comedy. With all that shoved into a story such as this, you can't expect much more than a goofy comedy. Such as the horribly costumed demons. They are dressed up in sewn together rags with halloween masks. Not something that looks like masks, but costume designer had to go to Walmart during that season, bought them out of evil looking masks, and threw them in the movie. There was even some halloween masked demons dressed in samurai outfits with swords. The special effects are good in an odd way. The CGI used for some of the scenes doesn't match at all, but managed to fit right in with the movie.
One thing pestered me about this movie, and that would be A-Man. His character was a fashion model. He over acted his role so much with his very high pitched voice. It just got so bad that I was tempted to fast forward the parts whenever he showed up. But sadly, he had a few things to do with the movie, so it had to be suffered through. The comedy thrown into it all had gotten some laughs out of me. It wasn't scary or violent in anyway and still managed to fit somewhere in the horror category.
Final Conclusion: 6/10
