Demon Hunter just came out on DVD from Anchor Bay and today I have a couple clips from the film for you to check out.  AB also sent along a couple of copies for us to giveaway, more or that in a moment.  Demon Hunter stars Sean Patrick Flannery and Billy Drago and come to us from Stephen J. Cannell who is a prolific TV wrtier and producer.  You may have heard of a few of his TV shows.  Here is the press release for the project:

From prolific producer Stephen J. Cannell, the creator of “21 Jump Street,” “The A-Team,” and “Profit,” comes a startling vision of the struggle between the profane and the sacred – “Demon Hunter!” Starring Sean Patrick Flannery (“Suicide Kings, “Boondocks,” “The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones”), William Bassett (“House of 1000 Corpses”) and Billy Drago (“The Untouchables,” “Masters of Horror” and the upcoming 2006 remake of “The Hills Have Eyes”), “Demon Hunter” enters our world on DVD February 7, 2006 from Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment company. SRP is $14.98 and the DVD boasts enough bonus features that its guaranteed to possess viewers for hours!

The “Demon Hunter” is Jacob “Jake” Greyman (Sean Patrick Flannery), a member of a covert Church-authorized society dedicated to fighting Satanic forces. Greyman searches the urban underworld, slaying the unholy spawns, while burdened with the knowledge that demons walk among us and the Church has given him a license to kill.

When archdemon Asmodeus (Billy Drago) embarks on a plan to impregnate Los Angeles teen prostitutes with his evil seed, Jake teams with an unorthodox novice (Colleen Porch of “Starship Troopers 2”) to rescue mankind from eternal damnation. Yet Jake must first grapple with the demons within if he is to save his own soul…

Produced by IDT Entertainment and Stephen J. Cannell, “Demon Hunter” on DVD comes packed with the following value-added supplements:

Widescreen Presentation, enhanced for 16x9 TVs

Oh, BTW, here is the info on All Souls Day in case you’re not familiar with the film.

The Mexican celebration known as Dia De Los Muertos – “Day of the Dead” – honors both life and death. But what happens when the horrifying history of a town defiles both? What happens when the dead cannot leave the living alone? On January 17, 2006 Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment company, reveals the ominous answer with the DVD release of All Souls Day: Dia De Los Muertos, available for the suggested retail price of $19.98.  

Horror fans will find much to feast on, as the All Souls Day DVD presents the uncut version of the film, with terrifying never before-seen footage, in a 16x9 widescreen (1.85) transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, as well as a festival worth of insightful special features.

Co-produced by New Arc Entertainment, the film production arm of IDT Entertainment, and Mindfire Entertainment, through their CFQ Films division, All Souls Day was written by Mark Altman (House of the Dead) and co-produced by Altman and Mark Gottwald (The Specials).  Both New Arc and Mindfire are film production companies which specialize in the supernatural/thriller/action genre.  

All Souls Day stars Ellie Cornell (Halloween 5), Danny Trejo (The Devil’s Rejects, Spy Kids), Laura Harring (The Punisher, Mulholland Drive), Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, I  Still Know What You Did Last Summer), David Keith (Daredevil), Marisa Ramirez (“General Hospital”), Travis Wester (Eurotrip), Nichole Hiltz (Spanglish), Laz Alonso (Jarhead) and Femmes Fatales magazine covergirl Mircea Munroe (Cellular).  Directed by Jeremy Kasten (The Attic Expeditions) and with special effects from Almost Human (“Angel”, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), it is a terrifying journey into a world of shocking ceremonies and undead denizens!

In the film, a group of hard-partying students from the OC are stranded in the remote Mexican village of Santa Bonita where a nightmare has lied buried for over a century. There they discover an innkeeper with a dark secret, a sheriff with a shocking past and a holiday that demands the most horrific sacrifice of all. Now the ceremony can commence. The hordes of the undead have been unleashed. And on this day, an unstoppable feast of human flesh has begun!

All Souls Day has already garnered significant buzz among genre and non-genre fans alike, screening as 2005 “Official Selections” of the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, UT and the San Francisco Indie Fest “Another Hole in the Head” Festival.

The All Souls Day DVD includes an extensive list of special features:
