Our take
Holy Night: Demon Hunters is a Korean action-horror about a trio battling demon worshippers in Seoul. Expect intense supernatural scares, demonic possession, and bloody action including dead children shown after an attack. One scene shows a character stabbing her own cheeks. Cult themes and jump scares run throughout. Best for older teens who handle horror violence; not for sensitive viewers
Uplifting themes
Hunters protect civilians and push back against evil forces The Holy Night team risks themselves to save others from cult violence
