Rescued from an unknown realm, a demon, raised as a monster-hunting government agent, faces his destiny and the destruction of the world.

A rather good movie, because it features a relatable and mortal character. The time of its release was not saturated with this genre, so it was gave a strong impression. Even re-watching it was entertaining. I think this will hold up very well over time.

In the coldest regions of space, the monstrous
entities Ogdru Jahad -- The Seven Gods of Chaos --
slumber in their crystal prison, waiting to
reclaim Earth...and burn the heavens.

  Give it all you've got, to fight to the top.
  so we can know your story.
