+
+Someone is trying to be the next "Yahoo Serious", but not getting there.
+
+Don't get fooled by the summary: It's not that the secret sect hunt demons in
+the internet; the original plot do a flip that is actually pretty smart: demons
+always took the bodies of humans and, in modern days, decided to live in the
+internet. Why I think it is smart? 'Cause they make a pretty good case for
+seeing so much hate online these days.
+
+But while the initial setting seems pretty good, you can see that it is an
+independent movie when things get shorted in some places. The movie tries to
+make some technobabble of demon hunting, special gear and such, with the lack
+of funding it just looks like some silly costumes.
+
+Still, it is quite fun in some parts, and the goofy style -- which the actors
+also seem to grasp and act on it -- make a somewhat nice comedy.
