Making of Devil Hunter
The movie was available in the UK as a pre-cert (and now very rare) vhs before being banned and placed on the list of official video nasties.
The demon’s bug-eyes were created with ping-pong balls that had tiny holes poked in them to allow the actor to see.
This movie is often confused with Jess Franco’s l movie from the same year, White Cannibal Queen (1980).
Writer Julián Esteban came up with the idea for this film.
Our view on Devil Hunter
Director Jesus Franco is a legend in the exploitation film field and although sometimes this film is boring too long and laughable. It still deserves a watch with all the gore and nudity. Exploitflix watchlist.
