Don't Kill It

In this Southern set supernatural thriller, a veteran demon hunter named Jebediah Woodley teams up with a cautious FBI agent to track a malevolent force that has taken root in Mississippi. The two unlikely partners collide with a rising pattern of possession, biblical sigils, and escalating violence as they trace a trail of victims across rural towns. The hunter's practical experience clashes with the agent's procedural approach, forcing them to weigh faith against evidence while a disquieting presence threads through every lead. As the danger sharpens, they realize the threat isn't just supernatural but personal, testing loyalties and resolve. Their alliance strains as a ritual shatters a town and hints at a broader conspiracy. The stakes rise with each nightfall.

Directed by Mike Mendez, Dont Kill It comes from an original screenplay by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen. The 2016 fantasy horror action film blends practical effects with a Southern setting that leans into old school creature thrills.

Reception leaned toward mixed reviews, with fans praising Dolph Lundgren's presence and the film's practical creature work, while some critics found the pacing uneven. The story probes faith under pressure, the seduction of occult power, the toll of obsession, and the personal cost of confronting a malignant force.
