Synopsis

Review Also known as 'Supernatural Beast City' this is a demonic thriller concerning the imminent renewal of a non-aggression treaty between the human world and the realm of the demons. The Black Guards, who are undercover operatives from both sides, try to hold the peace against the actions of demonic terrorists and make sure that psychic expert Dr Malyart lives long enough to make the signing. Taki, a Black Guard, forms a partnership with Mackie, a female Black Guard from the Darkside.
The plot is fairly lively and contains the expected quota of heart-thumping demonic attacks, and some startling erotic scenes. The women from the Darkside are supposed by Earthside men to have exquisite erotic powers. Altogether, this is a very good-looking and stylish movie. The music soundtrack is quite pleasant though the dubbed dialogue sounds a little stilted and mid-Atlantic. The character of the priapic 200 year old Dr Malyart, the good guys' psychic expert, affords some comic relief.
