Viewing Notes

Didn’t realize this was a sequel since its listed title is Agency of Vengeance: Dark Rising. Pretty silly stuff that clearly is either a mashup of the TV series or just a standalone movie based on the series. Of course this is not good but totally the kind of thing I’d watch. Need to see the first movie to get the mythology and characters sorted. No idea who or what Summer is supposed to be outside of being a superhuman non-human living and working with the demon hunters. Guessed this was a Canadian production and was correct.
