India-Taiwan Genre Mashup ‘Demon Hunters’ Heads to JioHotstar and Prime Video This May

International genre collaborations continue to expand in ambitious ways, and Demon Hunters may be one of the more unique cross-cultural blends arriving this year.

The India-Taiwan action-horror-comedy is officially set to stream across the Indian subcontinent beginning May 15, launching simultaneously on JioHotstar and Amazon Prime Video following its theatrical release in Taiwan.

Directed by Mei-Juin Chen, Demon Hunters combines supernatural horror, martial arts-inspired action, sci-fi elements, comedy, and Bollywood-style spectacle into one high-energy package. It’s the kind of genre hybrid that shouldn’t work on paper—but that’s exactly what makes it intriguing.

The story follows Tommy, a YouTuber who stages fake exorcisms online for clicks and engagement, until he’s forced into a real supernatural battle. Teaming up with Sanjay—an Indian tech specialist and grandson of a legendary exorcist—the pair find themselves facing a spreading zombie demon possession that threatens to spiral out of control.

Leading the cast is Arjan Bajwa alongside JC Lin, Jack Kao, Harry Chang, and Regina Lei.

Visually, the film appears to be leaning hard into scale and energy. The production reportedly features more than 700 VFX shots, signaling a much larger technical ambition than audiences might expect from a regional genre crossover. There’s also a notable musical component, including the Bollywood-inspired track “Dadaji Ka Jadoo,” distributed by Sony Music Taiwan.

The film is produced by Light House Productions and Kleos Entertainment Group, with support from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture. Behind the scenes, the production also pulled talent connected to Jackie Chan’s longtime stunt and cinematography teams, further emphasizing the project’s action-heavy ambitions.

From a distribution standpoint, the rollout is also notable. JioHotstar will offer the film in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, while Prime Video expands accessibility further with Mandarin and English-language options alongside the regional dubs.

That multilingual approach reflects exactly what Demon Hunters appears designed to be: a globally minded genre film rooted in regional identity rather than stripped of it.

Producer Gayathiri Guliani described the project as an effort to build “globally resonant IP from Asia,” while Light House Productions’ Cindy Shyu emphasized the creative exchange between India and Taiwan as central to the film’s identity.

And honestly, that’s where Demon Hunters may stand out the most. It’s not trying to flatten its influences into one homogenized product. It’s embracing the chaos—throwing horror, martial arts, comedy, exorcism lore, internet culture, and cross-cultural storytelling into the same blender and seeing what survives.

For genre fans looking for something outside the standard studio formula, that alone makes this one worth keeping an eye on.
