I was expecting to like this a lot more than I did, but there's barely enough to make a short film, and what's there is derivative of other things - Constantine working towards breaking out *immediately* made me think of the "Heaven Sent"/"Hell Bent" episodes of "Doctor Who," and it's hardly the first time Constantine has played games with selling his soul. The repeating slaughter and friends becoming demons gets annoying by the third time around and fast-forward fodder by the twentieth. The revelation that the Spectre didn't do this - he had a benign fate planned, in a way - and it's John himself is...sigh. John's ultimate fate is left unclear, but I imagine John's terror is over being reborn into a new cycle of life where he'll pretty much experience the horror and misery yet again.
Speaking of derivative, the score composer probably owes John Carpenter royalties. Those sounds and arpeggios and portentous chords were awfully familiar.

Fell flat, plus derivative in the extreme

Just looking for some escapism. I love the John Constantine character, so I was excited to see that there was some new material. Only to end up disappointed with a mediocre short, and then three other stories behind it. That had nothing to do with Johnny boy. Smh.
