There are seven keys, containing the blood of Christ, capable of awakening the forces of Evil. A mysterious individual already owns six, and if he obtains the last one, humanity will risk extinction; but a man named Brayker sets out to find the last seal to prevent the worst… First feature film produced for the "Tales from the Crypt" series (better known in Italy as "Tales from the Old Nursery"): it is a modest horror-fantasy, starring Billy Zane (later made famous worldwide by Cameron's "Titanic," in which he played the role of the odious fiancé), which is at times boring and generally uninvolving. Little suspense and very little fear, and the noteworthy sequences are quite rare. We have seen far too many films like this!
