TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT

1995 • US HMDB
January 13, 1995

Ex-soldier Frank Brayker is the guardian of an ancient key that can unlock tremendous evil; the sinister Collector is a demon who wants the key so he can initiate the apocalypse. On the run from wicked mercenaries for almost 90 years, Brayker finally stops in at a boarding house in New Mexico where — with the help of its residents — he plans to face off against the Collector and his band of ghouls, preventing them from ever seizing the key.

Marco Castellini •
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!

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaah booooyyyyyyy.

I have very fond memories of Demon Knight from the days of the active horror community on Tumblr. I don't know if this is "good", but must a movie be "good"? Can we not simply have BIlly Zane wearing sunglasses in the dark, commanding his squad of practical effect demon puppets, and call it a day?

Sidenote: I know this is a Tales from the Crypt movie, but I would happily have given up the Cryptkeeper bookends for 5 more minutes of the actually story, silly as it is.

Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
