Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight Audience Reviews n4v4p

Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Jeremy Killgore This movie is great. A shocker, Billy Zane had a few good movies. This is one of them. The story, the effects, the back story, character interaction all work. I would agree. Take a few moments of your life to sit back and enjoy a great horror film. I think find something in the film that you will enjoy.
SnoopyStyle The Crypt Keeper has gone Hollywood and presents this movie Demon Knight. Brayker (William Sadler) is hunted by The Collector (Billy Zane). He barely escapes to the small town of Wormwood, New Mexico where he finds shelter in the church turned boarding house. The Collector convinces the sheriff to arrest Brayker and almost steals Brayker's artifact with the blood of Christ. The Collector reveals his true identity as a demon. He needs the artifact which is the last key to throw the universe into chaos. Brayker and the rest of the inhabitants must battle demons unleashed by the Collector.This is actually a good cast filled with some impressive actors. William Sadler is always good and Billy Zane is still a great villain at that point of his career. Jada Pinkett Smith, Thomas Haden Church and CCH Pounder fill out a solid cast. The production value is limited and this is more of a direct-to-DVD level. The special effects are not the best. Even the set is inferior. However it is still a functional horror.
gwnightscream Billy Zane, William Sadler, Jada Pinkett, Thomas Haden Church, Charles Fleischer, CCH Pounder, Brenda Bakke and Dick Miller star in this 1995 horror film based on the TV series and horror comics. This begins with the infamous, Crypt Keeper (Voiced by John Kassir) directing a cheesy horror film before presenting this tale. It takes place in Wormwood, New Mexico and Sadler (Die Hard 2) plays drifter, Brayker who is chased by a collector (Zane) searching for an ancient key he possesses. Brayker is able to get away from him for a short while and comes to a run-down motel where the residents are about to be trapped in a nightmare. Soon, a battle of good and evil occurs when the collector comes revealing himself as a demon and Brayker is revealed to be a Knight fighting against the forces of evil. Pinkett (Menace to Society) plays Jeryline, Fleischer (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) plays square postman, Wally, Bakke (Hot Shots! Part Deux) plays prostitute, Cordelia who is also Wally's love-interest, Church (Spider-Man 3) plays her rotten boyfriend, Roach, Pounder (End Of Days) plays Irene, the owner of the motel and Miller (Gremlins) plays drunk, Willy. This is a great horror flick with a good cast, especially Zane and Sadler, good score and grotesque make-up effects. I recommend this to any horror fan.
Michael I saw this movie for the first time around 13 years ago, I was just a kid. Back in the day me and my dad went to Videoland every 2 weeks or so and rented 10 flicks at a time for a week, VHS off course. For my age ( around 10 ) I was interested in very different movies then my classmates or friends. I always picked out action, ninja and horror movies, like Commando, Gremlins, Highway to Hell etc. This time I picked Demon Knight, as well as 9 other movies which off course I can't . But the funny thing is, I never watched a single one of them. Yes people, for 7 days straight I was sucked into Demon Knight. I was so impressed by this movie back then, that I watched it like 15 times in 1 week. For me this movie is a cult classic and is one of my favorite movies of all time. I grew older, so I know a "good" movie is something like Godfather or the Dark Knight ( generally speaking ) but the memories from this movie from when I was a kid are still engraved into my mind and I can watch it anytime with full enjoyment. Sorry for the small back story but I really wanted to try and tell why I love this freaking movie.This movie starts off with a drifter named Brayker ( William Sadler ) trying to get away from a cowboy-like dude called The Collector, which is a role meant to be played by Billy Zane. This guy just nails it, and is definitely the star in this movie. After a car crash with a big bang, Sadler makes a run for an old church converted into a bar. This will be set piece for the whole movie. We find out that Sadler has a mysterious Relic and Zane is a demon working as a collector trying to get the relic back to his masters. Because before the earth was created it was ruled by demons, and they had 7 keys to keep the planet in darkness. Then god came along and divided the keys and drove off the demons. The key Sadler holds is the last one they need to bring back eternal darkness. I know it sounds cheesy and it is, but it doesn't really matter. Inside the key is blood, which can be used to seal doors and windows to create a blood barricade so the demons can't enter, this idea always fascinated me and I playing as a kid with colored water to replicate this tool.This movie has it all. 8 People stuck in a bar getting attacked by the demons of darkness. You got your typical asshole Roach, the friendly old uncle Willy, local prostitute Cordelia, nerdy type guy Wally, big momma Irene and the young Jada Pinkett Smith adding some drama to this movie. But Billy Zane is king as the collector, an evil character with a laid back style and lots of twisted humor. After the first dull 15 minutes, sh!t will hit the fan when Zane just punches right through a police officer's head, Classic ! And it gets better, we even see an arm getting ripped off, brilliant. Zane brings out some demon sidekicks, really ugly looking bastards, but they look cool, to get into the hotel and attack. The lame thing is, that you need to shoot 'em in the eyes to kill them, I've seen that before. What I also liked about this flick was how Zane tries to bribe everyone in change for their souls. Uncle Willy for example got into a dream-like scene where he was surrounded by dozens of women, topless ! Awe-some movie people. Zane as star, and Sadler respectively second playing a believable character on the run for his life and that off the entire world. We see fists through face punches, arms getting ripped off, explosions, blood, demons, boobies. This is a classic !
