Plot Summary
A mysterious drifter known as Brayker (William Sadler) possesses the last of seven ancient keys that hold the power to stop the forces of darkness and protect all humanity from ultimate evil. But the human race is safe only so long as Brayker can evade the demonic Collector (Billy Zane) who has gathered the other six keys. In his obsessive quest for the key, the Collector rallies an army of ghastly cadavers against Brayker and the inhabitants of a run-down hotel. Armed with automatic weapons, sacred blood and sadistic humor, Brayker and the strong-willed Jeryline (Jada Pinkett-Smith) must lead the other guests in a gruesome battle against the Collector and his evil horde of ghouls. Infested with a talented cast, thrilling special effects and the Crypt Keeper's deadpan delights, Demon Knight delivers diabolical fun and a body of frights.
Customer Reviews
Listen to your friend, Billy Zane!
Just look at the cast on this bad boy. Seriously. You can't go wrong with a cast stacked like this. Saw this for the first time years ago in the theater, and have watched it several times since. I never tire of it. The soundtrack is classic horror too: Lots of metal. A must see.
Another Last Stand...
There's nothing spectacular about this movie (although the retake on the true nature of the Crucifiction is fun) but it just... works. I don't know why, exactly, it just does. Horrific without being sickening, philosophical without being preachy. And of course both Billy Zane and William Sadler are perfect casting.
Vastly superior to the second "Tales from the Crypt" movie, "Bordello of Blood," although the latter has a much higher boobie count and is somewhat better known because it stars Dennis Miller. If you saw that one on Skinemax or something and are dubious about this one as a consequence, put it from your mind.
"I'm just an old man... who's running out of time."
Classic
I watched this movie over and over when I was younger. It's still one of my favorite films to this day. Billy Zane was awesome and loved Jada!
