Ex-soldier Frank Brayker (William Sadler) is the guardian of an ancient key that can unlock tremendous evil; the sinister but charming Collector (Billy Zane) 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 quirky residents -- he plans to face off against the Collector and his band of ghouls, preventing them from ever seizing the key.

Quentin Curtis Independent (UK) Good horror films are thin on the ground right now; this one will do nicely. Nov 17, 2017 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Pic is neither funny enough nor scary enough to be fully satisfying as either a shocker or a spoof. May 19, 2008 Full Review Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying It is a campy homage that doesn’t promise any thought-provoking resonance but will provide some easy thrills and stellar kills. Demon Knight knows what it is and doesn’t hide from it. Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand It’s a seedy 'Grand Hotel' by way of 'The Exorcist' as a siege thriller, cooked up with plenty of gore and a smattering of sex, and served with dry wit. Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh A delightful blend of humor and horror that sees a cast all trying to out-act one another and somehow all of them coming out on top. Rated: 4/5 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Antoine T Une histoire correcte, a mi chemin entre Evil Dead et le Prince des Ténèbres. Billy Zane y est dantesque. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Sharell B Tales From The Crypt gives a unique take on demon hunting by giving more world building than most tv shows do in an entire season. This movie would do well as a remake or a tv show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Alex O So much wacky fun. Terrific practical effects. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Odell C I thought the creatures were great in this one , I liked the main guy in this one and his backstory solid watch for the HBO series coming with a movie . Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Dan K This has flown under the radar as the best film of the 90s aside from Pulp Fiction. Action, detective story black comedy, buddy comedy, family drama! A movie that gets better with each viewing. Career bests for Willis, Wayans and screenwriter Black whose dialogue is to the point brilliant start to finish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Lance U Loved Demon Knight! Great 90's horror fun! A- Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
