Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight

1995 · 1h 33m · Horror, Comedy, Thriller

IMDb 6.7 Metacritic 48 RT 45%

Watch it tonight if you want campy horror-comedy fun with genuine style—this 1995 cult classic is a gloriously over-the-top ride with Billy Zane chewing scenery as a deliciously theatrical demon, practical effects that still hold up, and the perfect blend of scares and laughs for a Friday night. Skip it only if you need Oscar-bait drama instead of B-movie mayhem.

Plot

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.
