Plots(1)
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 humour, 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. (Shock Entertainment)

A full-length film shot in the style of the TV series Tales from the Crypt, which probably won't please those viewers who expect real fear from horror movies, because in terms of story and execution, Demon Knight simply cannot be taken seriously. On the other hand, it is evident that this is exactly the goal of the filmmakers, that it is a kind of tribute to cheap B-movie productions and that the actors and the whole crew probably had a good time during shooting. Practically everyone involved is overacting, intentionally or not, and surprisingly, it fits well in this spectacle. When watching Demon Knight, one cannot have high expectations. It is not a great film, but rather a relaxing affair for late evenings. Overall impression: 50%.
