It’s rare when we at the I Hate Critics Podcast 1995 are genuinely surprised by a movie. It’s especially shocking when a 90s horror movie is that surprise. Generally speaking, the horror genre was not in a great place in the early to mid 1990s. Thus, our expectations for the Tales from the Cryptspin-off flick, Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight were exceedingly low. Sure, the cast is chock full of some of the great that-guy/that-girl actors of the 1990s, but that’s no guarantee of quality when you’re dealing with horror in the 90s.
What a delight then to find that Tales from the Crypt Demon Knightembraces a silliness and break neck pace that cover for the low budget and ambitions at play. Demon Knight centers on Frank Brayker (William Sadler), a so-called Demon Knight. Frank has been tasked with protecting a key that can keep demons at bay. The key carries the blood of previous Demon Knight’s all the way back to the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. Frank is being pursued by The Collector (Billy Zane) , a powerful demon who needs the key to rain darkness down upon the world.
