I first saw this in the mid 90s on a vhs. Revisited it yesterday. The film has some very known faces. It is about a 'chosen' man (William Sadler) who has stopped aging n is on the run for 90 years. He possesses an artefact n a demon (Billy Zane) wants to get hold of that artefact without touching it. Sadler takes refuge in a hotel with a bunch of characters we dont care for while the demons r trying to get inside. The film has lots of gore, some nudity but it is a bit slow n the tension is lacking. The effects r cool though. Watch out for the girl's face transformation scene.

...because Demon Knight delivers as a theatrical release. Billy Zane gives an incredible performance, but so does practically everyone in this here. There seem to be few good supernatural horror movies out there in this, the mid-late 90's, but Demon Knight is one of the best. It presents an interesting mythology and setup, and you're left to wonder who will get out , and what will be left of them. There's some nice misleading, as we're not really sure what Zane's character's role is in the proceedings until...well , let's say he gives the Sheriff a hand. The framing device of Tales from the Crypt itself is mildly annoying, but it's pretty much gone and over with.

Demon Knights-Jada Pinkett, William Sadler, Billy Zane, Thomas Haden Church, Dick Miller, CCH Pounder, Brenda Bakke, Gary Farmer, Charles Fleischer and John Kassir(voice).This film is great. It opens and ends with the Cryptkeeper who is very amusing as always, but that's nothing. The film itself is great. Billy Zane is a demon who is trying to get his key back from William Sadler, who lives forever as long as he has that key, which stops hell from coming to Earth. Sadler meets Dick Miller who shows him a hotel, that ends where everyone is trapped in because of Zane and friends, but Zane cannot get in. He seduces the people with the thing they want the most (respect, naked women, beer etc.) It's great and a good use of 82 minutes of your life.4/5 stars. rated R for some gory violence, brief language and two scenes of topless women.
