Why it’s HorroRated
Demon Knight knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers it well. Billy Zane is having the time of his life as the Collector, and the film has a gonzo energy that fits the Tales from the Crypt brand. The practical demon effects are solid and the siege structure keeps things moving. Loud, bloody, and fun. A better film than it gets credit for.
Synopsis
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.
