“All hail a cult classic … One of the best horror-comedies of the 1990s!” –Uproxx

Based on the legendary HBO horror series Tales from the Crypt, DEMON KNIGHT tells the story of a drifter named Frank Brayker (William Sadler), who possesses a key that contains the blood of Christ and can ward off evil. He is pursued by a demonic collector (Billy Zane), who wants the key to unleash chaos in the universe. Brayker takes refuge in a boarding house, where he and the other residents have to survive the night against the collector and his army of demons. The film is a mix of action, humor, and gore, and features a cameo by (who else!) the Crypt Keeper. The tension runs high and the blood runs EC Comics red in Tales From The Crypt’s first feature Demon Knight. Mixing scares, humor, down and dirty gore, and a nifty style thanks to director Ernest R. Dickerson, this film succeeds in all the places it should. William Sadler and Jada Pinkett lead a great bunch of character actors through each and every turn in this romp — though it’s Billy Zane who really owns this movie! His devilish grin ends up stealing every scene as the ultimate charming minion of the underworld. Zane brings it all to the table in this one, creating one of the funniest and most wicked villains seen in years. With exceptional Pumpkinhead-esque demon FX to back him up, and appropriately groan-inducing Crypt Keeper scenes bookending the film, Tales From The Crypt hit a home run on the fun scale with DEMON KNIGHT!

Demon Knight plays as part of Arkadin’s Ernest R. Dickerson double feature with the equally chilling and hilarious BONES. Tickets are $9 each or just $15 for the double feature.

This film screens as part of Arkadin’s month long tribute to the best of Black genre filmmaking!
