Reviews for Tales from the Crypt - Demon Knight
Good-humored gore, ably directed by Ernest Dickerson.

Pic is neither funny enough nor scary enough to be fully satisfying as either a shocker or a spoof.

Top CriticThe first in a series, but standards will need to impove if it's to survive.

Billy Zane's finest hour. Yeah, I know, that's depressing.

Between scenes of splattering gore in which severed heads literally roll across the floor, the movie has a good time spoofing itself and a gallery of mostly sleazy characters who confront a crew of blood-thirsty demons.

A big, dumb Night of the Living Dead rip-off with demons that convince you that Pumpkinhead must have reproduced. Fun junk.

Next time out, let's hope it involves a story that can stand on its own, without having to be propped up by the Crypt Keeper's silly patter.

Top CriticThe problem here is clearly the script, with very little that is original and amusing.
01/01/00
