85 Hollywood did Ernest Dickerson dirty, because anyone who directed a film like Demon Knight should be given blank checks for the rest of their life. Just a fact. What a stupendous gonzo-horror achievement. Bursting with goofy mythology, stunning creature design, and a…

sarah squirmAug 17, 2019A lean, mean, EC comics meets Evil Dead II siege narrative mashup loaded with amazing effects, a banger of a soundtrack, and a perfect cast of character actors doing some of their best work—a mid decade masterpiece filled with oozing green goo, faces punched in, the perfect…

Billy Zane shoots fire out of his crotch in this
Bryan Espitia 🎄Mar 29, 2018I started this on Tuesday and then the internet started acting drunk so I gave up and went to bed and didn’t have a chance to finish it until tonight, but I have seen this so many times it didn’t ruin anything for me. People just love to slam the 90’s when it comes to…

a lot of great horror films come from unlikely sources and Ernest Dickerson following up Juice and Surviving the Game with his first horror film, a gloriously gruesome special effects show set in a decrepit house, is a fitting marriage of old school pulp conventions and…
Justin LaLibertyApr 15, 2025I’m a big fan of anthology shows in general and tales from the crypt I’ve never watched much of I’ve seen the general episode here and there but not delved properly in. With this film though I may have to watch some more since this film is not half bad it’s incredible camp…

- Arsal likedTales from the Crypt: Demon Knight
A solid horror-action flick with great effects and a fun script. Zane steals every scene, and the vibe is pure Tales from the Crypt.
Logan Boline lovedTales from the Crypt: Demon KnightOne of my favorite movies. Immediately fun and intriguing opening, but it does become predictable towards the end. However, Billy Zane gives his absolute everything for this film.
Marcus likedTales from the Crypt: Demon KnightSo 90’s. Up and coming cast, random nudity and a fairly predictable horror plot. Worth the cheesy watch

Metacritic
What Tales From the Crypt does best is sustain a look and tone that bring a comic-book's broad strokes into the realm of a live-action movie without seeming too mannered or arty. The film's gooey monsters with their electric green eyes and ferocious voracity are among the more convincing zombie demons to be found in a recent horror film.
Stephen Holden
The New York Times
Mix Night of the Living Dead with Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movies, then add a hefty dose of Beavis and Butt-Head-style silliness, and you have Tales From the Crypt Presents Demon Knight, a fang-in-cheek horror thriller that likely will please fans and turn off non-devotees.
