Every now and then a movie opens and closes, appearing to be a flash in the cinematic firmament, or maybe more a fizzle, only to suddenly find a resurrection and afterlife that only grows and grows.
Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight, directed by incredible cinematographer turned director Ernest Dickerson (Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever, Malcom X, She's Gotta Have It, is a 90's horror picture that has now firmly earned cult hit status.
Maybe what audiences didn't realize when the picture was released was just how much fun they were supposed to have. Billy Zane, always reliable for a deliciously watchable performance, plays "The Collector" a demon on the hunt for an artifact now in the possession of a drifter played by another automatic character performer, William Sadler.
When the Drifter escapes a run in with the Collector and holes up in a church turned boarding house (yes, you read that right) populated by prostitutes, criminals, and outcasts, you best be believing the Collector will find a way in with his demon hordes.
A fun over the top riff on Night of the Living Dead among other classic horror movies, Demon Knight works to be both one of the last great practical effects horror movies in the 80's Carpenter mold as well as a hilarious over the top gross out laugh fest in line with the HBO Tales from the Crypt series.
So come join us for a horror movie that wants you to have your cake and eat it too and vomit it up in buckets of slime. On 35mm!
Best always,
Craig Hammill
