The Movie of the HBO television series Tales from the Crypt, directed by Ernest Dickerson and released in 1995. Demon Knight tells the story of a drifter named Frank Brayker (William Sadler) who arrives in Wormwood, Texas, and seeks refuge in a church-turned-hotel where he meets the no-nonsense landlady Irene (C.C.H. Pounder) and her niece Jeryline (Jada Pinkett Smith), alcoholic Uncle Willy (Dick Miller), prostitute Cordelia (Brenda Bakke) and her abusive boyfriend/pimp Roach (Thomas Haden Church), and fired mailman Wally (Charles Fleischer) who's hopelessly in love with Cordelia.Not long after Brayker's arrival, a handsome and charming gentleman in a trenchcoat and cowboy hat known only as The Collector (Billy Zane) shows up with Sheriff Tupper (John Schuck) and Deputy Bob (Gary Farmer), seeking a key-shaped artifact that he claims Brayker stole from him. The Collector soon reveals that he's actually a demonic Bounty Hunter and quickly lays siege to the hotel, raising up an army of skeletal minions to aid him in getting his dirty hands on the Key and going about tempting some of the hotel's residents with their innermost desires. Brayker reveals to the residents (well, those who survive the demonic onslaught...) that the Key once contained the blood of Jesus Christ and subsequently that of previous guardians of the Key. The Key can ward off evil if it contains blood, but will bring about The End of the World as We Know It if it runs out of blood and is used by the forces of darkness.Not to be confused with Demon Knights. Followed by Bordello of Blood.

The Millstone: Roach, who spends his time insulting Brayker and trying to oust him out of his position as leader, criticizing everything he does while never offering an alternative aside from giving the demons the key, which absolutely no one else is willing to do, and screwing things up with his cowardice and assholery. Immediately after learning that if the key falls into the Collector's hands, the entire universe will be destroyed, Roach steals it from Brayker and hands it to the Collector to save his own ass

Dirty Coward: Roach. During the demons' attack on the hotel, he ventures outside with Cordelia and tries to make it to his truck, only to spot a demon that then comes right at him and Cordelia. What does good ol' Roach do? He pushes Cordelia toward the demon as he hauls ass back into the hotel. It doesn't help that The Collector flat-out says he was counting on Roach to give him the Key to save his own skin.

Abandoned Mine: The occupants of the hotel discover an old mine shaft that abuts the wall of the basement. Despite Brayker's exhortations not to, they break through the wall and attempt to escape through the mine. However, they discover the demons are already in the mine and are attacked and forced to retreat back to the hotel.

Blood Magic: The blood can also be used to create barriers that ward off and even kill demons if they're dumb enough to try passing through. In a twist, using the key and the blood therein are unambiguously holy, as God himself was the one who put the blood in the key to begin with, according to Brayker.

Character Development: Jeryline seems to be a delinquent who'd rather blow off Irene's chores and snap at anyone who asks anything of her. She slowly mellows out as she seems to find a kindred spirit in Brayker. Turns out this is because she's the next Chosen One After Roach leaves her to die and she's saved by Wally, Cordelia starts to stand up to Roach and be more assertive. Unfortunately, it's cruelly cut short when she's possessed shortly after and killed by Brayker.

Dropped a Bridge on Him: In a sense. With all the adult residents the Collector has to charm and seduce them, appealing to their flaws or insecurities, before he can possess them. With the kid Danny, he just takes over him through a comic book. Meaning that... comic books are inherently tools of Satan? More like, just with Uncle Willy who was tempted with Booze and Women, the Collector Tempted Danny with the promise of superpowers and a superhero career. Danny could "Save everybody" if he "Just let me in"

Really 700 Years Old: Being the guardian of the Key means you don't age. Brayker is at least a hundred years old. Since the movie doesn't date itself, the fact that Brayker became immortal during World War I just makes him older and older as the film ages.

Claimed by the Supernatural: As shown in flashback, when Dickerson passed the Key on to Brayker, making Brayker the new Demon Knight, a pattern of seven stars were burned into Brayker's palm, and then rearranged themselves. The same thing happens when Brayker passes the Key and the mantle on to Jeryline.

Cosmic Horror Story: The Key Brayker carries is the last of seven that were scattered across the universe to prevent the forces of evil that existed before the Genesis from taking over. The demons have already successfully taken six of the keys, and as soon as the Collector gets his hands on Brayker's (or it runs out of the holy blood it contains), it won't be just Hell on Earth, the entire universe will fall back into Primordial Chaos, "Just like that".

Foreshadowing
 Demon Knight / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Brayker, on hearing Jeryline was on work release, casually asks what Jeryline was jailed for. He gives a subtle smile when she replies she was a petty thief. All Demon Knights are former thieves. After getting upstairs, the Collector gets hit with an arrow in the eye and only falls over. This lets the audience know in advance that the "shoot for the eyes" tactic alone won't work on him. Earlier in the film, Wally (a postman) demonstrates some Improbable Aiming Skills by nailing some approaching demons with headshots and then eye shots. Later on it's discovered that he had a stash of military-grade weapons and explosives he planned to use to blow up his old workplace, justifying his familiarity with guns. Jeryline spitting in the Collector's face. The second time, with Demon Knight blood, has a far more potent effect. Jeryline being tempted by the Collector with her desire to be a world traveler. She ends up Walking the Earth eternally running from demons.

The End... Or Is It?: The Collector is defeated and killed, but a strange man in a black hat starts following Jeryline, who has taken on the duties of guarding the Key, on her way out of town. However, if one can believe the Crypt Keeper, she survived long enough to have a happy ending.

Neverending Terror: The Legions of Hell are chasing after an ageless Chosen One who carries a holy flask containing the blood of Jesus and previous Chosen Ones. The Chosen One must stay on the run from them, constantly moving and never slowing down too much for an instant or else, they get the flask and unleash Hell on Earth. Also, the Chosen One bears a mark on his/her arm counting down how much time is left until they must make their Last Stand, at which point they must face an onslaught of Demonic Invaders and then pass on the flask to the Sole Survivor, who is the next Chosen One.

Ms. Fanservice: Peggy Trentini in the opening framing segment. Cordelia, Hooker with a Heart of Gold. The two ladies with our horror host in the closing framing segment. The temptation the Collector offers to Uncle Willy is a bar of topless women offering him beer and making sexual innuendos about "enjoying a long, hard one." And for the kicker, some of them were played by porn stars.

Improbable Aiming Skills
 Demon Knight / int_bcd27e37
comment
Improbable Aiming Skills: Since the only thing that destroys demons (other than the holy blood) is a shot in the eyes, Brayker is insanely good at hitting that relatively small target using just about any weapon he gets his hand on. Justified in that he does have the power of God on his side, and he is at least a hundred years old, giving him lots of time to work on his marksmanship. Less so with the postman Wally, who lands a few head-shots on a demon, and when Brayker tells him to aim for the eyes, puts them out with two more perfect shots. Later on it's revealed that Wally has a huge cache of assault weapons stashed in his room (though he hadn't gotten around to finding much ammunition yet), implying that he's put in the footwork in learning how to use them.

Shout-Out: To Tales from the Crypt, of course. The demonic monsters◊ summoned by the Collector look quite similar to Pumpkinhead. The Collector does a Hunter S. Thompson impression when he poses as a mixologist in Uncle Willy's fantasy. In the same scene, the Collector references Casablanca by saying "Here's looking at you, Uncle Willy!" The way Irene and Deputy Bob go out is similar to Vasquez and Gorman's deaths in Aliens (using grenades, a snappy one-liner and holding hands in their last moments to take out pursuing enemies).

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In one of his flashbacks, before receiving the key and learning about the demons, Brayker seems pretty unperturbed that he and Dickerson were set up by German soldiers with glowing eyes and clawed fingers, and that green light shoots out of their eyes when they die. He just talks about them having "lured us into an ambush" as though they were ordinary human enemy soldiers. To be fair, Brayker specifically mentions later on that whenever the Demon Knight has to make their last stand, it requires an exact number of people to be present, being that it's only Dickerson and himself in the flashback, they probably spend all night fighting Demons, meaning he had time to come to terms with it, and everyone else was dead.

The Collector is physically incapable of saying the word "love", which leads to yet another hilarious moment with Billy Zane:

The Power of Blood: The Key was filled with the blood of Jesus Christ (and later guardians of the Key) to prevent the demons from using it. The blood can create barriers and hurt demons.

Gorn: As per usual, there’s plenty of blood and violence. Anyone who gets possessed becomes a showcase of gory Body Horror.

Hate Sink: Roach, Cordelia's abusive boyfriend and an all-around Jerkass and Dirty Coward. He leaves his girlfriend to die, mocks everyone around him, serves as a constant obstacle to Brayker's plans, and gives the Collector the Key he's looking for, knowing he's dooming the world to the apocalypse, just to save his own hide. He didn't even have to be tempted into possession like any of the others. The Collector even tells Roach he was counting on him handing over the Key, and another demon mook nods in agreement. Luckily, he's Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves when the Collector has his demons rip him apart.

Info Dump: Brayker is forced by the hotel residents to explain what's going on. Learning it doesn't make them feel better. Also, when a Demon Knight receives the Key, they get forced fed the memories of every Knight in history.

Jerkass: Roach. While trying to escape the hotel during the demonic attack with Cordelia, he gets spotted by a demon and pushes Cordelia into the coming demon's path while he runs back inside. Not long after, he shows himself to be abusive towards Cordelia and overall rude to others. And he later steals the Key from Brayker and makes a deal with the Collector for safe passage, only to be Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves. Roach is indirectly responsible for Cordelia's possession and death, as his taking her to her room so he can threaten her leaves her isolated and vulnerable to the Collector's attempt to seduce her. He also fires at his demon-possessed boss and destroys the blood-barrier at the mine entry, granting demons access to the inside of the hotel and leaving the survivors trapped on the second floor with only fading hope of lasting til morning. And then there's his attempts to trade the key for his life as mentioned several times on this page. In short, Roach is just as much an antagonist of this story as the Collector is.

comment
A Handful for an Eye: The Collector seems to have the upper hand against Jeryline...until she spits a mouthful of blood from the Key into his eyes. Due to the blood being an extremely diluted mixture of Jesus Christ's, it actually has the effect of acid against the demon.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The Collector is physically incapable of saying the word "love", which leads to yet another hilarious moment with Billy Zane: He does, however, understand the noble Brayker well enough to know he wouldn't follow on his threat to kill a hostage. Not because he's particularly concerned with human life, but because she's the next Demon Knight. Jeryline later says she instinctively knew she was in no danger whatsoever from Brayker.
