If it weren't for a gleefully game cast - led by Billy Zane's over-the-top bonkers demon lord - it would be a hard movie to recommend.

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.

The least horrible of the three modern Tales from the Crypt films...

It may not be a classic or even as successful as the genuinely unsettling 1972 E.C. Comics adaptation, but now, just as in 1995, it fulfills its goal as a sardonic, blessedly unpretentious creature feature.

Lightning in a bottle.

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

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.

Basically Romero Lite, but a strong cast and capable direction by Ernest Dickerson provide it with some lift.

There's still a lot of filler in this chiller.

As for fans of Zane, if there was ever a film where the man breaks loose with his charm and enthusiasm, "Demon Knight" is his podium.

The movie isn't particularly well-paced, and I found it dull.
