Leave your thoughts about Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight.
| Entertainment WeeklyJ.R. TaylorWith impressive heroics, creepy villains, and the best popping eyeballs since Evil Dead II, the movie is relentlessly moral, cartoonishly violent, and consistently fun. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonZane is an absolute blast, whether doing a little dance or trying to steal his way into each character's soul, he's having too much fun. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonMix "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. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaWhat "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. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesLloyd SachsDespite its aspirations to big-screen scares, this delivers more kitsch than a truckload of glow-in-the-dark skeletons. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonThe level of humor, of course, is familiarly low -- with nothing more deadly than the Crypt Keeper's puns ("Frights! Camera! Hack-tion!"). As for the gore, let's just say the demons are slimy, heads do roll and bodies are ripped asunder |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannThe movie isn't particularly well-paced, and I found it dull. But I've got to give credit to Todd Masters, who designed the special-effects makeup, to Gilbert Adler, who directed the Crypt Keeper sequences, and to Zane, who plays the Collector with style and wit. If I were 12, I might've loved it. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe silly story is basically just an excuse for some thrills and goofy one-liners, but even if the more likable characters tended to get killed off too early for my taste, I wasn't bored. |
| Time OutWalter AddiegoDemon Knight may be a good career move by director Ernest Dickerson ( "Juice" ), proving that he can work with a reasonably large budget on a genre film. But the picture breaks no ground, and in terms of his own development, it's hardly a step forward. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchHarper BarnesTo call Demon Knight a popcorn movie is to give it too much credit — I doubt it would raise the pulse of Orville Redenbacher. |
