Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Several concepts, such as the idea of shooting demons in the eyes to send them back to Hell, was later used by writers Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, for their television series "Brimstone" (1998). more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Even when not referring to his own emotions, The Collector can't say the word "love" when he is trying to seduce Jeryline at the end. He tries very hard to say it, but is simply incapable of using the word. Earlier, when The Collector was tempting Cordelia, he used the word several times without issue. more
Quotes:
Uncle Willie: Jeryline you wouldn't hurt your old uncle will now would you baby. more

The Cryptkeeper goes Hollywood., 13 January 2000
10/10
Author: Shaithis from Winnipeg, MB Canada

I tell ya, after getting through the first scenes in the movie I thought this was going to be THE film. A new classic.

Well, it just turned out to be an intro and had nothing to do with the actual movie. What we get to see is a story called 'Demon Knight'. Billy Zane, is excellent, a funny yet bad demon who throughout time has been chasing Brayker (William Sadler).

Brayker is the carrier of a relic which has been hidden from these demons since the beginning. So far, they have been successful at warding off the demons, but he is now trapped in this small town's seedy hotel.

The movie started out great with an excellent car chase and an amazing soundtrack (Filter's Hey Man Nice Shot). It's one of the best soundtracks I have ever owned.

Then the movie begins to fall into a lull. Stuck in a hotel, Sadler and the rest of the guests and staff defend the hotel from the inside...trying to keep the demons on the outside.

Flashbacks throughout time like the death of Christ and one of the World Wars were great. But if only that could have been more used and developed.

Still a pretty good horror movie, mainly the only drawback was the fact that it was relegated to a typical horror movie when it could have been something great.
