A flop that deserved a sequel…and more! |Demon Knight 1995 - Movie recap + commentary

Again, Jada when her hair was short was everything. Also, it was great that she was a Final Girl.

The collector had me dying 😂😂😂

[@AnubisConstantine]

fun fact, tales from the crypt had so many producers & directors that it can’t stream due to not knowing who actually owns it. I bought it on vudu before the lawsuits & it became unavailable (I can still watch the seasons I paid for before it happened). The sad thing is because of that most people won’t know what that show is/was & sadly it will never get remade. Imagine an anthology show from different actors & directors & the things they could create now with technology.

[@yendaaaa]

Damn really? I have IPTV and theres a channel where respective shows play on their channel 24/7 and TFTC is on there; its also on youtube! :)

[@AnubisConstantine]

@@yendaaaa yes but you can’t get it on prime, vudu & etc to buy it. most people who come across it on youtube or other independent platforms won’t know what it is unless they grew up watching it. If you go back & watch it, you’ll notice not only many famous faces but many famous directors too. They were like mini horror episodes but made very professionally

[@animeotaku307]

On the bright side, the Creepshow TV series is a fine spiritual successor to Tales.

😁😁😁😁😁I love this movie so much growing up. My family used to have the VHS copy of it. I would watch it all the time back then (and we still have the VHS up in the attic along with the other VHS tapes from that time that we still have). Tales from the Crypt was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Used to love watching reruns on FOX after MAD TV over the weekends and later on the Sci-Fi channel. It's a damn shame that the show is nowhere to be found on streaming sites, especially MAX since it's one of HBO's biggest shows back in the day. Real talk: I was scared of the Cryptkeeper and still scared of him at the grown age of 33 😂😂

I knew this movie would be the first to be reviewed during spooky season & watched it last year for the first time during spooky season, I enjoyed it & here comes the fun facts: Billy Zane was also in Back To The Future & Ernest R. Dickerson directed this movie. Ernest R. Dickerson also did cinematography on movies such as Krush Groove, Disorderlies, School Daze, Do The Right Thing & Def By Temptation. He also directed Juice, Bulletproof with Damon Wayans & Adam Sandler & Bones (2001). You should finish College Hill VSU then go to ATL afterwards. Next week’s review is Jeepers Creepers.

It technically was a flop. The movie only grossed $21,089,146 domestically (U.S. only) on a budget of $12 million. It sounds good, but not really. For example, Hocus Pocus only made $50.8 million on a budget of $28 million, but it was considered a flop because domestically (in the U.S.) it grossed $49,271,717. However, internationally, it grossed $1,526,718. Demon Knight made no money internationally.

[@MChantal76]

Okay, to answer your final questions... 1) Braker is an alias he borrowed from a dead man he met five years ago. He can't use his real name because he'd be too easy to track and plus, he was around during WW1 and still looks like he's in his 30s which would also attract attention. 2) The black Collector is a different Collector. When the duty of Demon Knight or Collector is passed on due to the old Demon Knight or Collector dying, they get replaced. 3) Yes, the cat & mouse game keeps going. Braker says it may take a lifetime or several lifetimes, she'll only need to fight on the day when the stars on her palm align. I hope this helps. 😉😉😉

[@alexandriamcgee3690]

[@willisstryker2467]

Thank you! In regards to the title of this video I was JUST going to say isn't technically Bordello of Blood the sequel to this movie given the connection being the artifact with the blood of Christ in it.

[@JayBelafonte]

Originally it was supposed to be a connected trilogy of movies with the key being the center piece of all the stories. Also, the collector is a position, and when one dies another replaces him. You missed that the hotel was actually a church an old Spanish Mission aka “holy ground” which is why Braker was attracted to it initially. The blood in the Key was also supposed to be partially the blood of Christ captured during his crucifixion.

[@lemonhead2]

This is one of my favorite horror films and bless you for reviewing it! Never see other horror fans discuss this classic and give it the praise it deserves. One of the few movies with a capable final girl!

[@rashawnjordan1307]

There was an interview fairly recently with the writers and they said it was planned to be a trilogy.
