 | Cryptkeeper's Deadly Duo Pack
rating: 4
I've liked "TALES FROM THE CRYPT" ever since it appeared on HBO.
I would say I'm a bigger fan of "DEMON NIGHT" Than "BORDELLO OF BLOOD".
To me "DEMON NIGHT" had a better storyline and better actors.
I rate this DVD a 8 from 1to10!!

Best movie ever!
rating: 5
Demon Knight was the bestest movie ever. It is so good. Scary, funny, sad, Billy Zane was the best being both funny and evil. Of course with Bordello of Blood I actually remember liking this movie when I first rented it of course I was probably watching it covering my eyes so it was probably better. But I do like Corey Feldman so that's probably all I liked about this movie. Except for the cryptkeeper. He still rules the school.

Two Tastes That Don't Taste Great Together
rating: 3
Well, I've always been a fan of Demon Knight, but for some reason I never picked it up on DVD. I recently got to thinking about how much I enjoyed the flick and decided to finally add it to my collection. Well, I couldn't find it anywhere in a store (didn't have much in the way of credit to buy it online at the time). That's when I came across this baby. I almost didn't buy it because it was paired up with Bordello of Blood (hate that damn flick), but I figured, what the hell? I'll just treat the other flick as a special feature I don't have to watch.
It was nice that Universal put the trailers on this disc. As I recall, the previous versions of Demon Knight on DVD had no extras, but I was a little disappointed with the look of the film. Maybe my memory is failing, but when I used to own this film on laserdisc, the print looked pristine. On the DVD, the film looks pretty solid, but some of the images seemed kinda soft and there were numerous places where I saw dirt in the image. Hmmm...
Well, in any case, it's nice to finally own it on DVD. It sucks that there weren't more extras on it, but I guess this will do for the time being.

5 Stars for Demon Knight/2 Stars For Bordello
rating: 4
"Get that pussy off the table!" No, I don't mean Dennis Miller...I mean the cat!
First of all, for clarification, the line above parodies a line uttered by CCH Pounder's character in Demon Knight, and if that line offends you then this DVD set is not for you.
Second, it appears that these two flicks are now available at Amazon only as a set. But for under $20 bucks, how can you complain when you get two flicks for pretty much the price of one. Well, you could complain if you hate Dennis Miller.
Demon Knight: Wonderfully acted, scary, some of the coolest demons in movie making history and of course has the signature dark humor abundant in most Tales From The Crypt stories.
Demon Knight is the story of benevolence pursued by malevolence. The showdown ensues in a halfway-house for derelicts (Jada Pinkett Smith & Thomas Hayden Church among others). William Sadler is the benevolent one charged with the task of protecting a powerful relic. Billy Zane is malevolence, and he is armed with Satan's magic to help him capture the powerful relic and its keeper. Scary, funny, good acting by good actors.
Bordello of Blood: What can I say? For me it was Bored by Bordello of Blood. The opposite of Demon Knight: Not scary. Not Funny. Bad acting by bad actors. Might have worked as one of the shorts in the classic HBO series, but getting motion picture treatment was not warranted. It may have even been a poor attempt to remake the original Kolchak - The Night Stalker. Therefore, if your looking for that kind of flick, go with Kolchak.
All in all, if this set is now the only way to get Demon Knight, by all means hit the Buy button now. Well worth the price.
