The premise
Ex-soldier Frank Brayker is the guardian of an ancient key that can unlock tremendous evil; the sinister Collector is a demon who wants the key so he can initiate the apocalypse. On the run from wicked mercenaries for almost 90 years, Brayker finally stops in at a boarding house in New Mexico where — with the help of its residents — he plans to face off against the Collector and his band of ghouls, preventing them from ever seizing the key.
Horror Vault's take
A charming, silver-tongued demon known as the Collector has spent ages hunting a relic of immense power — and the weary soldier tasked with keeping it out of his hands. When the chase finally ends at a rundown New Mexico boarding house, a ragtag group of strangers becomes humanity's last line of defense against an army of ghouls hell-bent on triggering the apocalypse. Equal parts gleeful gore-fest and tongue-in-cheek monster movie, Demon Knight wears its EC Comics DNA proudly on its blood-soaked sleeve. Billy Zane's deliriously villainous turn alone makes this a genre event worth revisiting.
