Ready for your deadtime story?

 

A mysterious drifter known as Brayker (WIlliam Sadler, Iron Man 3) possesses the last of seven ancient keys that hold the power to stop the forces of darkness and protect all humanity from ultimate evil.  But the human race is safe only so long as Brayker can evade the demonic Collector (Billy Zane, Titanic), who has gathered the other six keys.  

 

In his obsessive quest for the key, the Collector rallies an army of ghastly cadavers against Brayker and the inhabitants of a run-down hotel.  Armed with automatic weapons, sacred blood and sadistic humor, Brayker and the strong-willed Jeryline (Jada Pinkett Smith, Gotham) must lead the other guests in a gruesome battle against the Collector and his evil horde of ghouls.  

 

Infested with a talented cast, thrilling special effects and the Crypt Keeper’s deadpan delights, Demon Knight is directed by genre vet Ernest Dickerson (The Walking Dead, Dexter, Masters of Horror) and features a strong supporting cast featuring Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3, Sideways), CCH Pounder (Orphan, Avatar), Brenda Bakke (L.A. Confidential), Dick Miller (Matinee) and Charles Fleischer (Zodiac).  

 

Winner: Best Actress, Jada Pinkett Smith – 1996 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards
