8. Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight
Not sure how I hadn't seen this movie. It's so ridiculous that it's exactly what I look for in a horror movie. Sure, I'm not the biggest fan of Jada Pinkett Smith so I can't say I was too enthused to find out she's the lead but that didn't really detract from the viewing experience. I liked the basic rules set up concerning the demons and the barriers. It's done so in a way that makes sense and doesn't just feel like a useless plot device.
Billy Zane as the villain is a stroke of genius. The man can overact with the best of them and brings this smarmy douchebaginess to the role that makes it just perfect. It just kept making me go "How the hell have I not seen this film?" The gore is great with plenty of nasty moments. The acting can sometimes be spotty but with the number of character actors involved in the ensemble, it's easily ignored. While admittedly I've never really watched the series, this movie may cause me to finally seek it out.
