This movie is not like most movies.
It’s not that well known among Movie fans but it’s well known nowadays towards horror fans. But enough said about its legacy.

This movie is fan-fucking-tastic

"Re-watch - Apr. 9th I decided to have a horror double feature on this Friday night, brought to me via Starz. It's been 8 years since I last watched Demon Knight, a film I've always found to be a fun time. And it still is. The effects are mostly good, the characters are decent enough, and best of all the first kill is a cop and the final girl is a Black woman. It still feels like just an extension of the TV series that spawned it though rather than being its own creation, but then that's clearly"
