Whenever this rickety, unkempt "little monster" appears on the screen, you must be mentally prepared.
Because "he" is the horror manager of the late-night drama "Strange Tales of the Demon World", "Guardian of the Demon World".
As the former leader of the veteran "Yellow Storm" radio station HBO, this collection of stories adapted from horror comic magazines has been released for a total of 7 seasons.
The painting style is paradoxical and the plot is bizarre, and every time it is broadcast, it makes people tremble and can't stop.
In addition to the short series, "Crypt" also has some long stories that need to be shown in movies.
For example, the one I'm going to talk about today -
Devil Knight
Demon Knight
In the opening stage, it is still the reserved role of the guardian of the demon world.
When he infiltrated Hollywood, he was filming a short film about his wife killing her husband and being killed by the soul.
Due to the stupidity of the actors, the guardian of the demon world scolded and stopped the filming.
turned his head to break the third wall, and told the audience in front of the big screen about his other "Olympic" masterpiece.
That is, the main dish of the film "Devil Knight".
Near a small town in New Mexico, two men are staging a passionate car chase.
Among them, Blake (William Seidler), who was armed with a shotgun, was finally defeated by his pursuers, abandoned the car and fled to the town.
In the dead of night, it's hard to find a place to hide.
Luckily, a homeless man shows up at the right time and takes Blake to a small hotel converted from an abandoned church.
In the dilapidated and gloomy hotel, there is still some popularity.
The proprietress who saw the money opened an exception to open a guest room for the stranger in front of her;
The waiter, who had a bad attitude, scolded and sent Blake's luggage to the room on the second floor;
In addition, there is a charming amorous woman sitting in the lobby;
The next step is to the hotel, and the little gangster who dates the amorous girl;
and small-town postmen with colored hearts and no color guts.
Blake, who is not good, is very wary of this group of "weirdos" who do not come.
He didn't go back to his room, but stayed in the lobby to chat and find out what was going on with them.
But what should have come has come after all.
The previous upright pursuer (Billy Zane) led the town police to kill him.
He accused Blake of being a dangerous man, carrying a weapon and stealing a priceless antiquity.
Blake seemed to have something unspeakable, unable to defend himself, except to persuade everyone not to believe the words of his pursuers.
While the dispute was over, the radio transmitted Blake's information back -
The man with this name died five years ago.
In this way, the sheriff had a direction, quickly controlled Blake, and searched his room for the so-called antiquities.
It is a large bronze key with 7 six-pointed stars carved into the handle, and it is also filled with an unknown bright red liquid.
The pursuer's eyes lit up when he saw the key, and he immediately ordered the homeless man to empty the contents.
The sheriff was alert and prevented the homeless man from touching the exhibits, intending to bring the pursuers back to the police station as well.
The pursuer suddenly attacked, literally punching the sheriff's head......
Blake took advantage of the chaos to retrieve the key and used it as a weapon to blast the pursuers out of the hotel.
Seeing that the conspiracy was bankrupt, the pursuers simply stopped pretending.
I saw him cut through his palm and sprinkle green blood all around;
When the green blood touched the dirt, countless "little ghosts" grew and surrounded the hotel.
Blake saw the trick and sprinkled the liquid in the keys on the edges of the doors and windows, forming an invisible barrier to temporarily resist the attack of the "imps".
Faced with everyone's questioning, he had to tell the truth of the matter.
The so-called pursuers are actually "devil's messengers", who intend to summon darkness to sweep the entire human world.
Blake, on the other hand, is the "Devil Knight", with a grand mission to defend against the Devil's invasion.
The liquid in the key is the blood of the previous knight, and it is the only existence that can fight against the devil.
The dispute has lasted for thousands of years, dating back to Jesus himself......
Everyone was skeptical, but for the sake of the efficacy of the key, they obeyed Blake's command and obediently waited for dawn in the hotel.
And the skills of the devil's messenger are obviously not limited to "physical attacks", and the charm of the mind-loving mind is quickly unleashed.
The first one to be recruited was the amorous girl.
Engaged in such a profession, what she longs for most is undoubtedly love.
The devil's messenger used it as bait and quickly captured it.
The amorous woman who was "possessed" by the devil turned her head and pounced on the postman who really had a crush on her......
The rest of the people reacted too late, and had to do everything they could to destroy their eyes and completely destroy their bodies and souls.
Seeing that the hotel was no longer safe, the group insisted on escaping from the abandoned underground mine to the town, despite Blake's obstruction.
But unfortunately, the unguarded town has actually fallen completely.
With little blood left in the key, Blake struggled to draw the last small piece of enchantment.
The magic of the Devil's Messenger became even more swift as a result.
He promised to take his waiters around the world;
Let the homeless enjoy the wine pond meat forest forever;
help the proprietress restore her broken arm;
and giving supreme power to the thugs.
The homeless man could not resist the temptation and became a pawn of the devil's messenger on the spot.
The thugs even fought back, breaking the barrier for the devil's messenger.
The proprietress and one of the remaining police officers resisted desperately, and did not hesitate to die with a large number of imps by blowing themselves up.
In the end, Blake and the waiter were left to face the wrath of the devil's messenger.
Looking at the faintly glowing 7 six-pointed stars in his hand, Blake suddenly realized his fate tonight.
The proprietress , the waiter, the homeless man, the amorous woman, the gangster, the postman, the policeman, the number of people in the hotel corresponds to the number 7.
And when they are faced with the 7 deadly sins from the devil, only the waiter goes to the end.
Empty keys need to be filled with fresh blood, and it's time to choose a new Devil Knight......
Blake, like his predecessors, poured all his blood and energy into the key, and then died of his injuries.
The waiter, bathed in blood and holy light, will face off against the devil's messenger in the ultimate showdown.
The experienced devil's messenger, who washed off the waiter's "amulet" with a shower, danced with her in the moonlight with little hurt and humiliation;
How could he want the waiter, but he endured the humiliation and burden, and sprayed the last mouthful of "holy blood" straight into the eyes of the devil's messenger.
In the raging fire, all the gloom will eventually return to dust......
It is worth mentioning that Jada Pinker Smith, who plays the waiter, is Will Smith's beloved wife.
At the Oscars a few years ago, "Emperor Shi" was angry at the crown, precisely because the host made a joke about "Devil Knight" -
Jada later suffered from alopecia;
And her appearance in this film is basically a "bald head......
Of course, in addition to this funny little gossip, "Devil Knight" itself is entertaining enough to hunt for curiosity.
The fragmentation and mash-up of the pre-suspense and the magic have become a benchmark for latecomers such as "Deus Ex Dawn" to learn and imitate.
