Editorial Review:
BORDELLO OF BLOOD Wisecracking private eye Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) investigates some strange happenings at a titillating bordello on the edge of town. It seems owner Madam Lilith (Angie Everhart) and her luscious cohorts want more than money-they want blood! Soon Rafe finds himself up to his neck in a den of hungry vampiresses and battling the Reverend Jimmy Current (Chris Sarandon), a slick televangelist with an unstoppable talisman. Brimming with blood, lust and wicked laughs, this is one brothel you'll visit again and again! DEMON KNIGHT A mysterious drifter known as Brayker (William Sadler) 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), who has gathered the other six keys. Armed with automatic weapons, sacred blood and sadistic humor, Brayker and the strong-willed Jeryline (Jada Pinkett-Smith) must lead the inhabitants of a run-down hotel in a gruesome battle against the Collector and his evil horde of ghouls. Infested with a talented cast and thrilling special effects, Demon Knight delivers diabolical fun and a body of frights.
Tales From The Crypt: Bordello of Blood / Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight (Double Feature) Reviews:
Great Tongue-In-Cheek Cult Classic 
2009-02-13 - Dennis Miller is hilarious in his usual off-the-cuff way. The story is a hoot, gently mocking the whole vampire genre. The supporting cast is great, with Erika Eleniak playing a cynical client of Dennis Miller's PI who is investigating her case.
Outstanding !
2009-01-29 - I saw this on a VHS copy back in the 90's and never forgot about it.
I think this is one the most inventive and well done horror movies. The story is dark and captivating, the score is more than right and the acting is superb. Even Billy Zane is... well... not acting like Billy Zane !
After that, I simply have got the urge to buy anything under the "Tales From the Crypt" label.
A deliciously gruesome-twosome 
2009-01-14 - If you're a fan of "Tales From the Crypt" then this really is a no-brainer purchase. If you're not a devoted fan, well, that don't matter either 'cause these two cheesy, B-movie old school horror flicks do the trick anyway.
The better movie here is "Demon Knight". It's pretty suspenseful and creepy on occasion, it's stylishly filmed, has a decent amount of gore and is chock full of low-brow humor as well. The story here ain't half bad either, with a nice darkness vs. light plot that's fairly well written. Billy Zane is terrific as film's baddy and William Sadler is rock solid as the savior. In short; Very good horror film.
Less impressive overall but nonetheless very entertaining is "Bordello of Blood". It's more cheesy and comedy driven but it's fairly gory and atmospheric on occasion. Dennis Miller haters may find less enjoyment here but personally I think he does OK in the lead as the Private Eye who stumbles upon a brothel full of vampires. Also starring here is the criminally underrated Chris Sarandon, who here has a field day with a crazy preacher role.
This double DVD features solid transfers of the films but it's less impressive in the extras department, only offering the original trailers. But this comes recommend to all "Crypt" fans and (especially "Demon Knight") to all horror film lovers.
Drive-in double feature with fangs (and gore)
2008-11-05 - Drive-in double feature with fangs (and gore). Suspend belief all who enter and sit back then enjoy.
Tales From The Crypt:Bordello of Blood/Demon Knight Double Feature........
2008-04-04 - I tip my hat to Universal Pictures for, finally, releasing these two classics on DVD. Bordello of Blood tells the story of a wisecracking private-eye named Rafe Guttman who investigates a missing person report at a titilating bordello where the madam & her bevy of beauties want more than your money..they want your blood. Soon, Rafe finds himself up the creek without a paddle in the den of the hungry vampiresses and battling a televangelist named Reverend Jimmy Current who has a talisman & some despicable plans. On the other hand, Demon Knight tells the story of a drifter named Brayker who possesses the last of seven ancient keys that hold the power to stop the forces of darkness and protect all humanity from ultimate evil. The demonic Collector has collected the other six keys and he wants the last. It's up to Brayker and the strong-willed Jeryline to lead the inhabitants of a run-down hotel in a gruesome battle against the Collector and his evil horde of ghouls & make it out alive. Although the movies are put on the disc alphabetically, they were actually released in reverse. Demon Knight came out in 1995 and was directed by Ernest R. Dickerson. It starred Billy Zane, William Sadler, & Jada Pinkett Smith. It turned out to be a success. Bordello of Blood came out in 1996 and was directed by Gilbert Adler. It starred Dennis Miller, Corey Feldman(The Lost Boys), Erika Eleniak, Chris Sarandon(of Child's Play/Fright Night fame), and Angie Everhart. Willam Sadler & Whoopi Goldberg have cameos in the movie. Sadly, Bordello of Blood didn't do as well as Demon Knight did at the box office and was considered a box-office failure. It is a movie worth watching, however. All vampire movies are worth watching. ;) Both films are based on the hit HBO television series, "Tales From The Crypt" starring John Kassir as the voice of the Cryptkeeper. I highly recommend these two movies to all Tales From The Crypt fans as well as those who like watching a good spooky movie on a Friday Night. For this low, low price; you can't beat it.
