Synopsis

The Collector, a mysterious force of evil, hungers for possession of a key that will give him access to the monsters of Hell. But he cannot get the precious object away from Brayker, the key's guardian. The two begin an apocalyptic struggle, as The Collector summons carnivorous demons and orders them to destroy any obstacles to the key. But the key has provided Brayker with a magical talisman to keep him safe: the sacred blood of Jesus Christ. However, this power begins to weaken with time, and Brayker must come up with another form of protection... or else his flesh will be dessert.

Critics' reviews

"With impressive heroics, creepy villains, and the best popping eyeballs since Evil Dead II, the movie is relentlessly moral, cartoonishly violent, and consistently fun"

J.R. Jones: Chicago Reader
"The movie isn't particularly well-paced, and I found it dull."

Edward Guthmann: SFGATE
"What 'Tales From the Crypt' does best is sustain a look and tone that bring a comic-book's broad strokes into the realm of a live-action movie without seeming too mannered or arty"

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"Pic is neither funny enough nor scary enough to be fully satisfying as either a shocker or a spoof."
