Ready for your deadtime story? The first theatrical spinoff of the HBO show is one of the great horror flicks of the ’90s, a fast-paced & fright-filled blast of ghastly fun, stylishly helmed by cinematographer-turned-director Ernest Dickerson, that perfectly captures the ghoulish delight of the EC comics of the 1950s. When a mysterious drifter on the run from a demonic Collector seeks refuge at a run-down hotel, he’ll have to team with the residents in a last stand for the human race. Featuring an incredibly game cast, including Billy Zane, William Sadler, Jada Pinkett Smith, and genre icon Dick Miller.
“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. Taylor, Entertainment Weekly
“Director Ernest Dickerson targets just the right tone for tension and comic relief, and keeps the whole thing rolling in Grand Guignol style.” – Jeff Shannon, The Seattle Times
