The movie was fine, with good casting and the scenes were excellent. However, I guess I became spoiled by the television series, because I liked Gerient Wyn Davies as Nick much better and Nigel Bennett was made to play Delacroix. It would be great if they could take that series and do a major film from it. This film, the original television pilot for the series does hold up well. Rick Springfield is an excellent Nick. I was somewhat disappointed with the climax of the story (I don't want to spoil it for those who have not seen it) but hey, you cant always have everything in life that you want. For all you classic car fans, check out Nick's vintage 1959 Caddilac. It could have been billed as a star of the show itself.
I enjoyed this movie very much when it came out and I would love to see it again. Rick Springfield was my idol when I was a teen, and I have liked most of what I've seen him in. I also liked the TV series based off this movie. Like I said, it was for the time a very original take on the old standby Vampire legend
I haven't seen the series based on this movie called Forever Knight but I wouldn't mind seeing being a fan of both Buffy and Angel tv series. I have to wonder if this is where some of the inspiration for those shows came from considering the movie on Buffy came out only 3 years later. Lets just say that if you enjoy Angel and you are looking for a decade earlier equivalent then you'll probably find something in Nick Knight to enjoy.

This is my favourite movie. I know that sounds pathetic, but the first time I watched it, it kept me guessing. Most movies are predictable. Of course it only worked the first time I watched it, but I never knew if the vampire was good or bad until well into the movie and thoroughly enjoyed the whole movie. I was disappointed at that time to find it was a pilot which of course leaves room for more at the end. I thought the music was great and actually tracked down (it was of course by then getting old) some of the CDs. It was disappointing that 'Forever Knight' the series that followed didn't keep to the high standard set by this pilot, although I've still watched all the episodes several times. Anyway, for what it's worth, I think this movie is worth a look.
"Nick Knight" (Rick Springfield) is a detective who has recently been assigned a case involving a serial killer who not only murders people but also drains them of their blood. Needless to say, the media is having a field day with this strange development and have half-jokingly begun to refer that the serial killer is a vampire. What the media-or anybody else-knows is that Detective Knight just happens to be a real vampire and has taken a special interest in this case. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say to say that this was one of the better Vampire movies produced in the late-80's and early-90's mainly because it doesn't follow the normal pattern of almost all of the other Vampire films prior to this time. The fact that this was also a made-for-television movie makes it even more unique as quite often these films lack imagination and originality. That being said however, I must admit that the special effects were rather basic and could have used some significant improvement. Be that as it may, I enjoyed the movie for the most part and have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
