This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
There's not really much I can say about "Creepshow" that hasn't been said or most horror fans don't already know. It's a diverse anthology made up of five tales "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate", and "They're Creeping Up on You". Every tale is enjoyable with my personal favorite being "The Crate". Each story is enriched with homages to the classic EC comics of the 1950's and Tom Savini's gore and creature effects still hold up great today. A great film by two great horror icons George A. Romero (R.I.P) and Stephen King.
Too stupid to be scary, not stupid enough to be funny.5,5/10
This was fun to re-watch! All 5 stories have their high points, and low points, but the campiness of it all is a treat! The special effects are rubbery, the soundtrack goofy, and the whole attempt to make it look comic booky is spookily effective! Leslie Nielsen and Hal Holbrook as bad guys? Awesome! And Adrienne Barbeau is perfecty as the harpy wife! As is a foul mouthed E.G. Marshall in his role! Now I want to re-read the book. No one better have thrown it away...
This horror flick is an analogy of five stories of creepiness and horror - covering stuff from zombies to monsters to bugs. This film has that skin-crawling factor and those jumpy moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.The acting is not terribly good, the music score is somewhat eerie and the plots for each story are fast-paced to a degree. There are not much of humor, drama or action in this horror flick - just plain weirdness and thrills. The make-up and visual effects were well done, definitely giving off that sensation of fright and outrageous horror.Not the greatest horror movie out there, but it's a good one to watch during Halloween.Grade B-
