Creep show

[clepto]

since im writing a novel thats a horror anthology I figured Id reveiw the best horror anthology there ever was, Creepshow is a super fun throw back to the old school horror comics of the 50s, The first storie is fathers day wich is a perfect exersise in short story telling, not over complicated and it had great effects by savini (loved the coarpse he made me want a fuckin cake) The second story is the one I always felt was the weak link, its called the commet and though the weakest of the film it was still enjoyable, and stephen king does a fairly good job acting for an author, and watching him transform to a plant was fun(loved how he had halucinations of his dead father) the third storie is about a jelous husband who burries his wife and the dude shes fuckin up to there necks on the beach right before high tide, they than come back as zombies to get there revenge (very fun story and leslie neilson does a wonderfull job) The fourth known as the crate and is super fun and has more classic savini effects, I also loved how the main charictor fed his annoying wife to the monster in the crate(great shit) this story also has the most gore of the whole movie(the monster looks ausome though a bit fake) and the final story wich was always the star attraction in my eyes was about a scientist with an insect phobia whos lab gets over run by and army of coch roaches wich ends with them bursting out of his chest like aliens (great shit) topped off with Tom Atkins begining this anthology off ass an abusive dad and great direction by remero(he gave it a wonderfull comic book vibe)

all in all 10/10 a horror anthology classic

Loved it!My all-time favorite film made by either Romero,Savini,or King.Father's Day was the best,then High Tide,The Crate,They're Creeping Up On You,and The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verril had heart and a sense of humour so it gets credit.Romero definitelly gave it a great comic-vibe as did Stephen King with the script.I just bought a poster of it a couple weeks ago,and now it hangs over my tv in my room.:D

I looooooove Creepshow. One of my all time favorites. I love all the stories, especially Lonesome Death of Jordy Verille, which seems to be the least liked. But I think it echos King perfectly. Its a silly segment with goofy humor with a dark twist at the end. Good stuff!


10/10

I guess I'll sadly be the unpopular one who only thought it was OK. I wasn't impressed by the sequel, either. It was fun to see King act so strange though.

I thought it was only OK as well.

Really didn't think much of Creepshow, I'm a huge Romero fan and was left disappointed with it, aside from a few moments I didn't find any of the stories very entertaining, they're watchable but not much else. A big disappointment for me. Creepshow 2 was slightly worse (only reason to watch that is for The Raft) and 3 was just shit.

6/10

Yeah, I had a friend hounding me recently, saying he had seen this movie with a killer black sludge in a lake. He kept describing to me since I'm a horror nut, and finally it clicked as being the short story, The Raft, in Creepshow 2.
