Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
donaldricco 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...
jacobjohntaylor1 This a very scary movie. It has great story lines. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very scary. 6.9 is a good ratting. But this such a great movie that 6.9 is underrating it. This is 9 out 10. Very good movie. If you like good horror stories then you should probably see this movie. This a great movie. I think best story in this movie is Something to tide you over. This is an anthology movie. The second best story is They're creeping up on you. The third best story one this movie is the introduction story. The fourth best story is The Crate. The fifth best story is fathers day. The sixth best story is The lonesome death of Jordy Verrill. This is a great movie.
tamosoeka I tried to find a good Stephen King film. To this day, I watched a dozen of 'em, found none.This film was comical. It has a comic in it, doesn't it? None of the stories felt creepy.Was it made for kids or something? Mister King writes a lot, but sorry to say, they are mostly vegetable. I mean, Where was the creep? It isn't possible that all the directors who made films out of Stephen King stories are bad at makin' it, is it? I am still to find a jump scare in a Stephen King film. I tried, I did not.
genowhirl If there's a better team to recreate the E.C. Comics on film, I haven't seen it. In the movie Creepshow, George Romero and Stephen King have created perfectly over the top renditions of 5 tales from the E.C. Comic series. It's a rather adventurous collection and contains a little something for everyone I believe. It is very well made and everything has a purpose from the gaudy, clashing colors to the crazy lighting and make up, and all the way up to the rather top- notch and eclectic acting. Brief Synopses and Descriptions:1. "Father's Day" (Ed Harris) - While awaiting their Aunt Bedelia's arrival to their Father's Day dinner party, a family regales itself with stories of how their aunt killed her father 7 years prior. But on this day, they're gonna wish Aunt Bedelia had made him his Father's Day cake instead. He'll have his cake and eat it too! What glorious make up they had for this one. 2. "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verril" (Stephen King) - A bit of comic relief, this tale is about a lonely country bumpkin who discovers a meteor that ends up having very curious effects and consequences. This one is short and sweet. It's very colorful and imaginative as it leaves you feeling sorry for the guy by the end haha. 3. "Something to Tide You Over" (Leslie Nielson) - When a vexed man finally exacts his revenge against his wife and her not-so-secret lover, they'll be up to their necks in trouble. A somewhat shocking and well drawn-out twist at the end, but this one will certainly have you holding your breath haha. 4. "The Crate" - When a janitor finds a crate under the stairs of a college containing an ancient creature with a veracious appetite, Henry Northrup sees this as an opportunity to finally break off his relationship with his wife, Wilma Northrup. This one is a very enjoyable ride to sit through. It's filled with suspense and a mild coating of dark humor throughout. It's hard to tell who the bad guy is in this one haha. 5. "Creeping Up On You" (E.G. Marshall) - A rich man with an aversion to insects gets his comeuppance from cockroaches. This one has some rather grand special effects and leaves us with an ending to die for. It all adds up to one hell of a classic that you'll find yourself coming back to over the years. So kick back, don't take it too seriously, and be ready for a good time!
