That crappy director George A. Romero, partners up with writer Stephan King to create fun semi-fright fest.
It’s a movie composed of many shorts movies. One involving a zombie after his father’s day cake. Another involvig a meteor and a lonely guy(which seems to be the same idea that “Evolution” had). A story about a man getting some revenge against a few of his enemies. A story about a monster-filled crate, and a story about a man and cockroaches.
All them pretty funny. Had a few moments that would make you jump, but overall, it was only good. Did not find it very exciting, but I was sitting at a wierd angle when I saw it, so I don’t know. If I was looking head on it might have been different.
By the way. It’s not very scary.

Okay,Let’s get started. This movie is not my thing, I thought parts of it were laughable and boring, I thought the acting was completely cheesy, I wanted it to get somewhere, but it never did. So, The only story that made sense was “The Crate”. That was it. Everything else was a DRAG!! Now, the actors who starred in the movie, knew better. There’s Ed Harris, Stephen King, Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau and Tom Atkins. They should stick to movies people appreiciate more,have a standard. Well, That’s all I have to say other than, ” Creepshow is more like Crapshow,for sure!!”

An episode movie that starts out with a boy not being allowed to read a DC horror comic. Once that presentation is over the viewer gets to see a couple of the comics in reality. Some of them are actually quite good and some I just didn’t care about. The first one was a pretty creepy ghost story called “Fathers Day” which was less then good(Ed Harris had a role in it). The second was more of a funny screwball piece about a farmer that finds a meteorite and if I’m not mistaken the farmer is played by Stephen King. After that we get to see Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson and a couple of more actors playing around in something that is less then good.

The old EC Comics were filled with gruesome tales, it is true, but they usually contained at least the kernel of a brilliant ida and were pulled off with excellent writing, artwork, and dialogue. What we have with Creepshow The Movie is absolutely the lamest, juvenile, and superficial adaptation of that genuine artistry into an atrocity of a film. It’s as though Romeo and King think that by employing simple gimmicky devices they can get away with absolutely horrid acting and utterly debauched violence. It’s a sad, depressing film that defames the excellent work of the original EC artists. Nothing more to say.
