quite a movie treat for a dark, stormy night
A young boy's comic contains five E.C. horror-like tales written by Stephen King (who stars in the second story,) and directed by George A. Romeo (of the LIVING DEAD trilogy.) A man pays a visit to his family on Father's Day from beyond the grave... A farmer finds a meteorite that, when broken, spews fourth strange moss that grows on everything, including his own flesh... A man and his lover seek revenge on her husband AFTER he's murdered them... A mysterious crate found in a college basement is labeled, "DANGER: DO NOT OPEN." You're about to find out why... A billionare with a horrible fear of germs and insects finds his penthouse infested with nine hundread QUADRILLION coachroaches! With a few surreal animated sequences thrown in for good measure, CREEPSHOW is one horror film you won't soon forget.
Creepy!
What's not to love? 5 Creepy tales told in the style of 50's Horror comic books such as "Tales From The Crypt." A family gathers to continue a bizarre father's day ritual-but there's a special visitor this year. A man discovers a mysterious meteorite that crashed on his lawn. A disgruntled husband plans a beach adventure for two young lovers...and more!This film captures the spirit of the old 50's horror comics much better than any of the "Tales from the Crypt" movies could. While some of the stories fall slightly flat (witness "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verril"-which is more depressing than funny) the stories are generally surprisingly effective. "Something to Tide You Over" and "They're Creeping Up on You" are two of the best. The atmosphere of "The Crate" is slightly diminished by the hideously fake looking creature (this would have been much more effective if they'd not shown the creature), but otherwise, the makeup effects are impressive, and they add to the creepiness of the film. This film was very enjoyable, and is a must-see for King fans. Did you Know: Stephen King and George Romero originally collaborated on this film in order to make enough money to help finance a film version of King's novel "The Stand."
Creepy and cool, the best short story horror movie
This is, for me, the best short story horror film i seen so far. I seen a good amount, i am not going to say all but i seen enough to know what is good and not good. This is the best. I love all the stories, some have there weak moments but the one wih the moster in the box and the roaches are the best. I dont want to type a lot but pure in simple this movie is a good rental and worth 10 or 15 bucks in my book.
