Customer Reviews of Creepshow 2
A Creepy Sequel I first saw this sequel and the original when I was a little kid and it scared me to death. The funny thing is, I am 27 now and the movie still spooks the hell out of me. Although the HBO series "Tales From The Crypt" was edgier and better, "Creepshow 2" really marked to rebirth of this genre, which also included "Twilight Zone" and "The Outer Limits".
Well, getting back to "Creepshow 2", the three stories were written by Stephen King and directed by a Pittsburgh native and family friend George Romero. The first story is called "Old Chief Woodenhead" about a store indian that comes to life once the store's owners a murdered. George Kennedy and Dorothy Lamour( in her last movie) play the store owners. The story is a bit gory, and upsetting to see Dorothy Lamour killed, but well written and acted. "The Raft" is the best story of the three about a kind of blob that terrorizes these kids on a lake. The ending of the story is a classic. The final story is called "The Hitchhiker" and it's the typical yarn about a woman who hits a man, and he comes back to haunt her. That story has since been overdone in "I Know What You Did Last Summer".
This DVD version is what really loses my marks. There are no extras, and I feel the video copy has a much better picture quality. For the extra money, I do not think a DVD version is worth it. The movie itself is great, but I'd go cheaper and buy the video...
"Creepshow 3", anyone?
I liked this movie for many reasons. One, the first one was terrifyingly scary (I was 8 when I first saw it). Two, it was written by horror master Stephen King. The first story, "Old Chief Woodenhead," about a cigar store Indian who avenges the murders of his kindly shop owners, was creepy enough. Only really scary if you are easily creeped out or if you watch it at night with the lights off. The second story, "The Raft," about four college students who go to a secluded lake and unwittingly become sitting ducks to a carnivorous oil slick-like blob was particularly scary. My second favorite out of the three stories in the movie. The last of the three and by far the simplist and most scariest was "The Hitchkiker." About a cheating wife driving home from a rendevous with her lover and runs down some poor guy. She flees the scene only to be haunted by his undead spirit. Makeup effects by master Tom Savini were awesome. The complaints I have about the movie are minor ones. Why were there only three stories instead of five like in the first one? Also, what was up with the animated wraparound story? Yes, the first
"Creepshow" featured animated in-betweens before and after each story, but it did not have any cartoonish interaction between characters in its prologue or epilogue. Also the score wasn't nearly as scary as it was in the first movie. The fillmmakers should have tried to get the same composer to return as well as director George A. Romero. The DVD doesn't have that many special features on it. The trailer and a behind-the-scenes photo gallery montage are about it. I would have liked to at least have a commentary by the director if not a couple of the cast members. Last but not least, when will there be a "Creepshow 3"? It's never too late for another sequel. Hello, Hollywood is sequel-crazy these days. Now is the time to strike. Overall, a decent pick if you're looking for a fright ride.
"Thanks for the ride lady!"
Thanks for a crappy rental blockbuster. This movie blew more then a three dollar hooker. My friend and I were so disapointed in this movie. We both saw the first one and loved it. Every story in that one was awesome and they all had a cool comic book feel and each one was different from the other. Well the sequel had a feeling of "When will this movie end" ok i will be honest the second story was really good and the blob thing was awesome. I know it is just a movie but it did bother me that the car battery never died after the car being on for so long but again it is just a movie. that story is the reason why i gave it two stars instead of one.
The last story was the one that ruined the movie. I mean the first story was neat but not great and the second one was cool but the third one was poop on a stick. All it was, was a black guy in a raincoat screaming "thanks for the ride lady" while getting killed thirty times. The only thing that terrified me was how i laughed during that scene because i was thinking what if Dave Chapelle remade this but with him as the black guy. It would have been hilarious. So just rent the first one and if you do really want to see this just watch the first two stories and skip the last one, you will thank me
