Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU The film hasn't changed one iota since 1982 and what's more it does not seem to have aged too much. Special effects maybe, but that's about all. The stories are absolutely funny more than frightening. They might have been gross and frightening in 1982 but today we are used to that kind of make-believe cinema. Every single story or moment is pleasure and nothing but pleasure. The Prologue and epilogue are so nice about the abusive father and the voodoo son, Stephen King's own son by the way. Let's think his father wasn't that kind of a father. But you may be surprised if you really analyzed the "rapport" between a father and a son. Abusiveness is at times in excess gentleness. "Father's Day" is the hilarious vengeance of an old and decrepit father killed by his own daughter: the vengeance comes from the grave, from beyond the grave. Never ever neglect celebrating father's day even for a father who does not deserve it. "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" with Stephen King in the main and only human role is even more than funny with his meteor that brings some kind of invasive green algae, fungus or whatever from outer space. Nothing to do with Superman, nor Aliens actually. The only solution is to evade the invasion by committing suicide I guess, slightly like a terrorist blows himself up in order to kill as many miscreants as possible to clean up the world of its perversion. The world is clean for the terrorist for sure after his own sacrifice. "Something to Tide You Over" is even more than hilarious because of another case of vengeance from beyond the grave and in this case the grave is the sea itself. I am not sure Stephen King intended this story to be hilarious but it is true that since Michael Jackson living dead creeping out of their graves and chasing you have become very entertaining. "The Crate" is nothing but justice or some just vengeance or some just balancing of grievances in a married couple. Don't let children watch that one: they could get some good idea of how to take care of an invasive mother who does not know what a bathroom or toilet door is when her son is using these facilities, or who does not know why she is not supposed to look under her son's bed. That's when the monster in the closet is really useful, and should be cultivated, for such sons: let it come out and take care of the mother. It is all the same when the son has become a husband and the mother has become a wife since all husbands choose their wives to correspond to what their mothers were. How can you be so pessimistic? But that is no pessimism: it is pure truth and reality. "They're Creeping Up on You" is the final touch about some rich man who is obnoxious with everyone and at the same time is obsessed with cleanliness and his germless and bugless environment. That is a killing obsession and the bugs will always have the last word and bring justice to the poor. You can imagine what I may dream about the fate of Trump who should be trumped by bugs and mulched by germs. And the epilogue gives us hope: all nasty people will sooner or later be trumped and mulched into oblivion and inexistence 1- beyond making friends with nasty Sunni dictators or autocrats; 2- beyond making fun of the Pope by being a grinning giant puppet next to the serious look of this grave charismatic religious leader; 3- beyond pushing some Prime Minister out of his right way to be in the front of the family picture; 4- beyond chastising 23 out of 28 of his allies and trying to bully them into paying for his own bills to make America great again; 5- beyond his gripping handshake that a French President turned into a gripping-back handshake that he could not escape anymore; 6- beyond his leaking confidential details of a criminal investigation in a terrorist attack in Manchester; 7- beyond his attempt to sink any climate agreement, including the one in Paris, for his egotistic promises to completely failed professions overdue in their coming to their own end; 8- beyond his sending 23 million people out of insurance coverage; 9- beyond his cutting federal funds for Medicaid by 50% and food stamps by 25% just to be able to cut the taxes of the wealthiest in proportion.And NINE is of course the apocalypse, the dragon, the beast and we are all the pregnant woman escaping this Babylon RED(RUM) Witch Doctor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYgOlqinH7A or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ttGgIQpAUc) of a President.Yes There is hope beyond the worst possible horror story in real life and that's what makes Romero's film and Stephen King's stories so beautifully good, funny and true to life down to our deepest guts. When These masters of literature and the cinema die we will have to reinvent them under a new skin. It is true Stephen King leaves two sons beyond himself, though they do not have the same level of creativity as the father. But Romero is more complicated as for descent. Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU

skybrick736 Creepshow (8/10) A horror anthology brought together by two of the most renowned minds in horror, Stephen King and George A. Romero. The first of five stories is the super cheesy "Father's Day", a great way to kick off the series of spook stories. Next was Something To Tide You Over, which in my opinion has the best writing and dialogue of the bunch. We also see E.G. Marshall and Stephen King star as the lone character in their respective stories, which is about a fast invasive space plant species' and an apartment being overrun by cockroaches that symbolize the cities minority community. The most notable segment is the fan favorite called The Crate led by Hal Holbrook, the lovely Adrienne Barbeau and a wicked, little man-eating arctic monster. The movie as a whole keeps the viewer interested since the stories are so short and the dark comedy is persistently good. If I were to rank the stories it would go Something To Tide You Over, The Crate, Father's Day, The Lonesome Death of Jody Verrill, They're Creeping Up On You.

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!

SnoopyStyle Billy is punished for reading comic horror Creepshow. The Creep invites him to five tales. In Father's Day, the old patriarch Nathan Grantham was killed by his daughter Bedelia. During a family gathering, Nathan is resurrected and takes revenge while getting the cake. In 'The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill', Jordy Verrill (Stephen King) is a dimwit farmer who finds a meteorite and is soon overcome with extraterrestrial plant life. In 'Something to Tide You Over', wealthy Richard Vickers (Leslie Nielsen) takes revenge on his wife and her lover Harry Wentworth (Ted Danson) by burying them up to their necks in the beach. In 'The Crate', college professor Henry Northup (Hal Holbrook) is informed of a deadly creature inside of a crate and he sees an easy way to get rid of his hateful wife Wilma (Adrienne Barbeau). In 'They're Creeping Up on You', ruthless business Upson Pratt (E. G. Marshall) has sealed himself up in his high tech apartment due to his germophobia. There is a blackout and his apartment is overrun by cockroaches.The first two tales are forgettable. The third one burying alive Ted Danson is not. It is the most compelling tale in the whole movie. It works on every level from the acting to the writing. The fourth one has a couple of interesting actors and the last one is creepy as hell. I'm not that afraid of bugs but people who do would really get unhinged over that one. The wrap-around story with Billy could probably be better. I'm sure they could have found a better actor than Stephen King's son. Teaming up horror icons like George A. Romero and Stephen King doesn't guarantee anything but this one worked out great.
