...The best things about CREEPSHOW are its carefully simulated comic-book tackiness and the gusto with which good actors assume silly positions...

Rating: 2/5 -- Horror film purists may object to the levity even though failed, as a lot of it is.

Rating: 5/5 -- Creepshow is special not because it's an extended homage to EC Comics (though that doesn't hurt) but what stands out is the way these shorts are captured in style that reflects their inspiration, almost eerily so. Full Review

...The film is top of its class....CREEPSHOW feels like a real labor of love and Romero produces more genuine startling effects than anyone in recent years...

Rating: 2/4 -- Creepshow feels incomplete. Its slapstick humor is not enough to hold the attention it could gain from using a betterly written script. [Full review in Spanish]. Full Review

Rating: 4.8/5 -- The lighting, color palette, splashy FX work, and caricature acting all combine to make Creepshow one of horror's most distinct and enduring films. Full Review

Product Description:

In this collaboration with Stephen King, director George Romero assembles a distinguished cast and pays vividly hued homage to the E.C. horror comics of the 1950s. (This film appeared years before the TALES FROM THE CRYPT series.) Five creepy tales are strung together by a framing story involving a young boy being punished by his father for reading the gruesome, titular comic book. "Father's Day" tells the tale of a family patriarch exacting beyond-the-grave revenge on the daughter who murdered him. In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill," a Maine hayseed (King himself in a ridiculously over-the-top performance) is overtaken by a meteor-based plant growth. A cuckolded husband exacts watery revenge on his cheating wife and her lover in "Something to Tide You Over." A hairy beast in a box is used for nefarious purposes at a university in "The Crate." Finally, in "They're Creeping Up on You," a wealthy, arrogant New Yorker with a fear of germs has a disturbing run-in with cockroaches during a blackout.

While the stories are a bit brief, the style is appropriate for the anthology format. Romero's use of garish colors to mimic the ink in comic books is visually appealing, preventing the gore on display from being too off-putting. Featuring early appearances by actors such as Ed Harris and Ted Danson, CREEPSHOW is eerie, engaging entertainment.
