Review of Creepshow (1982) by Kenny N — 15 Dec 2015
Come one come all to the meeting of two great masters of horror: Stephen King, the man who conjures up the most unspeakable horrors from the ordinary everyday things, and George A. Romero, who helped shape the modern scary movie.
Together, they create one of the most frighteningly funny films ever made. Let us discuss the individual segments. In our first segment "Father's Day," you'll see a grand reunion with loved ones from beyond the grave.
Next, we see "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill," with Stephen King himself in the title role of a down-on-the-farm goofball who might just cause the end of human civilization as we know it.
After that, we've got "Something To Tide You Over," where a man with psychotic revenge on his mind learns that the mad and the macabre works BOTH ways. (Be sure to hold your breath during this one.
) Then, something terrifying can be found in "The Crate." And whatever it is, it's very hungry. Finally, "They're Creeping Up On You," Mr. Upson Pratt. Your life of ruthless business dealings and contempt of the outside world might just lead you to a creepy, crawly end.
A must see for any fan of King, Romero, horror, horror anthologies, or anyone looking for a good scare and a great time.
