Review of Creepshow (1982) by Dann M — 31 Oct 2016
Masters of horror George A. Romero and Stephen King team up for the terrifying horror anthology Ceepshow. Starring Ted Danson, Hal Halbrook, Adrian, and Ed Harris, the film features 5 tales of terror, including a murdered grandfather rising from the grave, the awakening of an ancient Arctic creature, and an adulterous couple being buried alive.
Additionally, the frame story that connects the segments uses a creative comic book aesthetic that helps to set the right tone; which has a nice mixture of horror and comedy. And the music too does a good job at complimenting the material.
However, the makeup effects (done by Tome Savini) are rather hit and miss; as some are really grizzly and others are incredibly cheesy. Yet while it has some problems, Creepshow is a chilling excursion into the bizarre and macabre.
