Summary: one of the best scariest ever!.
Review: I own Creepshow 1&2 on vhs but it is the same film so I write my view upon that.Creepshow 2 is one of the best films I have ever seen when you see it for the first time it is very scary.After you have seen it more than once which I garantee you will want to it isnt so scary.I wont give to much away but the film comprises three horror tales based on short stories by legends of
horror Stephen King and George A Romero. It took a long time for me to add this little gem to my collection and I would never part with it if you have the film Im sure you"ll agree.If you have not got it all I can say is BUY BUY BUY!!.

Summary: An Campy Underrated Sequel to Creepshow.
Review: Also Based on Stephen King`s Short Stories from an Screenplay by George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead). The Three Tales are:When a old couple owned a General Store are Robbed and Killed by Hoodlum, a Wooden Indian comes to Life to Haunt Them. Four Teens decide to go Swinning Until a Strange looking Monster in a Oil Slick form traps Them on the Water. An woman killed accidently a Man on the Road, comes back to life as a Undead lowlife makes her life a living hell though the Night.

Directed by Micheal Gornick (Who is Cinemagrapher for George A. Romero films) made a entertaining horror film but this is Very Underrated and Campy at Best:Sequel. But the Saddest thing about this Sequel, it has an limited Budget. Still, this film was a Hit for New World Pictures. But the Magic of the First, Including the Look and Style is Gone. Tom Savini has a small role as the Creep. Stephen King has a Cameo. Although horror fans will take a look. It`s not bad but it should have been better. Grade:B-.

Summary: It hurts!
Review: Rarely do we see a movie that can affectively gain unanimous praise from it's audience based on one sole creepy story. The Raft has got to be one of the few genious moments in horror movie history since it just gets under you skin and never goes away. As for the other stories, well, let's break it down like this:

First Story: "Old Chief Woodenhead"-sensible plot, decent effects with the exception of the cheesy looking guy in a rubber/wooden suit-lol. This is more of a garden variety slasher flick sporting a Native-American vibe. Myself being Indian, I find it slightly offensive but thankfully the story offs the bad guys effectively.

Second Story: "The Raft"-as said before, simply brilliant in it's execution and quite simply a definitive moment in horror cinema. I wish I had seen this in the theatre! What is so brilliant about this is that these kids in the movie are smoking "something" and no one really asks the question, did they just drown from being stoned or did a blob thing really eat them up? I was waiting for a sign at the end to say: "Only use 100 percent pure folks-not all flowers have the same effect!" LOL.

Third Story: "The Hitchhiker"-standard Hollywood horror fare. Nothing really new here except for the fact of the adultress who is haunted by something she's done wrong. The actors play this story rather well. I guess it would be pretty creepy being chased by a bloody ghost in a dirty yellow rainslicker....hmmmm....sounds like a movie I remember seeing "last summer." Cheers!

Summary: A mostly entertaining anthology.
Review: Three tales of terror abound in this sequel to the popular original anthology. They include a story about a statue coming to life, a group of teens stuck on a raft with something in the water picking them off, and a hitchhiker who just won't stay dead. The first story is completely routine and lacking in any sense of menace or fun, but The Raft is a surprisingly scary segment (And the best of both Creepshows) and The Hitchhiker is pretty suspenseful, too. Kinda cheesy at times, but this is an enjoyable anthology.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scary, funny, and so much fun!
Review: Creepshow 2 is just as good as Creepshow 1 was. Although Creepshow 1 had a slightly more comic book feel to it, Creepshow 2 still delivers the goods. There's gore, don't worry. The first story "Old Cheif Woodenhead" is a good story about two men and their leader(who is a son of a father that is in an indian tribe). Their leader is named Sam. ... They rob an old couples store(which has a statue at the front called Cheif Woodenhead). Sam's father gave the old couple stones that are worth thousands of dollars, because the old couple were running out of money. ... I liked this story alot.
"The Raft" is about 4 teens terrorized by a man-eating muddy thing in a lake, and "The Hitchhiker is about a woman being terrorized by a man she hit with her car accidentally and drove off without reporting it.
My favorite was "The Raft" because it was scary,funny, the acting was very good, and it had an awsome TWIST ENDING! I liked this moive very much. "The Hitchhiker" was creepy too, but the scariest one is "The Raft"! You have got to see this movie! The DVD is excellent!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great
Review: I've seen both of the Creepshow movies, and they are both 2 of my favorite horror movies of all time. All stories were originated from the comic of the 50's and they were put into movie form just as great as "Tales From The Crypt's Demon Knight", and many more. Creepshow 2 doesn't live up to the original, but they have some pretty cool stories, and my personal fave on this one was "Old Chief Wood'nhead", but the other two were great stories, and fairly orignal. Don't expect what you saw from the first film, but this is still a great movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good sequel.
Review: Not as Great as the first one, i still say it's good in it's own way. Stephen King and George Romero once again show a trilogy
of Spooky tales that feature Wooden Indians coming to life for
revenge, a Flesh-Eating Goo terrorising Swimmers and a Zombie
Hit-and-Run Driver, it's mildy entertaining but worth a look.
My favorite of all the stories is " Chief Woodenhead".

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Creepy Sequel
Review: 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...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "Creepshow 2" a fun little movie
Review: Stephen King gives us three more tales of terror: A wooden Indian comes to life to wreak vengeance on three punks; four college students are terrorized by a mysterious slime on a lake; and an adulteress can't seem to shake a man she struck with her car. Mindless fun that should be enjoyed by those who liked the original film.
