Summary: Creepshow 2 review
Review: Not nearly as good as its chilling precursor, a collection of short horror films based on the works of Stephen King, this sequel contains about half as many "terror tales" as the original and as a result, seems to come up short.CREEPSHOW 2 is not an awful movie by any means as it tells three stories (and also features a short cartoon) presented as a take on the old EC comic series. The first story is a simple revenge tale featuring a Native American statue that exacts vengeance on a group of hoodlums who murder an antique store owner and his wife. The story is by-the-numbers but is presented pretty well. Our second tale finds a group of oversexed pot-smoking teen swimmers trying to get away from some type of man-eating human waste in the pond. This one is pretty creepy with some "stay out of the water" horror mixed with some humor. The last one plays on that classic concept of the sinner trying to cover up their mistakes but not being able to bury them properly as a cheating housewife runs down a hitchiker who just won't stay dead. If you enjoyed the first film, this is pretty much more of the same. Unfortunately, where the first film was a gripping collaboration between horror masters, Stephen King and George Romero that had fun playing with the many common phobias in American culture, this sequel just feels like a bunch of old Tales From The Crypt re-runs played one after another. Not a bad movie if you're looking for a few good scares.

Summary: "Thanks for the ride lady!"
Review: Thanks for a crappy rental blockbuster. This movie blew more then a three dollar hooker. My friend and I were so disapointed in this movie. We both saw the first one and loved it. Every story in that one was awesome and they all had a cool comic book feel and each one was different from the other. Well the sequel had a feeling of "When will this movie end" ok i will be honest the second story was really good and the blob thing was awesome. I know it is just a movie but it did bother me that the car battery never died after the car being on for so long but again it is just a movie. that story is the reason why i gave it two stars instead of one.
The last story was the one that ruined the movie. I mean the first story was neat but not great and the second one was cool but the third one was poop on a stick. All it was, was a black guy in a raincoat screaming "thanks for the ride lady" while getting killed thirty times. The only thing that terrified me was how i laughed during that scene because i was thinking what if Dave Chapelle remade this but with him as the black guy. It would have been hilarious. So just rent the first one and if you do really want to see this just watch the first two stories and skip the last one, you will thank me

Summary: Funny and Creepy
Review: Three stories of terror introduced by the Creep (in animation form) who appears to have the same sense of macabre humor as the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt. The stories even begin the same way as match shots from comic-book to film. The first story is called 'Old Chief Woodenhead'. George Kennedy stars as an old convenience store owner who is robbed and killed by a bunch of 80's punks. His Indian statue comes alive and avenges his death. This story is probably the least entertaining and takes a while to get going.
Story number 2 is called 'The Raft' focuses on 4 teenagers out to have a good time at a secluded lake. But a huge sludge monster is out to eat them all up. This is probably the best story as it is very fast-paced and engaging.
The last, and longest story is 'The Hitchhiker' in which a rich, cheater (Lois Chiles) runs over the titular character and is haunted by his corpse all the way home until she loses her mind. This is quite a cool story with some interesting direction. Stephen King has a cameo as a trucker. Tom Savini (seriously) appears as the live action Creep and the beginning and end of the movie.
As part of Anchor Bay's Divimax series the image and sound of Creepshow 2 is top-notch. The 1.85:1 anamorphic picture is surprisingly beautiful and free of anything remotely resembling dirt, artifacts or pixalization. Black levels and fleshtones are suspiciously natural and color fidelity is superb. One wonders how such and old, and little seen, film can look so good. And although the soundtrack is remastered from plain and simple Mono it is still an above average presentation when compared to modern sound mixes. The sound is clear and crisp and is free of hiss or distortion. Kudos to Anchor Bay on this transfer.
For extras we get a commentary from director Michael Gornick, a documentary called 'Nightmares in Foam Rubber' about the creation of the make-up effects (rather boring), two trailers, a photo gallery with shots of behind the scenes activity and the script is in PDF form when inserted into a DVD-ROM drive. Nice menus too.
A must have for horror fans and Steven King affectionados. Even if you haven't seen the first film (like me) this is still a must have and a definite keeper. Very few people are likely to feel shortchanged after watching this movie.

Summary: A negative review by a talented "loser"!
Review: Whom ever these losers are with these low-quality opinions need to leave the real citisisum to the real movie buffs. I think that these two can really scare the pants off their viewers'. I love creepshow like annie wilks loved paul shelton. Ha!, that one's for stephen. I think that this goes down in the history of good horror's. No one these days can scare people like King and Ramano. I hope that stephen king's new horrow series on abc can capture the horror essence of the old classics. Jesus!,no one can scare us today like King did when I was a kid. Even as a woman today I still get chill's from his classic and wonderfully crafted horrors. Keep up the good work king and ramano!!!! Your die hard and truthful fan,
Quashana Denise Singleton Ps: Should have gotten 10 stars! **********Now!!!!

Summary: Creepshow 3!
Review: Why do people hate Creepshow 2? Well people hopefully you will like Creepshow 3 better.Because I just read an interview with George A. Romero about his next Dead film and he was asked what he wants to do after Land of the Dead his replied was "I like to do another Creepshow movie" I guess Stephen King will be getting a phone call from an old friend any day now? If Creepshow 3 does happen what King short story's will be in the new movie if it happens?
As for the Creepshow 2,I always found it to be a good 80's movie full of dumb people,like the Indian teenage punk who thought he could get into movies because of his hair!and how many people would go swimming in a lake see a duck getting attacked and killed by something in the water and would not turn there butts right around and head right back to land!I would of.And that girl in the Hitchiker,what a dumb lady,she's cheating on her husband,she wakes up in her lovers bed to see the alarm clock blanking she panicks,gets in her car and trys to think of a lie she can give to her husband about where she's been"Lady it's so simple just tell him you could not sleep so you went for a car ride!" Then after she hits the Hichiker she gets terriozed by his ghost or Zombie? What ever the heck he was? Now how many people in there cars would be keeping all the doors in the car locked and the windows shut from a walking corpse?Not this dumb lady!And she keeps stoping! It seems like horror movies are always full of dumb people.Now Creepshow 2 is getting the Divimax treatment.How much better will the new version look over the previous version.I would like to see special features on Creepshow 2.I would like to know where that lake is in the Raft?I would like to go visit it,swim in it,then tell people I swam in the lake in Creepshow 2.I been to where they shot The Hitchiker,it was shut in Stephen Kings home town of Bangor Maine.Freinds of mine have wondered what was that thing in the Raft.Well in the short story version in Kings Book Skeleton Crew{I think that was the book?}The lake was on Government Land and that blob thing was a Science project for a war weapon,well thats what I think,it's been a long time since I read the story so I could be wrong?
