DVD Reviews of Creepshow 2
DVD Review: Perfect for a movie halloween marathon.
Summary: 4 Stars
The vignette style of Creepshow means people can can walk in and out of the movies without any trouble. That said, don't watch Creepshow 3. It's bad. The first two are totally worth it.DVD Review: what can I say.... it's an old classic to me
Summary: 4 Stars
This is by far the best of the three Creepshows. 1 was ok, and 3 was disappointing at best. This one I really liked, especially since I remember seeing it as a kid. Perhaps that might make be slightly bias :)DVD Review: Terrific sequel!
Summary: 5 Stars
In a small town in Main, a young boy named Billy eagerly awaits for his copy of his favorite comic book "Creepshow". The Creep (Played by Tom Savini and voiced by Joe Silver) arrives with his truck as he magically gives him his comic and tells the viewer three ghastly stories. The first story "Chief Wooden'head" tells a modern supernatural western tale of revenge as two kind elderly store owners (George Kennedy and Dorothy Lamour) are offered a great deal by a rich Native American man which can promise them a good future, unfortunately three crooks murdered them as the store's wooden Indian comes to life for revenge. The second tale "The Raft" is about four horny college students looking for some sexual fun at a lake soon discovers that a mysterious man-eating oil-like goo terrorizes them on a lake of blood. Finally "The Hitchiker" deals with a a cheating rich wife (Lois Chiles) driving her way home from scoring with a gigolo accidently hits an innocent hitcher on the road and his spirit won't stay dead until he wants revenge.
Exciting sequel to the excellent 1982 cult classic from George A. Romero and Stephen King only this time Romero is writer with three stories that were originally intended for the first movie but never made the final draft. "The Raft" is the most intense and creepiest of the stories since it's based on a Stephen King short story as it's a nifty one with the idea of being trapped on a raft in the middle of a lake with a hungry blob like on "The Blob (1958)" wanting to eat you. "Chief Wooden'Head" is good but predictable with it's not-too realistic wooden indian but the kills are good and "The Hitchiker" is the best story of them all including with that memorable line the hitcher says "Thanks For The Ride Lady". Sure some of the animated wraparound story parts are cheesy but this movie is a solid sequel to a true horror classic that is worth watching.
This DVD contains excellent picture and sound quality wih cool extras like trailers, audio commentary, a featurette, Storyboard art, DVD-Rom: Original Screenplay, and Behind-The-Scenes Still Gallery.
DVD Review: story #2
Summary: 2 Stars
The raft is the best of the three. This is the only one that creeped me out! This is creephow right? Then why didn't the others short movies pull it off? Story #1 was more about teachin us a lesson of what goes around comes around, which is fine but make it scary. That silly story with Sephen King from creepshow one was more entertaining than this one. And that last story was just too predictable. So go with creepshow 1 first and if u do decide to try this skip to the RAFT it was scary, nasty, gory and downright disgusting. Picture being surrounded by the BLOB but it can't get to u cause its in jail but if u visit the jail or fall asleep where or when the inmate can get u. That's the raft! DVD Review: GREAT flick that brought back WONDERFUL memories!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been anxiously anticipating viewing this movie for a long time,once I finally figured out what it was called!!For decades after I first watched it,I and ALL of my life-long friends(and family)would often approach each other with a creepy sounding:"Thanks for the ride Lady,thanks for the ride!!" Everyone that I know of who's watched this,has found doing this to be HILLARIOUS!!Timeless and Hillarious,since we've been doing this so often,for so long!!Needless to say,the "Hitch-hiker"episode was fabulous..I also never forgot the"Chief Wood N head"episode either...I thought it was really clever to have a wooden Indian come to life and exact vengance upon some opportunistic bandits/murderers..BOY,I really ABHOR an opportunist!!(a relative or otherwise!!)I used to have a recurring dream/nightmare about that"blob"in the lake segment,with ME floating around on a wooden raft awaiting certain doom!!This movie is great thrilling/chilling fun for the entire family to enjoy!!
Description of Creepshow 2
What is it about hitchhikers that makes them such a sure-fire bet for horror? This question is addressed in the final segment of Creepshow 2, another Stephen King-George Romero collaboration. "The Hitchhiker" is the simplest and best of the three tales on display here, with Lois Chiles as a cheating wife who just can't seem to get rid of a hitchhiker... no matter how hard she tries. The collection gets off to a slow start with "Old Chief Wood'n Head," a sleepy story of Native American justice. "The Raft" is a passable teens-in-peril number, but it worked better on the page than on screen. Romero adapted the King stories but emphatically did not direct, which accounts for the drop-off from the kicky fun of the first Creepshow. King appears as a dimwitted truck driver--a foreshadowing of Maximum Overdrive? In any case, this one's for diehard fans only. --Robert HortonGeneral DVDs
