DVD Reviews of Tales from the Crypt: The Complete Sixth SeasonDVD Review: It's as good as season 4 in my opinion. That is a GOOD thing. Summary: 5 Stars
Look Season 6 is known as one of the weaker seasons. I think in some episodes it lacks but on a whole season 6 is as good as season 4. It has quite a few classics.
Episodes
Let The Punishment Fit The Crime - A terrific way to start out. Catherine O Hara (The Home Alone mom) stars as a lawyer who while in a small town is charged with the most petty crimes and all of the punishments are severe. It's a weird episode. It makes no sense at all and is not even plausible but it is really great fun and is entertaining. Catherine O Hara is quite cool which helps out. 3.5 out of 4
Only Skin Deep - One of the best episodes of any season.. period. A man coming off a bad relationship (where he was violent) meets a masked woman at a Halloween party. Soon she takes him home. But he has no idea how truly eveil she is. There are no words to describe how good this episode is. It's dark, it's chilling and it's scary. The end is vicious and the whole thing keeps you in suspense. Great mystery here. Love it. 4 out of 4
Whirlpool - What started off as terrific soon turns weak in this tame and confusing tale. A woman has deja vu. Pretty much about it. Tales like this can be scary but this takes the comedy route and pretty much flops in my opinion. It's rather dumb. I was disappointed for sure. Not a boring watch at least. And it does have a Korman's Kalamity vibe. 2.5 out of 4
Operation Friendship - This is just terrible. Honestly this is by far the worst episode of the series. Yes even worse then The Pit (which I will review soon) . This is the most annoying episode by a mile. A man starts to ignore his imaginary friend when he meets a woman. The friend does not like it. It sounds pretty bad the way it plays out is even worse. The lead guy is the worst lead I have ever seen in any anthology series. Awful. Worse then a bad Tales From The Darkside. 1 out of 4
Revenge Is The Nuts - Okay this one is alot better. A evil caretaker abuses his blind inmates. But he may have messed with the wrong group. Good episode. It's not the best of the season or anywhere close but it's fine. I wish the ending would have had a little more of a kick. It seemed like it was going too but it ends on a meh note. Overall solid though. 3 out of 4
The Bribe - One of the best of the season. Terry O Quinn stars as a father who wants to get back at a local strip club. Why? His daughter worked there. I loved this one quite a bit. Great acting, a good ironic twist ending and a great flow. It is not really horror but this could be in season 2 IMO. A great episode. 4 out of 4
The Pit - This episode is known pretty much as the worst of the series. In ways.. it is. It's silly as anything and gets so far off the Crypt trail. It concerns two fighters with wives at each other's throats. The women then plan a death match for the husbands. It's is taken as a light piece of fluff and comes off enjoyable. The twist is laughable and the whole thing reeks "why did they bother?" But I was never bored and I get a laugh out of it. Either you will think of it as a guilty pleasure or despise it. 2.5 out of 4
The Assassin - One of the biggest surprises of the season. I expected nothing out of it and ended up loving it. Shelley Hack stars as a sweet housewife whose home is invaded by Assassins who want her husband dead. It's one fun ride I must say. The twist is easy to predict but it's fun. Everyone is enjoying themselves here and it shows. 4 out of 4
Staired In Horror - Awesome episode! We are really picking up. A convict on the run takes refuge at a old lady house. But he needs to beware... the stairs at her place has a curse. ... Okay I know. The plot sounds bad. But there is so much more to this episode. It really works. D.B Sweeney is perfectly casted and Rachel Ticotin is terrific. Plus in my opinion the final twist is one of the most memorable of the season. 4 out of 4
In The Groove - Pretty good. A shock radio host somehow needs a rating boost. He gets a new co partner and soon a murder plot is set in motion. Okay this one is fine. It had way more potential then the end result. The end is the weakest part as you are hoping it leads up to something good. Sadly it does not. But I enjoyed it and Miguel Ferrer was great. 3 out of 4
Surprise Party - Almost a classic but not quite. A man inherits a place after he kills his father. Well the land has a bad past. This is not gonna end well. Okay this episode is actually really stylish. The car scenes are great! But there is something missing. I cannot place it. It feels like a good Creepshow segment. It has a good twst and a solid ironic end. 3.5 out of 4
Doctor Of Horror - Amazing episode. A evil doctor is trying to get the souls of the dead and hires 2 nightmen to hlp him out. This is really off the wal and colorful. It's a blast to watch and the acting is good. It is a little disturbing and weird. Plus the finale is gruesome and memorable. This one just works on every level. 4 out of 4
Comes The Dawn - Great. This concerns poachers who are hunted by vampires in Alaska. Michael Ironside stars and you always get quality from him. This episode feels like a solid pre dater to 30 Days of Night. Imo it is much better. It has a great 2nd half that has a season 3 feeling to it. It's not reall gory but it does come across more gruesome then it is. Solid episode for sure. 3.5 out of 4
99 & 44/100% Pure Horror - The name of this episode 0_0 but incredible from start to finish. Seriously this is fantastic! A woman kills her husband for firing her. He is a soap maker and she wants to use it. She will regret it. I know soap sounds off the wall but it really works and it's quite original to boot. The last scene of this episode will stay with you. An overall minor masterpiece for Crypt. 4 out of 4
You, Murderer - This kinda falls flat sadly. It's by the great Robert Zemeckis but he looses his footing here. A man gets plastic surgery and comes out looking like Humpphrey Bogart. And his ex wife wants to kill him. Okay I am not sure why this one flops a bit but it does. Now it does have great style, and it is memorable for the digital use of Humpphrey. But in 2011 it looks quite bad. But for the time it must have been fantastic to see. Totally ahead of it's time. But I just think the story should have been stronger. One of the best parts is the Crypt keeper open. 3 out of 4
See some of it is a mixed bag but on a whole it's amazing. BUY
