    Not a great follow up to the first film but it?s not without its fair share of gore, scare and comedy! The cartoon segments are a little poor though and the acting is awful but it?s an 80's horror film so that?s to be expected really. I?ve seen a lot worse!

    This movie scared the crap outta me as a kid!

    Almost as good as the original. It's not better in terms of style, but Creepshow 2 is way funnier than the first one. This movie is more of a laugh riot than anything else, and I mean that in the best way. It's not cheesy to the point where it becomes amateurish filmmaking, this ...( read more)director knew exactly what he was doing, using the cheese correctly making this into a hilarious little romp. He stays true to the idea of the original, and for the most part, he directs it with the same morbid texture, although not fully using the E.C. comic style as it's predecessor he still manages to pull off yet another fun and entertaining wild ride.

    Every horror fan should really see this movie. If you watch this expecting anything logical, in terms of being a smart and mature horror film, then you're in for the biggest disappointment. Like the first one, or better yet like most horror films(especially from the 80's), it's not meant to be taken seriously. Especially the second time around, cause the scares here are much more minimum, but not to worry. What it lacks in fright, it makes up for in hilarious morbid insanity. You'll have a damn fun time with this movie. I certainly did, and I liked it just as much as the first one, and for slightly different reasons too. The first Creepshow had more scares than it did laughs, where as this one has more laughs than scares. Both worked fine for what they did and severed us a delicious dish of maniacally macabre gruesomeness.

    I highly recommend this movie!


    Funny ass memorable quotes:

    Story 1: Old Chief Woodn'Head -

    "His old man bought my buddy here a Firebird man. A fuckin Firebird that's gonna fly us all to Hollywood"

    "This hair's gonna get me paid 'n laid!"

    "Over here lady."


    Story 2: The Raft -

    "Ooooh, mucho ecological, Poncho! Mucho ecological!"

    "I don't believe in Oil-slicks."

    "Pass the joint...pass the joint."


    Story 3: The Hitch-Hiker -

    "I...I ran over this guy, and over, and over, and over!"

    "Thanks for the ride lady!"

    "Hey buddy! What the fuck happened?..."
    "...Some guy got creamed, that's what happened. Happens all the time."



    I'm still laughing just writing this review...LOL

    Hey this was quite interestin when I watched it as a kid. I couldn't forget that guy fondlin that girl on the raft. This movie ought to be a classic. My favourite is definitely The Raft.

    A step down from the original!

    We get two-less tales and a cheaper framing story. Instead of the spooky wraith we had in the first one, we get a man wearing a rubber mask, and a cartoon about a bully-eating plant.

    Story #1 - A wooden indian gets revenge on a gang who killed...( read more) its shop owners. The deaths were great, but it got a bit boring and predictable. I hated seeing the old couple getting killed.

    Story #2 - Kids go rafting on a lake, and are terrorized by a horrible creature. This one was great and had me on pins and needles throughout; I'll never go "laking" again.

    Story #3 - A woman has a hit-and-run accident, and is haunted by the dead guy she ran over. This one's almost a comedy for the zombie's persistence.

    While it doesn't quite have the magic of the original, it is a very interesting collection of stories. "The Hitchhiker" and "The Raft" were the strongest, while "The Chief " felt like a filler. It has great campy acting in it, which makes it all the more fun. It's not Romero, but...( read more) it's not bad.

    Classic and fun-horror. You've got to be a moron not to appreciate the Creepshow movies! Ugh. It brings back some many fun memories of watchin them on tv as a kid and then sweating my butt off all night under my blanket. I'm still freaked out about going in a lake.

    Creepy. . . only word I can think of!!
  • July 10, 2009
    Uneven sequel lacks the star power of the original, as well as the material. The middle story is kind of weak, but the final short pays off well.

    It's a fun predictable ride.
