  Loved the first, and loved this one too. Not sure which I like better, considering I saw the original over a decade ago. I believe through the years, this one will be more memorable to me though, with the blob-like water creature and the hilarious sequences of "Thanks for the ride, lady!" followed by a scream several times.

  A really poor collection of 3 short horror stories. All looking very outdated and silly, the acting is terrible apart from George Kennedy in the first story. The 2nd and 3rd stories barely have a plot to mention. The animation inbetween is rather poor as well, should have stuck with Tom Savini in the mask, rather than the cartoon. There are much better horror anthologies out there!

  Stephen King and Romero are back for more tales of terror hosted by 'The Creep', again the film is bookended by a short story that starts off as live action but then transforms into that eerie cartoon style that looks so good in the Creepshow films. The stories again are a mixed bag this time not with quite as great a cast line up as before but we do have George Kennedy this time :) First up is a story of an old wooden Indian Chief statue coming to life to get revenge on the youths who killed the old owners of a general store where the Indian is on display. Kennedy is in this story and it is a good one with a nice revenge plot but it is predictable, nice effects on the wooden Chief though. Second story is slightly better than the first with a group of teens stuck on a raft in the middle of a lake because an oil slick type monster that is devouring them one by one. Nice spooky idea that, despite the monster looking like a flat pancake floating on the water, works well especially effects wise when the teens are sucked under by the creature. Last story is the weakest and simply involves a woman hitting a hitchhiker with her car and the hitcher coming back to haunt her for the rest of her journey. Pretty lame predictable plot which must have inspired 'I What You Did Last Summer'. A slightly better selection of short stories over the original minus the good cast but still nothing really outstanding or as memorable as 'Twilight' or 'Darkside', still I must admit I like this old Creepshow flicks very much, love that 80's US halloween style.

  The segment with the lake partying teens is a favorite of mine. I watched it as a child and it left an impression. As an adult Ive re-watched it and found it wonderfully campy.

  I had heard terrible things about this film and that it didn't hold a candle to the original. Many people said the film was lame and not worth watching. I enjoyed the first Creepshow film, and it by far one of the best horror anthology films in the genre. But after reading reviews of this sequel, I was skeptical about seeing this film. I was shopping at Walmart one day, and I saw this film for 5$ in the bargain bin, so I figured what the hell? I watched it that night, and came out fairly surprised. For me the strongest stories in the film are The Raft and The Hitchhiker. Both stories are terrific and amusing. Creepshow 2 is a step down from the previous film, but manages to still be entertaining. The stories presented here are average entertainment. The first of these tales is probably the weakest one in this anthology. The second and third stories like I've said are the best, but considering the first film is so good, this sequel is inferior and disappointing. However it's not bad, but compared to the first film, it leaves the viewer with a lot to desire. Also considering the cast involved in the first Creepshow, the cast assembled for this sequel is disappointing. Despite all of this, this is an entertaining bur flawed sequel that does manage to amuse the viewer despite the fact that the stories could have been a bit better.

  Although it's not as good as the first, it's still a very good anthology horror movie, and I really liked it. If you loved the first one, you should see this one too. The stories are very interesting and scary, and the cast is interesting too. I highly recommend it.

• Randy T

  
  "The Raft" is by far the best of the three 'tales of terror' here. I've never been a big fan of sequels, but it's easier to swallow with episodic horror films where each story stands (or falls) on its own merit.

  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 it's not bad.

• Anthony L

  
  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!

  Good 80's B-grade horror. Enjoyed it. Those teenagers on "the raft" were so stupid they deserved what they got! LOL.

  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 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 <a href="http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm89/JDHallowEEn/?action=view¤t=Hitchcreepshow2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm89/JDHallowEEn/Hitchcreepshow2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

  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 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.

  In this horror and terror film based on short stories by Stephen King and a screenplay by George Romero are so scary to me than the original. But one of three tales, <i>The Hitchhiker</i> is the best I ever liked featuring Lois Chiles as a hit-and-run driver.

  "Creepshow 2" is a pretty enjoyable horror anthology that features some gruesome surprises.The first tale "Old Chief Woodenhead" is about a wooden Indian statue outside a small general store which comes to life when some local youths kill the elderly couple during the robbery. This story plays like a routine slasher flick with the statue as the killer.The special effects are excellent and there is a good amount of gore.Unfortunately the script is predictable and the acting from the younger cast is unconvincing.The second tale "The Raft" is about some teenagers who,whilst hanging out on the raft,are slowly eaten by a blob-like creature which lives in the lake.This story is fast-paced and appropriately gruesome with truly satisfying climax.The third tale "The Hitchhiker" is about a woman who does a hit-and-run on a hitchhiker and thinks she's got away with it,only to be confronted with the dead hitchhiker numerous times down the road.This story offers plenty of scares and the hitchhiker is hilarious with his incredibly funny line 'thanks for a ride,lady'.All in all if you enjoyed the first "Creepshow" give its sequel a look

  Pretty much a complete waste of time; a blandly directed, incredibly badly acted and not even well written anthology of three short stories, strung together with piss poor animation sequences. <p>The first story, <i>Old Chief Wood'n Head</i> is a ghastly, cliche, unfunny and unscary tale of Native American justice, and features the worst performances. Next up, and little better, is <i>The Raft</i> which concerns four horny teenagers (though they look like they're in their late thirties) stranded on a, ahem, raft in the middle of a lake, whilst a malevolent puddle-thing that looks like a cross between puke and diarrhoea picks them off one by one. There are no surprises, bad gore effects, worse acting and the ending, presumably supposed to be shocking, is unintentionally hilarious. The final story, <i>The Hitchhiker</i>, which is also the most successful - though not by a long stretch - stars the rather repugnant Lois Chiles as an adulteress who mows down a hitchhiker and does a runner, only to be continually pursued by him over and over. <p>The back cover of the DVD (which for some reason I bought, and so will probably end up on eBay at some point) has a quote from the New York Daily News "<i>as scary as anything you're apt to see!</i>". Populated by some exceptionally dumb characters, pathetic 'acting', awful gore (tomato ketchup is chucked about liberally to little effect) and directed by a hack, the only thing scary about <i>Creepshow 2</i> is that Stephen King and George Romero are associated.
