Like other anthologies, the work as a whole is often dragged down by its weakest constituents.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 8, 2024

Classic gruesome Stephen King pulp makes for one of the best comic book movies of all time.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 14, 2023

We aren't spared the expected gross-out special effects; it's just that Creepshow has been directed with wit and love for the genre.

| Aug 9, 2022

Romero is -- on paper, anyway -- an ideal director for a comic-book movie... [But] the mechanics of storytelling bog him down, and most of the time the formal style of Creepshow has him in a straitjacket.

| Aug 9, 2022

Creepshow offers five variations on the theme of horror comedy, but hardly any variety. It is a stodgy exercise.

| Aug 9, 2022

The spooky visions assembled by King and Romero are designed to entertain, not induce convulsions, and that may be the highest form of praise to attribute to a film of this genre.

| Aug 9, 2022

Creepshow offers a few jolts to the respiratory system and a few kicks in the funnybone, but it never begins to build or satisfy in any grown-up way.

| Aug 9, 2022

It's just too bad that Creepshow wasn't like a real comic book. You could skip the first four stories and read the finale.

| Aug 9, 2022

Creepshow joins two masters of horror and proves that two minds are not necessarily better than one. In fact, it is hard to believe that either man would have made such a bad film working without the other.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 9, 2022

People who didn't experience the horrifying joy of E.C. Comics when they were children may find Creepshow a little dicey at times, but for the others, it was designed to provoke more laughs than scares. At that, it succeeds.

| Aug 9, 2022

There is a delightful undercurrent of humor in all of the sketches, and Romero’s decision to use a journeyman cast heightens this aspect.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 9, 2022

It's written with a fair amount of wit and style by horror master Stephen King, and directed with energy and garish, comic book colors by George Romero.

| Aug 9, 2022

Like all films that unreel several barely related stories, Creepshow has its ups and downs. But most of what goes bump in the night, or slithers and crawls across this George A. Romero-Stephen King omnibus of five eerie tales, is delightfully creepy.

| Aug 9, 2022

For the most part, Mr. Romero and Mr. King strike a nice balance between laughter and horror, the horror coming almost exclusively from conventional movie shock techniques.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 9, 2022

The movie has the visual style of the E.C. Comics down pat... But it's what's contained within all this perfectly realized style that's the letdown.

| Aug 9, 2022

There’s a nice, dated quality to the vignette, like watching a festival of old Hitchcock 온라인카지노추천 melodramas.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 9, 2022

I needn't have worried. Creepshow isn't very scary at all. Unfortunately, it also isn't much fun.

| Aug 9, 2022

This is a film with a special panache -- a certain entertaining shamelessness about the extent that it will go to look tacky.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 9, 2022

For all its rotting corpses, seaweed-covered wraiths and toothy, hungry monsters, Creepshow is more creaky than creepy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 9, 2022

Creepshow is too benign to be frightening and it is not enough of a howl to please those who just want to see a ghoulish comedy. It appears as if success may have spoiled Romero's talent for raw horror.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 9, 2022
