Creepshow 2 concludes on a seriously (and woefully) anticlimactic note.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 12, 2021

Creepshow 2 is certainly not as noteworthy or well-made as its predecessor. However, for a genre anthology featuring cohesive and subversive motifs... it's surely a gruesome little guilty pleasure.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 15, 2020

One of the many repulsive things about the film is the simple-minded moralizing that blights all three tales.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Nov 5, 2019

1987's Creepshow 2 never matches the heights of its predecessor, but those looking for more of the original's blend of throwback comic book chills and gory shocks should give this loving restoration from 88 Films a look.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2016

In the realm of anthology horror, you could do a lot worse. I'm looking at you "Tales from the Hood."

Aims to recapture the original's seamless pastiche (it's an imitation of an imitation) and fails. But it has an easily digestible, junky sense of humor about it.

The film does at least have a rich visual palette and some well drawn (if distinctly unfunny) animated sequences that play in between each segment. These factors are small compensation for everything else, however.

Whereas Romero's approach to this material is distinctly tongue-in-cheek, Gornick makes the mistake of giving the stories a straightforward treatment that merely heightens their inherent weakness.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 12, 2010

George Romero contributes the screenplay this time, basing it on some tastefully selected Stephen King morsels.

| Jul 12, 2010

Tied together with some humdrum animated sequences, three vignettes on offer obviously were produced on the absolute cheap, and are deficient in imagination and scare quotient.

| Mar 26, 2009

A satisfying follow-up that retains the same macabre yet spirited tone.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2008

Just as you can't judge a '50s comic book by its lurid cover, so you can't judge a cheapo, three-part film by its sources.

| Jun 24, 2006

It's filled out with a shoddy, animated wraparound sequence and it's all dropped in the hands of an inexperienced director, Michael Cornick.

If you already know and love Creepshow, the sequel's something you'll probably enjoy...in a Jaws 2 or Halloween 2 kind of way.

Ultimately, the hitchhiker's immortal catchphrase "thanks for the ride, lady" is just another way of saying "Yessuh, massuh."
