The most fun you'll ever have... being scared!

Creepshow



Directed by good ol’ George A. Romero and Screenplay by Stephen king (The shinning), and 80-90’s favorite makeup effects master Tom Savini .That sure had my attention.
The movie, based of a comic series, is a compilation of five short and creepy stories; each one is about 20 minutes long, and it captures the comic book style very well.

1. “Fathers day” is about an old lady, coming to visit her dead father’s grave on “father’s day” ironic enough that that lady killed him long time ago, why you ask? Because like most old farts he was an annoying douche bag.
There’s one scene that caught me unaware and made me jump in the air, and the ending is just amusing.


Caaaaaaake!


2. “The lonesome death of jordy verril” – Combines comedy and fear – which in this case is the fear of being overrun by plants, Stephen King himself performs as jordy verril – a dumbass farmer that finds a meteorite in his field, soon he’ll find out that you shouldn’t touch foreign objects from outer space…
It’s the shortest story, Stephan King is funny as hell, the thought of a serious writer that wrote the shining and many novels that acts like a dumbass is just hilarious, probably the most funny story of all 5 least scary, there are also scenes when he imagines how he’ll get rich from his discovery, that include a crazy old doctor, you just have to see, it will bust your ASS out of laughter.













from this...






To this...











3.“Something to tide you over” – This is a realy bizarre part of the movie , Leslie Nielsen which is well known from the “Naked gun” trilogy is playing a psychopath that trying to kill his cheating wife and her lover, and does it by burring them in the beach and make them choke to death from the waves of the tide.
If you ever wondered how Leslie Nielsen would act different than a dweeb cop, there’s your answer, he does a great job yet when I see that face I could keep myself from smiling, I've never thought Nielsen could be scary.
There’s a minor – stupid twist at the end, yet this is creepshow what did you expect?


4. “The Crate” – This is the point when I’ve started to fall asleep, A janitor finds a mysterious crate from the 19th century, and he tries to open it, of course it contains a crazy ass monster (that looks like a mutant gorilla), anyone that gets close enough get slaughtered, I don’t have much to say,, it’s boring and importunely it’s the longest story of all, however in the middle of it there are so random parts which are pretty funny, like when one of the main characters imagine he blasts the fuck out of his wife’s brain in their party, and all the guests clap applause him, ooookay.

5. “They’re creeping on you” – Wow, this is one sick part. Some old asshole that has a serious hygiene issue is having a minor bug problem, which becomes pretty serious.
I don’t have much to detail since this is another short story, yet this is definitely the most disgusting of all, probably one of the sickest scenes in a movie ever made. Bug haters - be very afraid.




So this is “Creepshow”, it’s not a masterpiece yet this movie is lot’s of fun for the horror fans, it has some great performances, very funny scenes of dark humor and overall you don’t see much of a movies such as this one, so if you want a fun, refreshing, and creeeeepy horror flick, this is the movie for you.
