Not really scary for anyone over 12, but a decent amount of Fangoria-flavored fun. (Side note: I read the comic book adaptation of this movie long before I actually saw it, which is kind of poetic given what inspired the movie in the first place.)

Most of the episodes aren't very good. The one with Nielsen and Danson stands out, both because it's a thriller, not a horror story, and because it's actually pretty damn good. As an anthology the rest, flawed as they are, somehow become more than the sum of their parts. Watch it on Halloween. With the lights turned off, obviously.

What makes Creepshow a classic is the fact that it is blatantly not taking itself seriously, while still not straying into the realm of parody. It is this balance that makes the film scrape genius.

Allright, most of the stories didn't really get my blood pumping, but it's a decent timewaster if you crave some goofy and garish horror-y stuff. Worth a look for a crazy Ed Harris dance, Stephen King as a hillbilly, psycho Leslie Nielsen and a zombie that just wants some cake.

As some1 w/ nostalgic fondness for fun 80s horror & comics, I'm biased & think it's 1 of the best horror anthologies. It is great at mimicking EC comics esp in the story types (there's gross-out; outer space threat; monsters; & vengeful dead) but that also means quality varies & many twists aren't clever. Father's Day's lacks surprise & The Crate is just lame. The Tide is also infinitely more disturbing before the "twist". The standout is Jordy Verrill for its comedy & pathos

I'm not sure how anyone couldn't enjoy this, unless you're an ignorant, boring bastard. This embodies everything that was great about 80s horror, ranging from the camp and hilarious to the dark and unnerving. Every episode is enjoyable in a different way but two & three are the highlights (although the cockroaches are great in five). Stephen King and Leslie Nielsen are fantastic.

Creepshow was just an elaborate excuse for Romero and King to pay tribute to the E.C comics that influenced them. Like most horror anthologies it's a tad lopsided, but its purposeful style, gallows humour and grotesque sense of justice makes it memorable. The comic book aesthetics are seamlessly integrated, and the garish color schemes are bold and vivid. It's mostly played for laughs, but there is an eerieness to it that's hard to pin down, allowing it to transcend its cartoony origins.

Vivid and pulpy 80's horror with light and exuberant thouch. Kind of goofy and bizarre but even when the stories don't make much sense most of them are still decently creepy and/or amusing. Everyone is hamming it up to pleasant effect including the director George Romero and his lighting people.

A mixed bag - the fourth story is weak and overlong, the first is nothing special (though it does feature Ed Harris doing one of the goofiest dances ever). The second benefits from a hilariously hammy perf by Stephen King himself, and the third and fifth stories are very good (dig them cockroaches!) Romero's extra stylish direction holds it together nicely.

Hit-and-miss horror anthology gets off to a shaky start with the awkward FATHER'S DAY and pitifully amateurish performance by King in the second segment. However the remaining segments are genuinely creepy if occasionally overplayed (the Danson/Nielsen sequence has an amazing build-up that is somewhat negated by its overwrought and obvious punchline). Performance wise, Nielsen steals the show in a wonderfully malevolent performance, and Marshall is as effective as always in the final segment.

It's not an especially "classy" horror movie, but if nothing else, it's got uniqueness on its side. Just the number of interesting people involved is a good enough reason to watch it. George Romero, Tom Savini, Stephen King (who wrote AND appeared in it)... Well... I suppose you can read the cast list yourself. But still. Good movie. It probably won't disappoint unless you're expecting the next Dawn of the Dead or something.

Definitely more of an amusement than any sort of attempt at great horror (and it carries with it the erratic inconsistency that I feel essentially every single anthology film ever made in the history of the medium of film has), but a few of the shorts have a sort of memorable hook to them, whether it's cockroaches gone amok or getting buried up to your head in the surf or uncontrollable terraforming. The crate short overstayed its welcome for me; felt like it was half the entire runtime.

Not being much of a King fan it's difficult for me to get into this feature, but Romero does not disappoint. It's fun, scary and really embodies the tone of the original horror comics. Just the mindset of Romero is really there, most notably in the last chapter and that "shot" of Barbeau.

Romero is one of my idols. He's so awear of his craft and style, and is always so inspired in what he does, that his movies end up being the kind of pictures that can be both thought-provoking and/or highly entertaining. This certainly is an exception (and problably his second best, Night Of The living Dead being the first).

The Crate was one of the most terrifying stories when I was a kid. I had numerous nightmares about it. I do think that story should have ended the film, but there isn't a story in it that I didn't like. And they were all put together in a great comic book like manner.

A fun movie. "Something to Tide You Over" was the best of the bunch, and "The Crate" was good but too long. The other stories were mediocre, at best. It's fun to see some actors not generally known for horror- Nielsen, Danson, and Harris, specifically- in a horror flick, and the other horror vets are a lot of fun as well.

The movie is full of small parts by cool actors but the five tales are lacking. I didn't find any of them to be very scary or interesting. I enjoyed the effects by Tom Savini but honestly that was about it. I don't think this film has a lot in terms of rewatchability. If you want multiple scary tales to watch check out Trick R Treat instead.

Whereas Dawn of the Dead was Romero's production company entirely avoiding US financing by partnering with the Argentos, Creepshow was distributed by Warner Bros and financiers had someone on set to 'guarantee' production, costs, time etc, empowered to literally take over if they chose.

Watching this film must be similar to life as a deteriorating psychotic. At times the film swings between realistic & traditional filmmaking to sheer surreal, bizarre sequences and back with no resonance of the intensity endured. Ted Danson's piece had the most going for it till shit collapsed and sea zombies made themselves overly prevalent.

Nothing if not a homage to Stephen King. Unfortunately has the expected unevenness of anthology horror but does not outstay its welcome at any point because there are enough segments that you never feel as though you're suffering through any of them.

The most fun you'll ever have being scared? Nope. Probably not. This horror anthology inspired from the E.C. comics in the 1950's was pretty tame. Even Stephen King and George A. Romero couldn't muster up any real scares. I got to see a zombie old man just wanting some delicious cake, a backwoods horrible actor who also happens to be a writer named Stephen King and various other scenes that really don't deserve a mention...

The first 2 stories are stylish, but too straightforward; just A-to-B plots. The third is elevated by Nielsen's performance. The fourth is a nice short film and the last a great bit of storytelling.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and in much the same way an anthology film is only as strong as its weakest tale, which is why it's such a shame that "Creepshow" is made up of uninspired, brief, and thoroughly unegaging yarns, save for the lengthier segments during the films middle portion. It's not that "Creepshow" is poorly made, or badly directed, or uncommitted to replicating its schlocky comic book style to a tee, it's just that only half of the film is any good.

Personally, I was not a fan of the first two stories. They both felt rushed & half-finished. However, The Crate & Something to Tide You Over- the third and fourth stories- are really fun and pretty well-done, Crate in particular having lots of moving parts and a solid storyline. Overall, it's a decent anthology, but less than stellar.

It's not the worst I've ever seen, but it's kind of uneven and doesn't have all that much bite. Leslie Nielson's story was great, but besides that and an alright fourth story, it leaves a lot to be desired. That last story really bugged me though (pun intended). I just figured that King + Romero had to be a winning combo, but in the end, I was hoping for a lot more.

Never was much of a fan of anthology movies. They just end up being so lopsided that you end up wanting more of the good section and waiting for the duller ones to end. This one generally works throughout all the stories, but the Leslie Nielsen section and the story starring Hal Holbrook, basically revisiting his Natural Enemies character, are standouts. Wrapping it al around in a comic book was cool and I got a chuckle with the final voodoo doll gag.

Not sure how well this would hold up today but it used to terrify me as a kid! I was WAY too young to be watching Creepshow in the 90’s. At the time, the special effects had held up well. 8-year-old me didn’t understand this was supposed to be campy horror comedy. I took it with face value and still remember how I had to run back home whenever it got late and dark outside. Strange demons and curious ghouls always lurked in the shadows after watching these on my VHS set!
