Silly monster flick with lots of boobs and gore, a fun performance from Billy Zane, and Thomas Hayden Church getting his nipples hooked up to a car battery. Good times.

The TV show was great, this isn't

Billy Zane is amazing.

Way better than expected. Vastly superior to Bordello of Blood in large part to the fun gore and a surprisingly charismatic Billy Zane.

Great Splatter fun movie !

I liked it alot more when I was 12...(Yes, my parents let me watch this at 12...go cry about it). But, I watched it this morning and it's still in the mildly amusing category.

Locked doors, boarded windows, an eclectic troupe besieged by oncoming Eeevil. When approached with the right spirit, as here, these scenarios have a satisfyingly trashy charm. Sadler's always engaging, Pounder's earnest and Zane forgets that he's supposed to suck. Fun.

Billy Zane punches through a man's head and then some other stuff happens.

cheesy but fairly entertaining

boring.

Total guilty pleasure.

Perfect combination of horror and comedy. It knows when to be serious and when to be funny. Also has a surprisingly good storyline. Any horror or Tales from the Crypt fan should check this out.

Okay, it's a guilty pleasure, but I love it. Seriously though, unless you like cheezy horror, you should probably skip this movie.

The tits in this film rocked my 10 year old world.

i would have never thought that a tales from the crypt movie would turn out like this, which is pure awesomeness. the cast is definately good, and it's got a scary story that isn't completely stupid like most hollywood horror movies.

A truly entertaining and fun genre flick that features a really good cast, plenty of gore, and lots of excitement. William Sadler was one of the more underrated actors of the 90s, and a sequel is long overdue. I could easily see Jada Pinkett Smith carrying a movie like this, although you have to worry about diminishing returns.

I shouldn't like this so much, but I do

The book ends on the film were terrible! The film wasn't so bad though.

Billy Zane is incredibly wow, Jada is badass, and the effects are beyond B, and the mythos should have become a series.

Good

Supremely cheesy fun.

Cheesy fun with female nudity and gore...Something that is all too rare in American cineplexes these days.

When I was 13, I thought the backstory to this movie was the coolest thing ever.

Nice

There were a few fun scenes and Billy Zane is damn cool as the title villain. Unfortunately, the film suffers from terrible pacing; we have to hear a lot of bickering between the protagonists and suffer through many dull scenes before getting to the (rare) treats in-between. And Jada Pinkett Smith, the main hero, is about as inspiring as a wooden plank. She constantly looks surprised at everything, and has no charisma or even personality. Despite a few good points, it's sadly mediocre.

A Tales from the Crypt episode stretched out over 90 minutes, no more, no less. Skillfully but not artistically done.

Not good but not nearly as bad as you would think.

While not one of the top horror/thriller movies ever made, it was a good first transition for the Tales from The Crypt brand from cable to the big screen. Bill Sadler rocks as usual, with good supporting performances from Billy Zane and a host of others.

for a flick that never saw theatres, damn this was good. Great actors, amazing story and good special effects for the time. my only complaint is that this movie wasnt longer, nor did it spawn any sequels.
