Body Bags

Worth seeing for Stacy Keach in the second episode.

A horror anthology with two interesting shorts, and one decent but generic one, with a decent horror host. Worth a watch if you're a fan of horror anthologies.

Lots of fun. Carpenter was really great and both of his segments were solid. The weak point Hooper's which didn't work for me quite as well but it was still alright

There are those of us who just have it in our blood to need a cameo filled horror anthology primarily directed by John carpenter as the man himself guides us through with funerary dad jokes. The hair segment is truly a must see bit for anyone still on board after my first sentence. The other two less so, but still...cameos.

Fun movie with awesome horror movie cameos.

Really most of the enjoyment comes from Stacy Keach taking his bandages off.

Best points for the host himself (John Carpenter).

Not bad low rent "Tales from the Crypt" knock off. There's some fun to be had here and the stories are pretty good but the humor isn't funny and I found myself bored half the time.

A fairly unimpressive, but easily watchable horror short collection with some pretty neat appearances by some of the most famous horror directors of all time. It's hard to recommend a movie based on cameos, rather than entertainment, but for a horror lover, some of these cameos WERE entertainment.

The Gas Station holds up just because of its simplicity. Even Hair, which is mostly just meh, holds up when viewed as a short Twilight Zone styled story. Carpenter is a fun Cryptkeeper but the writing needed a jolt; the jokes aren't funny for the jokes, they're funny because it's John Carpenter being a ham. This probably would've grown into its own had Showtime given it a chance.

The audio mixing is surprisingly awful; the music drowns out most of the dialogue. What is this, Tenet? Body Bags is great for a game of Spot the Cameo. The first segment is a little too basic and brings nothing to the table. I found the second segment to be really funny; Stacy Keach is hilarious as the balding man desperate to get his hair back. The third segment is where Tobe Hooper steps in and delivers the best all-around short. Mark Hamill's performance is quite good.

Two interesting short stories dealing mostly with body horror issues and an irregular one about a clerk slasher seemed enjoyable but not great, while the cameos -- at least the ones I managed to recognize -- were fun as hell.

Campy low-budget fun with a very interesting cast. Unfortunately, spotting the cameos is more entertaining than the stories at some points.

Not my favorite collection of horror shorts, but definitely not the worst. The middle film is a lot of fun, but the wraparound and the bookend films are so-so. Points for having so many horror icons as cameos.

62.

Three short semi-comedic horror films combine into this entertaining look at the dark side. Some of the best in Hollywood come together to tell these miniature Shakespearian dramas in the Steven King style but with less perversity. In the drama of humanity versus death, death wins.

Failed attempt to launch a new horror series, Body Bags was made when its principal creators were seriously down on their luck, and it desperately shows. None of the stories are particularly good, but at least the one with Keach about an insecure balding man has some originality and a black sense of humour, which was presumably constrained by the TV format of the time. Carpenter is a likeable ham as the zombie mortician host, but there isn't much cause for celebration here.

This harbors enough horrific highlights to justify the price of an overnight rental.

Hair and Eye super creepy. The Gas Station's meh...

Fun horror anthology. Not too scary but entertaining with all of the stars and some comedic moments.

A must see for the horror fans.

Enjoyable. Hooper segment is tops

Good horror anthology starring John Carpenter himself as the "host" character in the linking sequences

The first story was the best yet I enjoyed the other two. I wish this had been a TV series as planned.

Fun for what it is. Creepshow style short stories with some decent names.

what a delight

Ó céus, o episódio do cabelo é sensacional!

The first segment was pretty good and I liked the wrap-around Carpenter bits, but the other segments weren't as good.

Amusing enough.

John Carpenter's hosting the anthology as a coroner was cheesy and fun. The first segment had a great setting that I wish was there for a feature length film. The second segment made me laugh many times until it made me gag. The final segment was enjoyable as well.

'the gas station' is an eerie highway slasher, 'hair' has a smile all the way through vibe and 'eye' explains what would happen if luke gained a sith hand

The Gas Station: 55. Liked the atmosphere and vibe. Hair: 57. Very funny. :) Eye: 34. Mark Hamill is a terrible actor.
