Creepshow

Saw an episode of season 1 and liked it so I subscribed to Shudder, then season 2 wasn't nearly as good but had its moments, Season 3 was painful to watch. The acting was never stellar but season 3 hit a new low in that regard for the series, but more importantly the stories just became simply not entertaining. It's fairly obvious they let a personal agenda take over the stories, and usually when that occurs it becomes more mockable than anything else. It's sad because I'm a fan of horror anthologies, and they ran this straight into the ground. I recommend season 1, recommend season 2 but it's more hit and miss, and season 3 is as enjoyable as the latest Twilight Zone.

The original Creepshow is one of my all-time favourite horror flicks, but after the disappointment of the Twilight Zone reboot, I was a little nervous about this one. Thankfully this one gets the anthology format right. For starters, the episodes are short and sweet. They're well-written/acted/directed, with plenty of atmosphere and a terrific sense of fun and the macabre. For fans of the first two Creepshow films, and Stephen King in general, there are easter eggs galore! I enjoyed the hell out of the first two stories (especially the doll house ep) and can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store.

I wasn't expecting much, but these first two episodes were actually quite fun; some cool practical effects, good casting, and some great little call backs and homages to the original 2 movies (Chief Woodenhead, Yellow mack of the hitchhiker...and more!). These episodes show that you can still entertain and dish out some creeps without having to chuck $$$$$ and endless jump scares (IT 2 I'm looking at you).

What is going on here? The writing and the production values are terrible in season two, though it's still pulling the star power of season one. I hope they just put the terrible episodes early in the season.

I recently got shudder so i could watch this series and the first couple of episodes didnt disappoint, i watched the original series when i was younger so was excited to watch the remake.

I would reccomend to anyone who loves horror and is looking for a series to binge.
