Tales of the Creeping Death

A lot of effort and time has obviously gone into this film and I have to say well done to all those involved for such an achievement. I think the negative reviews come from people who have no idea how hard it is to produce a film and on a low budget and the dedication that is needed. Some of the stories are better than others, but that is usually the case with such anthology type films. I found it generally entertaining and the directors quirky sense of humour shines through once again. Still prefer Crispy's Curse though..... Part 2 please, 'Revenge of Crispy, The Fist Strikes Again'. You know it makes sense.

I have been a backer of low budget films in the past. Some came good, some ended in the bin. I have huge respect for the incredibly dedication it takes to raise the money to make any film and for that I have given it one star. Sadly this one proves that it takes more than a quirky sense of humour and the belief that one can do it. The second star is for the fact that John Williams has a sense of telling a story. Sadly the story he tells is poor. Also, any decent film has to have decent dialogue. The dialogue in every case (apart from bits of the wrapper scene between Harold and Goose) is shockingly bad. This is not helped by some truly appalling performances. I really want that hour and half back. Life is too short.

Overall a great little low budget anthology film. I've definitely seen worse, bigger budget films.

The linked scenes with Michael Socha and Andrew Redman are really well acted and scripted. Funny interaction between the pair, which comes across with the on screen chemistry.

There are parts of the segments that are slow paced and don't add much to the story. But, the segments themselves aren't over egged or too long, then it's back to Socha and Redman for an injection of humour. For me, the best story is the second one, imaginative, fresh and funny. Dean Ackerman is fantastic in this role.. I would love to see a spin off or full film just on this!!

There are some nice special effects throughout, most of the time. It doesn't have a big budget, but as long as you keep that in mind and aren't expecting CGI effects with perfect delivered lines. British produced horror with a splash of humour, well worth supporting in my opinion.

I had the absolute pleasure of watching this extremely well made movie. Not only did this film make me laugh a lot, it also had my jaw dropped on several occasions. From the opening scene to the last scene, I was totally gripped! Such a clever ending and a joy to watch. 10 out of 10 from me.

A well written script with some fantastic special effects.

Made on a very small budget A film not to be missed Great acting A film made with the help of the talented people of Stoke on Trent.
