Creepshow

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.

It's not the first time this happens with series, the first episode looks amazing, and right from the second one, the whole thing changes, the production is cheaper, the whole product is different.. With this show in particular, I didn't mind so much because the episodes are unitary (actually, two stories by episode) I could enjoy the first one as a little movie and ignore the rest, as there's no story ark between them.

Still, after seeing how good the first episode was, excellent production, cool actors, lots of Easter eggs, simple but interesting stories, beautiful cinematography and great (surprisingly good!!) CGI, watching the rest was an absolute disappointment, in every aspect I named before.

It's a watchable show, I did watch the whole season, but some were quite bad and boring.

I can only recommend the first episode, and just imagine the series was all like this but just dream about it, skip the rest to avoid disappointment.

First episode reeled me in. Nostalgia is one thing that comes to mind. Easter eggs yes. Its definitely a throwback feature of the original first two. First half is meh. But the second half bravo. A perfect combo of childhood fear and Indian in the cupboard. No pun intended. With the brash overload of b movie horror movies. We now have a home on shudder with episodes to pop some pop corn and crack open some sodas and peel open the candy. If you don't like the original movies from way back dont write a review this is fanfare and hardcore horror film fanatics

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 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).
