Leave your thoughts about Creepshow.
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillCreepshow is special not because it's an extended homage to EC Comics (though that doesn't hurt) but what stands out is the way these shorts are captured in style that reflects their inspiration, almost eerily so. |
| VarietyVariety StaffGeorge Romero, collaborating with writer Stephen King, again proves his adeptness at combining thrills with tongue-in-cheek humor. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThis five-part film, based on the format of 50s horror comics, marks one of the few times George Romero has directed someone else's script (it's by Stephen King), and the results are only mildly interesting by the standards of his Dead trilogy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat they've done here is to recapture not only the look and the storylines of old horror comics, but also the peculiar feeling of poetic justice that permeated their pages. In an EC horror story, unspeakable things happened to people - but, for the most part, they deserved them. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanAs with any anthology film, some stories are better than others. Even so, there are no outright clunkers here, just five entertaining tales told with great style. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumA horror anthology not without its grisly charms |
| EmpireIan NathanGenuinely creepy, satirical and occasionally daft horror tales with a distinctly moral bent. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsCaptures beautifully the spirit of classic EC Comics. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonA certain measure of generosity and goodwill is necessary to fully enjoy this endeavor from director George Romero, since the stories by Stephen King aren't anything special. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergA darn good horror anthology, which is pretty darn rare. |
