Pretty Good

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Absolutely the worst movie.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Creepshow, directed by legendary George A.Romero, was one of the most fun movies of the 1980's, a decade that produced so much in the horror genre. For the sequel Michael Gornick takes the helm in what is obviously a lower budget film and only contains 3 stories - "Old Chief Woodenhead", "The Raft" and best of all, in my opinion, "The Hitchhiker", wrapped around by a fun animated Creep. Tom Savini makes a brief appearance as The Creep at the beginning and Stephen King also can be seen as a truck driver. Although the film does not quite live up to the original it is still a good, solid, and - importantly - fun anthology, A great companion to Creepshow.

This is among the best of classic movies that are light and fun to watch. This movie shouldn't be taken too seriously by our modern standards since it lacks the graphic qualities of modern movies.But that alone takes nothing away from this movie at all. Although its made of only 3 films, the plots are simple, direct and appealing. The humor is spot on coupled with a few gore here and there.I personally does not see any difference between this one and the part 1, I thought they were both okay. You can watch this one even if you have not yet seen the first one.Like i said earlier this is a light movie which shouldn't be taken too seriously, and anyone trying to watch it should just relax keep an open mind and just enjoy the ride.

Michael Gornick shows a lot of promise with CREEPSHOW 2; unfortunately, it's not enough to overcome a very bad script. The first episode in this three-part anthology, "OL' WOODEN HEAD," is the best written, but that's not really saying a whole lot. The second episode, "THE RAFT," seems rushed: very little time is spent building anything even remotely resembling suspense. This may well have had something to do with the weather where this one was shot: everybody in this segment seems to be on the verge of freezing to death. At any rate, Today's audience(s) can ascribe it all to the BP oil spill... The final episode, "THE HITCH-HIKER," is the least interesting because it's been done to death (most notably as an episode of the original TWILIGHT ZONE); Stephen King simply has nothing to add. Like Tom Savini with the 1990 remake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, Gornick rose to the occasion when he got a chance to direct; unfortunately, like Savini, it didn't pan out. More's the pity: both the 1990 NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and CREEPSHOW 2 have one thing in common: both are very well directed.

Three stories are featured this time, two down from the original which might have been one too long. A cheap animated wraparound surrounds the stories and is a far cry from the original. 'Old Chief Wood'nhead' has an elderly couple (Kennedy & Dorothy Lamour) running a small town grocery store that is nearly bankrupt like the town. Outside the store is a life-size wooden Indian statue that comes to life to seek revenge on a gang of idiots who kill the old couple. The second story is 'The Raft' that tells of four teenagers who swim out to a barge in the middle of a lake and get trapped on it because of a black ooze floating in the water. The ooze graphically swallows and devours the group one by one. The final story is 'The Hitchhiker' which features cheating wife Anne Lansing (Chiles) returning home one night where she runs over a derelict (Wright) in the road killing him. She panics and leaves the scene battling with her conscience. Soon the dead hitchhiker begins appearing on the road and then everywhere she looks. This terror filled ride home has the hitchhiker attempting revenge on Anne until the very end. The stories are from Stephen King again and George A. Romero wrote the screenplays but directing chores went to Michael Gornick Romero's cinematographer on the original and other Romero films. Gornick does a decent job but the stories just aren't as good this time around. Where the original could have lost a story, this one could have added one. The three stories seem one shy of a full load. The cheap wraparound animation and simple sets make you wonder if there were budget issues because the production is surly lacking a big feel. The gore is decent and the stories are certainly watchable if not entirely compelling. As an anthology movie, Creepshow 2 can hold its own, but compared to the original it is a bit of a letdown.
