Creepshow Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Jerry Renshaw
Bringing in plenty of name talent, the anthology-style film is more fun than scary.
Horror Movie Talk
David Day
Creepshow is such an interesting and fun crowd pleaser; I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something "spooky" and fun.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Like other anthologies, the work as a whole is often dragged down by its weakest constituents.
Boston Globe
Michael Blowen
It's just too bad that Creepshow wasn't like a real comic book. You could skip the first four stories and read the finale.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Creepshow joins two masters of horror and proves that two minds are not necessarily better than one. In fact, it is hard to believe that either man would have made such a bad film working without the other.
Detroit Free Press
Jack Mathews
People who didn't experience the horrifying joy of E.C. Comics when they were children may find Creepshow a little dicey at times, but for the others, it was designed to provoke more laughs than scares. At that, it succeeds.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
There is a delightful undercurrent of humor in all of the sketches, and Romero's decision to use a journeyman cast heightens this aspect.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
The movie has the visual style of the E.C. Comics down pat... But it's what's contained within all this perfectly realized style that's the letdown.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Bob Lundegaard
I needn't have worried. Creepshow isn't very scary at all. Unfortunately, it also isn't much fun.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
Creepshow is too benign to be frightening and it is not enough of a howl to please those who just want to see a ghoulish comedy. It appears as if success may have spoiled Romero's talent for raw horror.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
The stories are all short enough that they're over before they start to drag. They may remind you, in fact, of those dark little tales that made up such television programs as The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, only more explicit.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
Creepshow, the result of a devilish and ultimately foolish pact between George Romero and Stephen King, wastes little time in showing that its premise should have been left under a stack of the old horror comics.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
Maybe it's the comic book feel of the whole film, but it was almost like the haunts of my youth having a class reunion, and it was fun.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
The treatment manages to be both perfunctory and languid; the jolts can be predicted by any ten-year-old with a stop watch.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It's an unabashedly juvenile junk movie... Most of the time Creepshow works, though. Ghouls will be ghouls, after all, and Romero, creator of the classic 'Night of the Living Dead, does push a mean panic button.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
The team-up of director George A. Romero with King was seen as a monumental summit; the movie that resulted from their collaboration is uneven, but its best bits hold up as well as anything in either master's canon.
Variety
Variety Staff
George Romero, collaborating with writer Stephen King, again proves his adeptness at combining thrills with tongue-in-cheek humor.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This 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-Times
Roger Ebert
Romero and King have approached this movie with humor and affection, as well as with an appreciation of the macabre.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Horror film purists may object to the levity even though failed, as a lot of it is.
