Creepshow

1982 • 120 minutes

À propos de ce film

Two macabre masters - writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero - conjure up five shocking yarns, each a virtuoso exercise in the ghouls-and-gags style of classic '50s horror comics. A murdered man emerges from the grave for Father's Day cake. A meteor's ooze makes everything ... grow. A professor selects his wife as a snack for a crated creature. A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror. A malevolent millionaire with an insect phobia becomes the prey of a cockroach army. Add the spirited performances of a fine cast (Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, E.G. Marshall and King himself) and the ghoulish makeup wizardry of Tom Savini. Let the Creepshow begin. MPAA Rating: R (c) 1982 Warner Bros. All Rights Reserved.

Notes et avis

This anthology of short stories is sure to give you a bad night sleep. From ghosts from the grave, to man eating monsters, this one has it all. Classic 80s TV style production and sound track. This is a real winner.

THE FILM IS LIKE WATCHING A LIVE ACTION COMIC BOOK. IT'S VERY ORIGINAL AND DARK, BUT THE THINGS YOU EXPECT TO BE SCARY TURN OUT TO BE THINGS TO MAKE YOU LAUGH. IT'S FUN TO WATCH, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO SCARE YOU.

If you were fortunate enough to grow up on EC comics during your childhood, you will quickly appreciate and admire the amount of dedicated homages Creepshow pays to those classic stories. Fast paced, witty writing, excellent animation and piratical effects; all wrapped up with the perfect bow called Horror. Are the stories presented here, actually scary? That is subjective. What is indeed fact though, is the amount of quality and heart put into this film. And 40+ years later, it still holds up.
