So I watched the first season of the Creepshow series (now free on Amazon Prime, but not S2 or the holiday special).


Pretty good. A bit inconsistent but there are highlights.

Greg Nicotero is the driving force behind the series. He is most known as the producer, main director, and special fxs supervisor for The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, but his start was as a special fxs student to Tom Savini on the Romero's "of the Dead" movies. But, as is standard in such series, several directors divide the series tales.

The episodes (worst to best):

#12: Bad Wolf Down (Episode 2/part A)- Several WW2 allied soldiers fight their way into a isolated house. There they find dead Nazis and a French lady locked in a cage. It turns out the lady is a werewolf. As Nazi troops close in, the allies take drastic measures.
My #2 fav horror movie actor Jeffery Combs (behind only Bruce Campbell) plays the senior Nazi officer, but I still disliked this sloppily put together story. They try to do too much, too quick and it makes for a rushed experience with little viewer investment in the story or characters. A bit of a waste.

#11: Night of the Paw (E5/A)-
A take off of the Monkey's Paw legend. A murderess gets in a car wreck and wakes up in a mortuary. Her "savior" is a weird guy who tells her a tale of the paw he found.
Not horrible, but convoluted, and not particularly intriguing.

#10: Lydia Layne's Better Half (E4/B)-
A high powered CEO is stepping down and chooses a guy as her replacement, which pisses off the other candidate, who also happens to be her lesbian lover. They argue and the CEO accidently kills her lover (falls onto a trophy which embeds into her skull).
Instead of doing what any normal person would do and call an ambulance, CEO lady instead decides to smuggle the body out of the highrise and stage a faje car wreck. Elevator gets stuck, hijinks ensues.
The whole decision making process of the "antagonist" hurt this one for me.

#9: All Hallows' Eve (E3/A)-
A group of kids go around town terrorizing families. It becomes apparent that supernatural forces are at work.
This is basically if the movie Trick 'r Treat followed around the kids who were drowned on the bus.

#8: The Companion (E4/A)-
A kid flees his massive asshole abusive brother and hides in an deserted, isolated house. There he finds suicide victim and a note explaining how he had created a scarecrow companion that kills people.
Creepy feel but doesn't really go anywhere imo.

#7: The Man in the Suitcase (E3/B)-
Strange story about a college kid who grabs the wrong suitcase at the airport, and discovers a guy pretzelled up inside of it. He spits up $500 gold coins whenever he is in pain. The kid's friend and girlfriend convince him to torture the suitcase guy to get bank. But it turns out the suitcase guy ain't what he seems!

#6: By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain (E6/B)-
A girl, her boyfriend, and her young brother find the body of a Loch Ness type monster while fleeing her abusive stepfather.
Not bad but not too much happens.

#5: Skincrawlers (E6/A)-
A weight loss guru discovers that a rare species of leeches eats fat. As they prepare to open their business to the world, an eclipse occurs which affects magnetic fields, and the leeches freak out to great gore fxs.
Some decent funny moments, and lots of blood and slime.

#4: Times is Tough in Musky Holler (E5/B)-
Assholes in a town weaponize zombies during worldwide Z-pocalpyse so they can seize power and become even bigger assholes to everyone else. Eventually the other citizens have had enough and use the zombie weapon methods against them. David Arquette is in it, for whatever that is worth at this point.

#3: Grey Matter (E1/A)-
A Stephen King adaptation of one of his Lovecraft influenced tales.
A kid goes to a local store in a fading town during a major weather event to get beer for his dad, who is seemingly mentally falling apart, and physically changing. The store owner sends the 2 guys hanging out in the store to check up on the dad. It gets "slimy".
This one has some star power with Adrienne Barbeau as the store owner, and Toben Bell (Saw) and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) as her 2 friends.

#2: The House of the Head (E1/B)-
A young girl gets a fancy dollhouse to play with but it seems to be "haunted" (infected?) with a disembodied decomposing monster dollhead that terrorizes the doll family living there. She tries to help by buying other dolls (policeman, native american warrior, military, etc) to little affect.
I really liked the use of the dolls with the cuts to changed positions and expressions to show the events in the dollhouse. It is genuinely creepy.

#1: The Finger (E2/B)-
DJ Qualls plays a lonely guy who finds a deformed finger outside of his house. He mistakenly discovers that the finger sucks up matter and regrows, eventually becoming a creepy little monster pet. When DJ gets pissed off at someone for the injustices in his life the monster takes things into his own hands and "corrects" the situations!
I certainly didn't expect my fav to be a character study starring DJ Qualls but here we are. I didn't even know the guy could actually act! But he does a great job of it.

Overall, worth a watch for fans of short story horror series such as Tales From the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, etc. etc. I'll go 6.5 out of 10.

Truthfully, my #11 through #8 picks could be interchangeable, as could my #7 through #4.

Anyone agree or disagree? Let me know which episodes you liked or disliked.

Sweetheart (2019)


This film is a pretty simple & effective creature feature. The suspense was decent for how thin the plot was, relying solely on the creature. I loved the way they first made it appear in the flare scene. Pretty badass intro, and an immediate escalation of suspense. I did not watch the trailer beforehand (just read the synopsis) so that helped my case, because I really didn't know what I was in for. The synopsis only stated "dark forces that come out at night". I did, however, become immediately annoyed with the filming of said creature. Instead of giving us a clear shot of it, we get obscured glimpses & dark silhouettes... Sort of frustrating when some of the scenes were deliberate to bring the creature out into focus, and yet the director didn't feel the need to show it? It wasn't for a lack of budget as the creature itself was very well made (makeup/latex monster). I don't think giving us a better glimpse of it earlier on would have detracted from any suspense. Just a quick 1 look would have been good enough to strike fear. The sound fx for the creature were awesome.

There were a few oddball plot strands that didn't get explained. The blood on the boyfriend's pocket knife & the blood in the raft implied that some foul play occurred. And I don't know if that was supposed to be linked to the 2nd body that washed up on the island? Could have used some follow-up on that. Also the previous visitor photographs should have been more honed in on for better effect. They went with a really simple breadcrumb route there, but I don't feel like that really instilled any feelings of dread like they attempted to do. The climax was one of those "go for broke" scenes, which from a screenplay standpoint was a tad farcical. And there were multiple chances in that scene for the creature to rip her guts out (or at the very least maim her) but it didn't, so yea it definitely had a staged feel to it.

The lead role did about the best job you could do with limited dialogue and most scenes are well framed. It had a pretty nice 80's sci-fi style score too. There was some character stupidity, but it was semi-passable given the context of being stranded. Fighting for survival from multiple external forces, both circumstantial & existential, would make it very difficult to make well-thought-out plans. I think the only scene that could have been done "smarter" was the hammock scene. I'm fairly certain the framed shot looking down from the hammock was supposed to make it appear higher up than it did. But to me it only appeared that she hung that hammock around 10-12ft off the ground. She might as well have just hung herself up by the feet & rang the dinner bell like she did to that shark by the tail fin.

Overall this movie was a decent watch. It's an incredibly thin plot and fairly predictable as a result. It has some readily apparent weaknesses mixed with some plot holes, but it was good enough for what it wanted to achieve. Could have used a bit more gore to achieve more shock factor.

BM: 0/10

Effective creature feature... 7/10

I just watched this one, and I really enjoyed it.
Was it perfect? No. Was it effective and well-done? Yes.

@FaCe-LeE-uS quoted review above covers most of the details, so I won't go into it explicitly. I will say that I kept expecting the lead to do stupid shit instead of actual smart survival actions, but she generally was pretty good.

My nitpicks:
*They showed that the island was probably 4 or 5 miles in diameter. If a creature is coming onto the island off of the west shore every night, then I am immediately making camp on the other side of the island, as far away as possible, or at least any possible highground inland.
This point goes double when they do try to escape. Start in the early morning from THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND instead of going directly over it.
*She tries to escape by "stealing" the raft, which is a bit morally shitty considering what she was leaving the others behind.
If it was me, I would be weaponizing and planning defensive attacks instead of going out on the raft which in the long run is quite possibly as dangerous as just facing the creature.

These seem like big mistakes but they didn't ruin the movie for me. All of her other basic survivor skills are pretty decent. She smartly scavages items with real waste. She chums water to attract bigger fish. She uses bones to make sharp weapons. She does a decent job of concealing herself. She doesn't waste much time. I was generally impressed compared to most similar type movies.

I'd actually rate this as a 7.5 to 8 out of 10. Enjoyable and well done imo!

Note in regards to Sweetheart post:

My brain was nagging me and I couldn't figure out why........then I re-read the post with greater concentration, and.........

..........I meant that they showed the island was 4 or 5 miles in radius, not diameter.

Carry on!

Are there some Phantasm fanatics in here?

I have heard that this is go great and all that. I just watched the first one and I left like '....wtf.' The music was cool, the acting as laughable at times, the effects are what they are, not like I expected incredible effects from the 70s. Scrimm totally looks the part though, he definitely pulls of the creepy, menacing figure. The way he walks is so strange, yet intimidating lol, not sure I ever commented on someones walk before.

Anyway, it was not what I expected, plus the ending really twisted up what the hell I thought was happening lol. So I figure the Tall Man is an alien or an interdimensional being of some kind, given the portal room. I honestly don't really know what to think right now.

 

[Blackshirts BLVD]

I also watched Splinter right before Phantasm. Splinter wasn't bad, the acting is decent, the body effects are pretty fantastic with the lone exception of the CGI monster towards the end, but that is only for a split second, the monster is made with pretty sweet practical effects throughout most of the movie.

For a biology Phd, I didn't think that guy was very bright. A lot of the plans I felt were pretty dumb, but whatever. Simple movie that doesn't try to do too much and has good, modern practical effects. The sewing-like effect with the intestines or whatever it was (don't really remember) with the cop on the roof was pretty cool.

5 to 5.5 out of 10. Decent.

I have a special spot in my heart in regards to Phantasm.

It isn't particularly well done overall. The acting is hit and miss at best. The fxs are cool but hindered by the budget/time period. To top it off, the story makes little sense and is generally batshit crazy.

But some parts are great!
*Angus Scrimm as The Tall Man was a f'ing legend! RIP Angus.
Note: Angus Scrimm was a Grammy winner! Well, for his liner notes but a Grammy winner nonetheless.
*1971 Hemi 'Cuda! Just an awesome mod.
*Some view the batshit crazy story as a negative, but for me......thumbs up on the weirdness.
*#1 positive was the flying spheres (flying balls sounds....well, you know). They were (and still are) so innovative and just plain awesome.

Getting back to the story: A 6'9" super strong alien(? or demon, or other dimensional weirdo, or whatever) becomes a mortician. He then captures people's souls(?) and re-animates them in their dead bodies, which turns them into chattering violent dwarf monsters(?) Oh, and he captures them by killing them with the weaponized metal balls that fly around patrolling the area, OR by morphing himself into a hot chick and seducing and screwing men in the graveyard(?!?) A few of the dwarves he keeps around but most are transported to a desert-like dimension through some vibrating metal posts where they are apparently used as slave labor??? Also don't forget that he physically manifests in mirrors, then breaks them and pulls people into them, and his disembodied finger turns into an insect?!?

It makes zero sense, and I loved it back in the day (I still enjoy it but my admiration is a slightly tempered now).

Part 2 feels like it is almost a remake of the first story but in actuality it is a continuation. Worth a watch if you at all enjoyed the first one.

One last positive: Reggie's majestic skullet!

lol

So I gave it some thought, if I look at it like an hr and a half long short, it is more fun because I am not expecting to understand character or plot motivations lol.

I am typing this as I am watching the ABC's of Death 2.5 lol. I wish I knew someone around here that could do gore, blood, effects and make up. I would love to try my hand at directing a short. Not saying I'd be any good, but I would like to try my hand at it.

Any of you guys listen to any horror podcasts/storytellings? A lot of time I will lay in bed for a while before I get tired, so I started listening to Campfire Radio on Spotify while I unwind in bed. It is a radio theater, I loved listening to radio theater as a kid, so this was an awesome find. Storytelling is one thing, but theater is much more fun even if it is only audible. None of the stories are terribly graphic or anything, but they are fun for what they are and it sounds really good, they even recommend listening with earbuds for the full experience. Anyway, fun times.

Nailed it. It's a great movie for its time & the culture of the 70s. Nostalgic.

Phantasm was made during an era when logical plotlines weren't of importance and it was more about presentation..... & slashers/monsters! It plays a bit slower than most monster movies, but it is clever & very unique. Creepy atmosphere, memorable score, a fantastic villain, and a general lunacy surrounding everything has all the makings of a cult classic! One-eye Angus is about as iconic as it gets! When I think of some of the first movies that overly abused the jump scares I think of this one... But it was passable at the time because it was all around entertaining! Muscle cars & cemeteries! Used to have a poster of that Hemi 'Cuda... Badassery!

It's impossible for most people to really love that movie if they are watching it for the first time now. (That goes for tons of old movies I guess)

You have to remember, this came out 20 years before the "world wide web" even existed to the masses.
And back in the day ..it was really huge with just high schoolers & young adults. The plot was just so different and freaky than any other horror movie. We would talk about it endlessly when I was like 16.

Guys in school would love to draw that ball with spikes flying in the air .....they had a lot of free time since cell phones were still science fiction.

I watched it for the first time in the mid 90's when I was a kid at a drive-in theater. Even with technological advances it was still a gem at that time.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, I definitely need to catch up on season 2. The doll house episode was my favorite. Even the bad ones had me intrigued.

I wish we could see more like this. I feel like this formula (Creepshow, Twilight Zone, Takes from the Crypt) 1 off quick hits ate so good for horror. So many horror movies that we've covered here have the same flaw which is they had a 20 minute idea that they stretched to an hour and 20 minutes. A lot of times less is more. Take a good idea, flesh it out for what it is and make it a highly entertaining 20-30 mins instead of hitting us with filler nonsense.

We are agree on The House of the Head. I have it as #2 but was essentially a coin flip between it and The Finger for #1. It was very well done, and the expressions on the doll Smithsmith family were often both funny and disturbing.

I also am interested in Season 2 (and the 2 specials) but I'll have to wait until it comes out on Amazon (persumably) as I don't have Shudder. Nicotero directs several episodes in S2 as he did in S1 but he brings in several new directors for the season.

Wait........WTF?!?

I'm all for another movie but the blind guy is the good guy now?

I feel a little bad for the character considering what he went through before he started the kidnapping and turkey baster escapades but I am concerned for the orphaned girl in this one. I assume he will be portrayed in a good light in regards to that but I'm still worried about what happens to her when she starts dropping eggs.
