Creepshow’s first pair of ghoulish tales so solidly nail what made the original so beloved (an unabashed sense of look-what-we-can-get-away-with fun) that it’s easy to get swept up in its own appreciation for the dark material. It might not all be perfect in the coming episodes, but it’ll certainly be a good gamble.
Shudder’s Creepshow bottles the original’s pulpy spirit, using the atmosphere and variety provided by shorter segments for an irresistibly macabre package.
I remember renting the VHS tapes of the original Creepshow and watching them with my family and friends. Well, this show felt like meeting an old pal, that time hasn't aged at all, but in the contrary, was made even better. I enjoyed every horror story and every moment of it. I hope there are many more seasons coming.
It was amazing from start to finish! Remember the old Creepshow and for me this has proved even better viewing! Hope they’re are more spooky tails to come!
Casual horror fans may not really get the appeal of Creepshow, but it's not made for them anyway. Horror aficionados, on the other hand, will find a lot to like.
With only one episode available, it’s tough to get a gauge of consistency, but the tone and aesthetic Nicotero is striving for, at least, fill my horror-loving heart with joy.
Only one episode was sent for review and it’s a mediocre affair, but anthology series are inherently going to fluctuate in quality and this horror fan will be checking out episodes to come for sure.
YMMV but I, for one, thought it was a hell of a lot of fun, just like the original movie was way back in '82. Perfect October viewing. Looking forward to improvements in season 2.
Oh, This Is Bad - I Mean REALLY BAD .. This new CREEPSHOW series should be avoided. The originality is non-existent. The production value is years below a standard community access cable production. The writing is atrocious. The performances are lackadaisical and stiff. This is yet another money grab from unqualified folk milking the Stephen King brand. My garbage even said 'When I grow up, I aspire to be just like this series.'.
