Creepshow 3

Why? Why do I keep doing this to myself? Why do I buy movies before looking up reviews online?

I saw this in the store and said, "Oh, Creepshow 3? I loved the first one and the second one was alright, I'll pick it up."

Big mistake. BIG MISTAKE.

This film is atrocious. The acting is horrid and the stories are nonsensical. Being the masochist that I am, I actually sat through the whole thing. I almost turned it off when the story started with the doctor who was haunted by the street vagrant because he gave him, wait for it, a bad hot dog(I wish I was making this up). Luckily that was the final story of this abomination.

To all those out there even thinking about buying this because you liked the first two films, DO NOT BUY IT.

When I heard this was gonna be bad I didn't assume it was going to be terrible. 100% untrue to the originals. Most of the stories just become corny. Like the other review says they just don't explain anything. To me these stories seem like the 90s versions of the Twilight Zones. And the whole blending the stories together doesn't work at all. Shows that tarentino actually has some talent when you see it done so bad.

So heres the worst news. You HAVE to see this movie. its that bad. You just can't believe it until you see it. I don't know what else to say. if nothing else I got some laughs out of the movie. But a horror movie this is not.

Enjoy guys

5 tales the overlap characters and places but really not any true central theme was probably done to be able to use the same actors and locations to save some money. This is not horror, this is basic cable television movie horror. I have seen every movie anthology and probably watched every episode of Tales From the Crypt, Alfred Hitchcock, The Hitcher, Chiller, etc. so I think I know what works and what does not. I can deal with low budget stuff, I mean I still enjoy the original Outer Limits and Lost in Space, so the bad special effects didn't bother me. The acting is terrible for the most part, and the direction is very straight forward and really does nothing for suspense or atmosphere in any way. The major failing of this is the writing. The stories just aren't any good. No big twists or suprises. It really felt like a high school creative writing class. Some pretty good ideas that could be made into something with a lot of work and polish, but instead it was just shot without the rewrite. Quick example with the first short story. Why does the remote change her family? Maybe I can get by without an explanation. Why does it change her then? Why did the crazy guy change her? Why did he give the remote to her parents? They try to set the girl up as spoiled, so maybe he didn't like her. They never showed her being mean to him, so it is not well set up to why he would do this, and what is the ultimate point. Bad story and bad acting does this in. Skip it.
