Amazon.co.uk Review

Inspired by the controversial E.C. Comics of the 1950s--which also provided the title and inspiration for the popular Tales from the Crypt TV series--director George Romero and screenwriter Stephen King serve up five delightfully frightful stories. Utilising comic-book panels, animated segues, and exaggerated lighting and camera angles, Romero and cinematographer Michael Gornick come very close to replicating a horror comic in film format. The results mix fine acting with the morbid sense of humour and irony that made the E.C. books so popular in their heyday. Actors such as Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Ted Danson, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, E.G. Marshall, and even King appear in the stories, which include tales of a sinister father's day celebration, a mysterious meteor, seaweed-draped zombies, a monster in a crate, and a cockroach-phobic millionaire. Fiendishly fun fare from one of horror's most famous directors. --Bryan Reesman

Synopsis

A collection of five tales of terror from the pen of Stephen King. Creepshow includes such strange dementia as beachfront psychopaths, visitors from the grave, and meteors which grow on people.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Creepshow' FINALLY given the royal DVD treatment , 5 Nov 2007

By	Erik Van Sant "King of Cheese" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

'Creepshow' is the best horror anthology ever put to film. It even beats out the original 'Tales From the Crypt' (which is a close second). For almost ten years, fans of this fantastic horror film have had to live with a barebones/crap-transfer DVD. Now, unfortunately not in the States, but in the U.K., a fantastic 2-Disc release with wonderfully ghoulish extra features.

The standouts on this release are definitely the incredibly gorgeous transfer/deleted scenes/'Just Desserts' documentary, and Tom Savini's priceless video diary of the effects for the five films.

For my money, it doesn't get better than watching Savini punch hair into 'Fluffy', the crate monster. And there's so much more.

This is a must-have for any horror fan. The best release of 2007 in my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Creepshow (2 Disc DVD) - The Lowdown., 2 Nov 2007

By	Mr. R. V. Ennis "bumblebert" (Liverpool) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Firstly I'm not going to bother reviewing the film itself. If you're taking the time to bother to read this you're already probably (like me) a complete Creepshow obsessive.

Im going to focus on the DVD itself:

PICTURE
Firstly the film is presented in widescreen. The American import DVD included a widescreen version of the film on one side and an "unmatted" version on the other that had more vertical picture information. The widescreen version is the correct ratio and was how the film was seen in theatres. The picture is greatly improved on the previous edition. Much sharper and clearer though their are marks and scratches on the negative itself which are not too distracting and acceptable for a film of its age.

SOUND
There is a 5.1 sound option which I can't comment on as I don't have the right equipment. The stereo track is clear giving clear dialogue and vivid music.

EXTRAS
This is what really makes the release. There is a feature length (90 mins approx) documentary, which is good but would benefit from more of the stars being in it (Ted Danson, Leslie Nielson) and Stephen King's absence is keenly felt. The deleted scenes are taken from the workprint of the film and do not include (as rumoured) the sequence with Ted Danson's hand coming off or Adrienne Barbeau's characters head coming out of the crate. The commentary is decent but suffers from the moderator being too jokey and he actually interrupts Romero and FX man Tom Savini at times.

OVERALL
An excellent DVD release which, though it feels ungrateful and petty to say so, could probably have been a little better. Still a great effort though and the best release we're likely to see of what is pretty much an obscure film. Thanks for reading...

5.0 out of 5 stars Let the show begin!!!, 15 Oct 2007

By	Ghost - See all my reviews

Stephen King and George A Romero, horror's finest, collaborate to churn out arguably the best horror movie ever made. A miserable old millionaire returns from the grave to seek revenge against his greedy offspring ~ a jealous husband rises from the depths of the ocean bent on destroying his wife and her lover ~ frozen for almost a century, an arctic beast escapes from an old crate and terrorizes a college campus ~ a comet loaded with a verdant virus sweeps across the land, covering everything in its path ~ and an army of cockroaches terrorize the life out of a stuffy billionaire businessman. A cool and creepy horror film that recaptures the 1950s E.C. Comics with cinematic perfection!
