Creepshow (2019)

Watchseries; I will start off by saying that at least it's relatively entertaining but is completely unrecognizable to the original two movies besides dabbling lightly in the comic book theme. I don't know how they would ever come close to capturing lightning in a bottle again, or why they would try. You will never replicate the magic of the first two. Whether by virtue of different camera technology, cinematography, acting style, writing, everything about this show is too glossy, too "video" looking. With that being said it seems closer to the Goosebumps TV show for kids rather than the original movies, albeit it with a little more violence and gore thrown in. The most egregious example of this that I've seen so far was the Nazi werewolf episode. Everything about the look of this episode looks like it was shot in somebody's backyard. At no point did I think I was watching something taking place in France or Germany, let alone the 1940's. They couldn't even bother to color grade it to something to make it look older. Further throwing off the realism was having a random black soldier in their unit, who wouldn't have even served in the same line during WWII. Everything about this show is just... goofy and low budget. It kept me entertained and I will probably watch a couple more episodes out of curiosity, but it shouldn't be allowed to bear the Creepshow name. My fav episode so far was the House of the Head, but the ending ruined it for me with the very rubber looking head.

Creepshow watchseries. Two stories per episode would be great so I hope they keep it up! I love that they kept the same feel if the movies while placing Easter eggs all over. The creep factor was there while still being Tongue in cheek, just like those old comics. Creepshow first then Tales From the Crypt, creepy, funny, scary. Honestly thrilled! But if you're looking for terrifying you won't find it here, that's not what it's about. It's a traditional horro comic lovers dream

First episode reeled me in. Nostalgia is one thing that comes to mind. Easter eggs yes. Its definitely a throwback feature of the original first two. First half is meh. But the second half bravo. A perfect combo of childhood fear and Indian in the cupboard. No pun intended. With the brash overload of b movie horror movies. We now have a home on shudder with episodes to pop some pop corn and crack open some sodas and peel open the candy. If you don't like the original movies from way back dont write a review this is fanfare and hardcore horror film fanatics

I don't get all tbe high scores of 10 for this show. Like some other reviewer said; "is this really the best ever" when seeing all those 10 scores. I've now watched 2 episodes, which is 4 stories, and based on those I find the show very mediocre and the feeling I get from the two first movies are not present here at all. This is just well-produced but uninspired shovelware. I'll keep on watching though - who knows ... it might get better.

What a shame. When I grew up, the original Creepshow movie was a huge part of my childhood, I fondly remember the story with the animal under the stairs, I was scared for months. So I had some expectations when I saw that they re-booted it as a TV show on Shudder, sadly it's a huge disappointment even if all the fake reviews here what make you think differently.

The first story "Grey matter" is very good, in terms of story and FX, but then it ends abruptly, the second one is just awful, boring and tedious, with very low production cost, they clearly used it all for the first one. And that (the very, very low production cost) with the horrible stories, not in a good way, and they get worse with every episode, kills the show.

I get that it's a way lower budget with this one, but everything was generic, from the artwork to the music, to the cameos for cameos sake. It's lost its reference point from EC comics. It's no longer an homage to EC but an homage to Creepshow. Just really forgettable more dull than the dullest Tales From The Crypt episode. I don't get how someone can give this a 10. Is this really your ceiling? It doesn't get better than this cobbled together, terribly uninspired, fanboy Easter egg hunt?
