We look back at the films based on Stephen King’s writing.
It’s Creepshow 2…
Welcome back to our ongoing journey through the adaptations of Stephen King.
Weve arrived atCreepshow 2, the sequel to the earlier collaborative effort of King and George A. Romero.
Originally intended to feature five stories likeCreepshow, budget cuts unfortunately left us with just three tales of terror.
Never has a sentient oil slick felt so threatening.
The Hitch-hikersuffers a little from having a protagonist who isnt very sympathetic.
Its hard to blame the hitch-hiker for wanting a little revenge.
He also gets a killer catchphrase: Thanks for the ride, lady!
The animation sequences best encapsulate the problem withCreepshow 2.
Only Billys tale isnt great and the humour falls flat.
Sadly, that lacklustre feeling permeates much of the film.
Not only that, but she then has her face eaten off by the predatory goo.
Join me next time, Constant Reader, as we travel toSalems Lot.
