WHEN THE CURTAIN GOES UP THE TERROR BEGINS
WHEN THE CURTAIN GOES UP THE TERROR BEGINS
Titans of terror George A. Romero and Stephen King deliver yet another fiendish selection of blood-curdling tales in Creepshow 2, the follow-up to the 1982 horror classic.
In “Old Chief Wood'nhead”, a group of young hoodlums face retribution from an unlikely source after looting a local hardware store. Meanwhile, “The Raft” sees a group of horny teens wishing they’d read the warning signs first before taking a dip in a remote lake. Finally, an uptight businesswoman finds herself with some unwanted company following a hit-and-run incident in “The Hitch-hiker”.
Retaining the same EC comic book flavor that made the original such a hit, Creepshow 2, this time directed by long-time Romero collaborator Michael Gornick, is a standout horror anthology from the minds of two of the genre's master craftsmen.
Reviews
"As for the new transfer... wow! It's a radical improvement over the previous one seen on the older Blu-rays, featuring much more robust colors, better refined film grain, and most significantly, additional image information on the sides"
