"'Creepshow 2' is a satisfying little anthology of terror that won't scare you so much as entertain you" | ||||
"'Creepshow 2' is a cut-rate sequel from those two popular masters of horror, Stephen King and George Romero, that plays like leftovers. Fans of both deserve better" | ||||
"The strong writing offsets the film's weaknesses. 'Creepshow 2' may not have the major-league excitement of 'The Exorcist' or 'Aliens', but in its own right, it succeeds" | ||||

"King and Romero are back on the storyboard for 2, but with director Michael Gornick in charge, 2 goes nowhere slowly." | ||||
"Whereas Romero's approach to this material is distinctly tongue-in-cheek, Gornick makes the mistake of giving the stories a straightforward treatment that merely heightens their inherent weakness" |
