Bad Wolf Down/The Finger

Bad wolf down had a good start and story line but was let dow by the poor cgi of the wolf men.

The finger was outstanding, loved the story line and BOB ofcourse!

For me the second half redeemed itself and helped me still give it a top score as i really enjoyed the episode as a whole.

The first part Bad Wolf Down was complete garbage, terrible acting and story. I was really bored all the way through this one.

The finger however was absolutely thrilling. I'm not usually a fan of DJ Qualls, but his performance in The Finger was really great, his disheveled and mentally unstable character was both creepy and fun, and his relationship with Bob was the high point here. The design of Bob was really reminiscent of Alien, yet unique in it's own way. Really great production quality on this one.

Hopefully the rest of the episodes is as good as The Finger.

Bad wolf good episode but so much like a cropped version of the amazing British horror dog soldiers.

Bad Wolf Down is a juvenile mess. Bad plot, dab script, bad acting, bad sets. Forget Bad Wolf Down.

The 9 out of 10 is for The Finger and the theatrical rendition DJ Qualls gives, within the limits of the simple plot Creepshow gives us. It's funny, campy, cute, delves into the psyche of a self-described "loser" and how he finds an escape from the untenable situation he finds himself in after his wife leaves him. Makes you think at the end whether or not his (spoilers) was just in his mind after all.

The Tales from the Crypt tv show from the nineties is a tour-de-force of/plot/script/casting for the most part. Hopefully the rest of this defunct EC Comics themed series can at least stand in its shadow.

This dual-segment offering delivers classic horror anthology thrills with a satisfying blend of period atmosphere and grotesque practical effects that would make Tom Savini proud. The first tale plunges viewers into the muddy trenches of World War II, where cinematographer Daryn Okada crafts a genuinely immersive wartime hellscape through desaturated palettes and claustrophobic framing. The werewolf reveal feels earned rather than cheap, building tension through shadows and suggestion before unleashing surprisingly effective creature work.

Jeffrey Combs anchors the supernatural segment with his trademark intensity, bringing gravitas to what could have been B-movie schlock. His commanding presence elevates the material, particularly during the story's more exposition-heavy moments. The practical makeup effects deserve special mention - the transformation sequences avoid digital shortcuts in favor of tactile, visceral imagery that recalls the anthology's EC Comics roots.

The second segment shifts gears entirely, embracing body horror with gleeful abandon. DJ Qualls delivers an unexpectedly nuanced performance as a down-on-his-luck protagonist whose discovery of a severed finger leads to increasingly bizarre circumstances. The episode's strength lies in its commitment to practical effects over CGI wizardry, creating genuinely unsettling imagery through old-school craftsmanship.

Both stories benefit from tight pacing that respects the anthology format's constraints while building genuine atmosphere. The production design authentically recreates each story's distinct setting, from war-torn Europe to contemporary urban decay. While neither segment reaches the heights of the original series' most memorable entries, both demonstrate solid understanding of what makes anthology horror effective.

The episode succeeds by embracing its pulp origins without descending into parody. These are stories told with conviction and crafted with care, featuring committed performances and impressive technical work that honors the source material's legacy while establishing its own identity.
