I rarely write comments on IMDb, but it is 3 o'clock in the morning, and I have to comment on the terrible film I just watched--Creepshow 3. When I first heard that a new Creepshow was being made, I thought that might be cool, but then I heard the original players were not involved. Then, I saw the trailer, which was terrible. Yet, I decided to give it a chance.

I will admit that it was not unenjoyable--just not good. The special effects were fun, and the production values of the filming were not bad. Yet, the animation at the beginning and ending of the film are terrible and amateurish. They should not have used that opening segment with animation. The movie has no relation to Creepshow except that it is an anthology. There was nothing scary, and there were almost no night scenes--everything was lit. The stories made no sense most of the time and seemed absurd (the first story with the remote--why was the remote changing realities? Was it only that family? Why did the girl turn hideous? The doctor said it looked like her insides, but what had she done to deserve this "punishment" since her family was more obnoxious? What was the purpose of the rabbit? Then, I questioned if the remote could change things, why didn't the doctor use the remote on his wife's corpse?) That was just the first story. Even though the stories connected, the chronology did not work. For example, Alice was eating the wedding cake before she turned into a rabbit, but the doctor picked up the cake after Alice was turned into a rabbit. Those logical holes were all over the place. Absurdity is a part of horror, but these had no connections that made any sense. They often led into weak endings. Also, why did no one question what was happening to them? Oh well, it was mindless, and I won't watch it again, but they should not have attached the Creepshow name to the film. The tone was completely off--too jokey. It needed terror. One of the actors said this was the best of the three--did he see the others?
