Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, today I figured to do one of the absolute worst horror movie sequels I have ever seen. What's worse is unlike majority of my list, this one isn't official. Yeah this movie's title is a flat out lie to anyone who loved Creepshow 1 and 2 or any horror anthology movie for that matter. Oh man I am aiming once again at the bottom of the barrel. A movie so bad I highly recommend avoiding or destroying it at all costs. No body should ever see such a horrible movie.
Creepshow III has no real connection to the first two movies in any possible way. Not even the horror comic book theme is present. Considering majority of stories in the first two movies are from horror comic books. I felt they are already starting off in such a horrible direction. Just like Creepshow 1, there are five different stories.
Another weird thing is The Creep not being present anywhere in the movie. It is debatable if he's actually in the movie or not. In the first two movies although done differently, The Creep was present. Not having The Creep in Creepshow III is just like not having The Crypt Keeper in Tales from the Crypt. You simply can not do things like that & expect people not to notice.
One interesting fact, a movie company called Taurus Entertainment Company had a short run of unofficial sequels. I believe before this they made Day of the Dead 2: Contagium. Another very bad movie sequel that might make my list. Which means they made two unofficial sequels to George A. Romero movies. What an insult to one of the greatest & inspiring horror movie directors of our time.
Everything possible way in all categories, Creepshow III is very badly put together. It is so bad that just look at any of the covers. Not a single one trying to hide the sheer awfulness awaiting for unexpecting victims aka us. Another interesting fact is at one point there almost was a third Creepshow movie.
Yeah before this horrible abomination claiming to be a sequel to Creepshow 2 came around. The movie had a lot of the same people involved. But they were working on a new show called Tales from the Darkside. They felt by changing Creepshow 3 into Tales from the Darkside The Movie would help it.
In truth, it was one of the better anthology movies I ever seen. Even Tom Savini stated that this movie was the true Creepshow 3. I fully agree since it plays on most of the same things the first two Creepshow movies does. I really don't feel the same about Creepshow III. This movie really doesn't bring anything to the table. It is so bad I really don't want to talk about each story included.
Sadly I must in this to help give people an idea how far they should stay clear of it. Let's start with Alice, it's about a bratty girl coming home to her dad. He is messing around with an universal remote. Now how many things can you name that already done this concept. One episode of Goosebumps and the movie Click are two famous examples.
The Radio is ripping off a classic horror story. Why does this sound familiar to people that seen it? Both involve a man listening to a device. Which led to him doing horrible things to people. The big twist is we never found out what's up with the radio. Jerry gets killed by a hooker then some pimp gets talked into living a new life. Really movie what kind of horse crap is this?
Call Girl is about a murderous call girl that will kill her clients & steal their money. Sadly she makes the mistake of attempting this on an vampire. Which led to her brutal bloody death that isn't even a bit satisfying to watch. Seriously movie I can't believe you had the balls to do such a story to end up ruining it.
The Professor's Wife comes more off like a strange take of an Goosebumps story. A small group of people believe the professor's wife may be a robot. At the end of story to their surprise, they killed a human being. Her husband uses voodoo to bring her back to life. When does having a voodoo zombie end good for people because it never does.
I saved the absolute worst story for last. This story alone is really, really, stupid. It is a shameless rip off of a classic horror story too. Haunted Dog has a doctor hating his job. He gets a strange hotdog but drops it on the ground & leaves. Very quickly a bum eats this hotdog to die. Already this is sounding very bad but wait we haven't got to the best part yet.
This bum starts haunting the doctor referencing food. Now anyone who seen The Twilight Zone will instantly be reminded of the episode The Hitch-Hiker or The Hitch-hiker from Creepshow 2. Yes that story about a lady constantly seeing a man everywhere she goes. Of course both these versions of the same story have some differences to keep things fresh.
Haunted Dog wasn't even trying to be a new story. It clearly was they unofficially reusing The Hitch-hiker story. This is an huge insult to both George A. Romero & Stephen King. How the hell did this get allowed even for a direct to video movie. If you have any real sanity left after reading all of this. Please save yourselves by not watching this movie. Yes you have been warned hahahahahaha.
