Directors John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper bring you a made for cable horror anthology known as...BODY BAGS.
Hosted by an amusing John Carpenter as a cryptkeeper like host. He's a lively corpse himself and delights in the torment of the other bodies in the morgue. So he's going to tell you about them...(well three of them, anyway).
Story One finds a young college student being stalked in a desolate gas station by a menacing killer. Watch for Carpenter regulars Buck Flower, Peter Jason, and Robert Carradine as well as cameos from Sam Raimi and Wes Craven. Not a very good story but much better than the other two that follow Story Two finds a balding bachelor (the always watchable Stacy Keach) desperate for a cure to his thinning scalp. He finds one, thanks to an eccentric doctor played by David Warner. The cure works a little too well...This one is a little corny but fun.
Story Three is directed by 'guest' Tobe Hooper and is unfortunately the weakest story. Professional baseball player Mark Hamill is distraught after losing his eye in a car accident. That is, until another creepy doctor offers him a transplant...from an executed serial killer. Nothing bad could possibly happen, right? Overall, the films wraparound segment proves to be more entertaining than the segments themselves as it feels like an old EC comic but the film isn't without it's positive points. The first story has decent suspense and all of them have their tongue planted firmly in cheek.
Seek out this one out!
