The first "Creepshow" movie is very entertaining and by far the best one out of the three.
This follow-up film is a disappointment. The stories included are short on inspiration and seem to drag on forever. The first story is probably the best but it takes too long to really build any kind of momentum. George Kennedy is totally wasted in this film and his acting ability isn't taken advantage of.
The second story is about as dumb and as corny as it gets! The people who appear can't act their way out of a rubber johnny! Simply hopeless. The setting is far too restricted and I wasn't particularly bothered about the fate of the characters.
The last story is tolerable but nothing exceptional.
I did like Tom Savini as the Creeper character who appears at the beginning and end of "Creepshow 2." His makeup is scary and his performance is good. The final camera shot is imaginative as this ghoulish character is driven off into the distance, located somewhere in the American countryside.
I would stick with the first one and leave it at that.
