Creepshow (6/10)- Short horror anthology series that feels amateurish

Creepshow is a recent remake from Shudder of popular movies with the same name from the 80s. This time, instead of movies we have 6 episodes lasting around 40 minutes each, and containing 2 independent horror stories per episode.

All the stories in this series are about monsters. There are werewolves in one story, a monster that looks like the Loch Ness Monster, haunted dolls, ghosts, a haunted scarecrow among many other monsters. In total, there are 12 different monsters, 1 type of monster for each story.

There aren't many popular actors in this series. In fact, I was only able to recognize 2 of them and they aren't that popular. Although the fact there were a lot of child actors might have something to do with this. However, the lack of top-notch acting talent and a CGI that doesn't look 100% realistic can make this series feel very amateurish.

However, some of the stories were cool. My favorites were All Hallow's Eve and The Man in the Suitcase from episode 3, this was the best episode in my opinion. I also enjoyed The Finger which is the second story in episode 2, and The Companion which is the first story of episode 4. The absolutely worst story of all was Time is Tough in Musky Holler, the second story of episode 5. So by all means avoid that one.

The horror in this show isn't actually scary. It might scare younger audiences because of the abundance of monsters but this is not true horror in my opinion. These are just spooky stories that won't make your bones chill but might provide entertainment value to older audiences.

If you enjoy the horror/suspense stories this could be a good choice to watch as long as you aren't expecting in getting scary for real. If you like the genre some stories might be fun but this is not a must-watch production.

The best

• Some stories were cool and entertaining.

The worst

• There were stories with an alarming lack of quality.
• The CGI could have been better, the same goes for the acting in some cases.
