New Streaming: Creepshow- 'Sibling Rivalry'

 At long last, it's the second half of the Episode as we see something that I can't relate to.  It's a...

A young woman goes to the Guidance Counselor- Molly Ringwald- with some big news...

Her Brother is trying to kill her.

Happy Monday.
She tells her a rambling- and varying- story the involves her having a sleepover with her friend, her Brother looking up medieval weapons and her feeling weird over the last few days.
The woman blows off the girl due to her confusing and seemingly-nonsensical story.

Is she actually wrong though?
When the truth is revealed, will the siblings end up being an only child?
Which one?

You know there's a twist (since it's Creepshow), so have fun guessing.
This is one that lives or dies by the twist.  Again- I'm not SPOILing it for you here.  It's one of those Episodes where you either get it right away or just wait until the end.

I'm not going to say which side I was on (which is kind of a dead giveaway, I guess).

The actual Story is fun and makes good use of the Unreliable Narrator concept.  This girl knows just enough to be not quite right.  She's very confused throughout, which is how we get a full Story.  If she could remember stuff straight away, it would be like 5 minutes long.  I will say that the Story gave me some unfortunate Creepshow 3 vibes, but it is still better than that Film.  When all is said and done, this is a good segment that feels different from the previous ones.  It's tricky to stay fresh with an Anthology Show like this, but they're managing so far.  It's not their best one, but I liked it.  So um, yeah, that's it.  Any questions?

Next up, we go from a story about an Exterminator to one about a Plumber.  People in Creepshow sure are being some hard times, baby!  See you then...
