New Streaming: Creepshow- 'Stranger Sings'

 After a natural disaster managed to mostly miss us, I might as well catch up on some scares.

In this Segment, a man hears a Siren's call- literally!

A man and a woman have an awkward meet-cute for the ages.

She invites him in, but he thinks that he's being 'gentlemanly' by turning her down.

Before he gets very far, he hears some singing from her House.

It literally stops him in his tracks and makes him then come in.

He eventually learns what is going on and, well, it's weird.

The lady on the left is a Siren- a real one.  No joke.
The lady on the right wants to be a Siren.

They want him to do an operation to make it happen.

Will he do it?
Can he do it?

How will things end for him?

To find out, stream it now on Shudder.

A good segment that plays with conventions and feels a bit different from an old-school Creepshow Segment.  I'm saying that as a positive, as making them all the same would make things quite boring, no?

I obviously won't SPOIL the twists and turns of the Story here.

I enjoyed the Acting here, as our Lead played a nice 'everyman' here without resorting too much to cliché or parody.  It's a fine line.  The other Actors are good here too, giving the roles a bit of nuance.  It's not easy to do that in the truncated time-frame here, so kudos.

If you like Creepshow for the creatures AND the variety, you should enjoy this one too.  If you don't, just don't tell her!

Next time, some political commentary mixed in with some odd ideas.  It's a dark future for us all.  See you then...
