I'll highlight all but one, since it ties into a certain Holiday. This is...
An apparent mix-up at the Airport- or is it?!?- leads to him getting some luggage that...starts making sounds. What's inside?
In this Segment, we learn that wealth and ambition can come with a price. Also just take the Bus.
A listless guy returns home and things aren't going his way.
His girlfriend just dumped him and he has no prospects.
He's also a stoner, because cliche.
No SPOILERS, except for, you know, the Title and all.
Good, if rough storytelling. The hook here- the titular Man in the Suitcase- is a good one. The visuals- which I won't SPOIL- are good. The twists- also no SPOILERS- are good. The payoff- yadda yadda- is good. It's all good. I'm not sure that it is great though. It is a slight tweak on some pretty familiar Creepshow stuff. I get it- not everything needs to 'reinvent the wheel.' I think that this one just needed a slight tweak or two to really be great. That said, it is quite fun and works as a micro-story/segment here. Many of these could be stretched to fill a feature-length narrative. Could this? Eh, maybe. The Man in the Suitcase isn't exactly chock full of nuance, but it is a nice twist on the classic 'Be careful what you wish for- you just might get it' idea. Now where did I keep my change for the Bus?
When his recent-ex and his roommate get involved, will they do the right thing?
Of course not- it's a Creepshow segment. Duh!
Next time, another segment involving, you know, a freaky monster or anything. I didn't read ahead, so neither should you.
