As another week is here, I cover the last Segment (until October)
- The Dad is dead.
- He spent most of their money trying to find a local Sea Monster
- They now live with a new 'Dad' who is abusive
- There's also that giant skeleton hanging around (see above).
The Daughter continues to defend her late Father and has a boyfriend- nicknamed Rambo- who likes her alot.
She goes out for a walk to clear her head and finds something...odd.
'New Dad' finds it too and goes to take the discovery- no SPOILERS- for himself.
This can't end well.
To find out how it ends, stream the Episode or watch the DVD like me.
More personal and intense than most of these- a neat change of pace. So many Creepshow Segments rely on some sort of creature/monster to drive the story. That's *kind* of true here, but with some big differences. While a creature does anchor the whole thing, it is much more of a tale of family drama, personal loss and trying to exonerate the dead. Can they prove that Dad was right about the Monster? Can they get out of this tense family situation? This one felt more personally-intense for the Characters, which was a nice change. Taking nothing away from the other 'Creature Feature' Segments, this one feels fresh enough to close out the Season. Savini does a good job getting solid to great performances out of everyone involved. The Special Effects look just good enough to be convincing, while not being so slick that they feel artificial. Make-up and effects are always top notch on this Show though, to be fair. 'Lake Champlain' is different enough that some may not like it as much. For me, it worked. It is good to see the Season end on the right foot...
Well, that's it for Creepshow- at least for now. Time to find some more Horror Anthology goodness (or badness) to check out.
I have something pretty obscure in mind...
