Another week and we get to the second segment of the Episode in...
In this Segment, a small Town goes through some big changes. How will the new Bosses deal with the old ones?
Wait- is this the real Scream 5? I mean, he is a Deputy?!?
Another good one, but it has some real...oddities to it. So the obvious thing here is that Creepshow tries to emulate a Comic Book aesthetic. I like that. However, they go a bit too far in this Segment for me. Just doing the transitions with the Comic Book Panels is fine. Just doing a light mix of them for flavor is fine. This one, for some reason, goes a bit overboard. The whole thing is rife with exposition and backstory, since it is all set after the main action for some reason. So that means that they spend 60% of the Segment just showing us Flashbacks and/or narrating. The way they do that is almost entirely done in the Comic Book Panels. It looks neat, but I feel like I'm watching a Motion Comic or something. They just keep doing it. I was beginning to wonder if they had an issue with the Shooting Schedule or just plain ran out of money. The Comic stuff is nice, but...there's just too much, I guess is the point. If you can get past this, this can be a good bit of fun. The whole thing is just oddly put together for the listed reasons and it didn't quite feel as good to me for that. Maybe I'm alone in that. For what it is worth, the Art isn't bad or anything...
What dark and painful fate awaits the guilty?
To find out, stream the Show on Shudder or watch it on DVD like some old fart (like me).
Next time, a man tries to improve his body in a dangerous way. It can't be worse than the Paleo Diet, can it? See you then...
