New Streaming: Creepshow- 'Pesticide'

 After a killing (or two) at a B&B, let's see the other half of the Episode...

In 'Pesticide,' an Exterminator is a bit abrasive, but does love his job.

He's...something.

He takes on a high-paying assignment that makes him question his morality.

Now that he has trouble sleeping, how are things going to go?
Things start to get really weird and he begins to wonder what is real and what is fake?

Can he go to someone for help or is it too late?

To find out, stream the Segment.
A fun segment that is mostly an excuse for some fun VFX work.  This is the Segment done by Greg Nicotero, so you know what to expect.  They make good use of Practical Effects, as well as Make-Up mixed in with some CGI.  As I've said about the Show before, the limitations of production- basically money- make them lean on more old-school stuff.  It gives the Show a retro vibe that fits with the source material.  The Plot here is pretty simple.  The slow, gradual degradation of the man's physical and mental state is good to see.  He's not a good person, so it's easy to enjoy his downfall.  Thanks, schadenfreude!  This one feels more like a classic Creepshow Segment than the previous one.  It may not have a ton of depth, but sometimes you just want to have a good time.  Right, Keith?

Next time, we get a bit of a Sci-Fi tale to mix things up.  To infinity and beyond!  See you then...
