This has been SUCH a letdown, but I guess I should have expected it. The original Creepshow movie was like a Shaun of the Dead homage-showing its love for horror anthologies and comics, but also putting a spotlight on their problematic aspects, which, in horror, are necessary for being subversive. The movie was a wonderful tangle of depravity, misogyny and rampant murder. Bothersome while, yes, fun.
The second movie lost that edge and forgot there was commentary behind the stark worldview of the first. And I guess that second movie is the real model for this show-weak storylines, throwaway characters, and unfortunately thinking the fun is in the kill, not in the horror of the kill.
