What a complete waste of time. I was drawn to watching it only because I'm a big fan of the King/Romero "Creepshow"'s and even though I knew they had no part in this one, I figured that it would still have to be at the same calibre. Boy, was I wrong. I understand the concept of linking one story to the other, but this was so mixed up, that I found myself quickly trying to piece together the common thread of each story as I went along. The dumbest story of all of them was "Haunted Dog". I was waiting for an ending that would tie into the storyline, but it just fizzed out. Extremely weak. This is not to say that the movie didn't have it's elements of creepiness, which is why I rated it a "3" instead of "awful". But what ruins it is the pinch of comedy thrown in, like the music during "The Professor's Wife" when the hacked body was in the process of being hidden. If it had even an ounce of horror, it was quickly stripped of that honour when the music kicked in. I thought about watching the entire movie again, to see if I would find it easier the second time around. But honestly, I don't have another 90 minutes to waste. And even though I've watched "I" and "II" numerous times, I'll watch them again when I want another "Creepshow" fix. And if they're thinking about making a "IV" - please don't. Not unless Stephen and George have some say in it.

Creepshow is the best horror film ever made. Creepshow 2 was at least decent. This 2006 effort (I use that word kindly) is utterly useless. Containing no feel from the original, an obvious bare-bones budget, and thoroughly disappointing actors, Creepshow III (it should not be able to use the name) simply stinks. Fans of the first two should watch this only to fuel their anger or to mock. I rented this from an automated Redbox unit. (Very cool concept by the way) The rental cost only one dollar. I may have overpaid. I realize that studios and other big companies usually own the rights to film names, but some comment by King and Romero denouncing this trash would be very satisfying. Horror fans, beware of this one!

I actually remember when this thing came out and how excited I was and how it got some attention from the horror community. Then sadly I rented it (yes kids from a video store) and remember being super disappointed. I decided to return to it again recently to see if this thing had maybe managed to age well. And my answer is no it was crap in 2006 and its crap now. There's no style, no real EC comics homages, and no involvement from Romero or King. Instead this was brought to us by the team of Ana Clavell and James Dudelson, who for some reason managed to get there hands on the rights to this and Romero's "Day of the Dead" they also made "Day of the Dead 2: Contagium (2005)" a movie which I haven't seen but have heard is absolute garbage. After an opening which includes some of the most piss poor animation available we then get into five tales. "Alice", "The Radio", "Call Girl", "The Professor's Wife", and "Haunted Dog". The only two decent ones are "The Radio" which stars AJ Bowen, its way to long and eventually over stays its welcome, and the other being "Call Girl" which blows its load to early and ruins what could have been a decent tale, but, still has some nice creature effects. The rest are just goofy wastes of time. Something this film actually manages to do and I've heard people give it credit for this is how the stories manage to intertwine with each other, this was unique for the time, but, new and better horror anthologies like "Southbound" have managed to do it way way better, here it never really helps the plots of the tales. Both Clavell and Dudelson have talked about a potential fourth film since this movies release. Let's all hope the zombie apocalypse happens before that.
