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.
