 Thanks for checking out this review video. So let's do this for the sixth and final episode of the creep show series on a Shutter Hopefully people have been enjoying this overall, you know, it has its ups and its downs for me personally But overall I've enjoyed it and this episode for me was about the same where I feel like a lot of the episodes It was this way for me personally where I felt like one of the stories. I quite enjoyed To varying degrees and one of them I was more like meh could do without it But that's one of the wonderful things about anthologies is that there are so many different stories If you like one doesn't mean you're going to like them all or if you dislike one It means there's plenty of other opportunities to find something you do like and I've seen a lot of disparity With ones that people like versus don't like a lot of people saying like ones that I'll say Oh, I really didn't like this one other people are like really that's my favorite one or vice versa where I'm like That one's my favorite and other people like really I hated that one the most So that's one of the greatest things about anthologies. There's something for everyone pretty much So let's break into this sixth and final episode. It's sad that it's over to be honest So real quick shout out to shutter for hooking me up for these screeners weekly when this episode is coming out It is the day that this episode is available So there are no spoilers because I want everyone to have the opportunity to go ahead and watch my review But watch the show on their own and form form their own opinions basically without spoilers So the first story in this one is called skin crawlers Written by Paul Dini who I believe if I'm right about which Paul Dini this is It's the guy who's an animator and comic creator who did some things like Batman and transformers So good pedigree with that guy and Stephen Langford who actually wrote a bunch of TV episodes And also wrote the script for a feature length film called warm-blooded killers, which I have not seen don't know anything about sorry This one was directed by Roxy and Benjamin who has done films like Southbound and XX but also did the the short story or the Story for one of the other episodes of creep show called the Sorry, Lydia Lane's better half. That's the one it was it was that was one of the ones I wasn't like huge on but the directing was good Same thing here. The directing is really well executed in this. I really like the way this episode in particular looked It was good it moved it at a nice pace too. That's one of the other things because you know being short They don't always move at the right pace some of them You know, you feel like they're moving way too slow for being super super short Some of them it feels like they're way too choppy because they they move around and jump around too much So, you know, but this one was good As soon as the premise is being revealed immediately. I was like, oh, no I see where this can go wrong Well can go wrong and most likely will go wrong and I was correct about how It went wrong and that it would go wrong I mean, obviously things are going to go wrong because it's a horror show so things have to go wrong pretty much, but it's all about to what degree and The degree for this one was pretty fun I enjoyed this this this was the episode of the two that I was I was pretty pretty satisfied with So overall it speaks to Insecurities within society that many many people are familiar with myself included I feel like this this theme touches pretty much everyone But it also speaks to a bunch of other things it speaks to a healthy distrust of promises made by others Especially corporations who kind of say hey, I'm offering you this it's amazing in the best and and you're like what could go wrong Some people are like what could go wrong? Let's go other people are like, I'm not so sure about that So I like those types of themes. It's played with well for this one story-wise. I like it It looks good now. Like I said, it looks good. It has solid acting in this one. The acting is pretty decent There's a person here or there delivers online here or there. That's kind of me. Yeah, but for the most part pretty solid enjoyed it This one actually reminds me a little bit of a story that's in the anthology film body bags by John Carpenter So it reminds me like it because the the overall theme of it and a few other elements So people who are familiar with body bags If you think about that and you watch this you'll see what I'm talking about You'll know what I'm talking about. I like the practical effects in this Probably the most of any of the stories the practical effects in this one Oh, it's between this one and the finger. I really do like the practical effects in the finger But I might this one might be my favorite and you'll see why there's there is a Outstanding ending to this practical effects wise. It's like they just throw everything It's just like you think something's gonna happen and it does happen at least there was something that I was like Oh, please. I hope this is what happens because it feels like that's what should happen here And it happened and I was like, oh sweet and then they won up to me in my expectations after that and I was like Oh, I didn't I didn't expect this surprise That was quite nice. It was very cool. So They really amped it up on that one and I'm a fan There's a fun gross-out factor to this too, which I like those types of things Especially when it gets crazy and it got kind of crazy. So, yeah Overall, that's my assessment of this one. So doing my star rating on this particular story out of five stars with half stars in Play compared to all the other ones At the moment, how am I feeling about this one? I'm gonna give this one a three and a half three and a half Yeah, pretty good. This one gets a three and a half. I I didn't I enjoyed it. It's pretty good And then we go to the next one which you can Figure out through the powers of deduction. This was the one I wasn't too happy on and it's pretty sad in my opinion that this is the one the whole series ends on Kind of sucks at least for me personally I know there are probably people out there who will comment down there and say really this was my favorite one and that's good That's a great thing This was by the silver water of Lake Champlain It's adapted from a story by Joe Hill who's done such things such books as horns Nosferatu, which actually is a show on shutter at the moment, which I've been watching through I think I have like two episodes left and I will do a review for that one Really enjoying that show and the comic book locking key Which if nobody's read that you have got to read that the story with that is super cool And the I think it's Gabriel Rodriguez does the artwork for it looks really good so This story Joe Hill story was adapted by Jason Jason Simorella, I think it's how you say his name. He's adapted other Hill Joe Hill work Apparently for comic books in the past including thumbprint and the cape which I didn't know about that so now Finding that out. I kind of want to go look for these comic books Just to see how those are this one was directed by someone a lot of people know Tom Savini who Directing credit wise is most well known for his remake of night and living the dead which was Quite well done to be honest and it's pretty underappreciated But obviously he's most well known for some of his actings and you know Don of the dead the original dawn of the dead he was in From dust held on by Quinn Tarantino. He's been in a bunch of stuff But best known and appreciated for his practical effects because he's very very influential on that I don't need to tell you too much about that. We love Tom Savini in the horror community So there's a very fun tie-in at the very beginning of this that I picked up on to a John Carpenter film Obviously, that's all I'm gonna say because it's not spoilers, but look for that very cool tie-in. You'll get it It's pretty strong. So it's it's hard to miss it if you've ever seen this John Carpenter film The story plays heavily on family dynamics, which actually is something very common that Joe Hill Will put in his works Although in this instance with this story, I felt like it played way too heavily on the family dynamics So much so that it didn't really feel like it was much of a horror story It felt more like it was a family story with a very slight tinge of a horror element added in and That's why I didn't really like it a whole lot. I mean the story's not bad itself. It's just For the series it's in it's creep show It's supposed to be horror and I just felt like there's not nearly enough horror to this to Warrant it being in there just my opinion It's pretty slow and it feels like they kind of put some dialogue in there to actually pad the runtime Which is a very bad thing when it feels that way when it is short to begin with I've said that about some of the other ones that they've had in this series So those those types of things really irk me when it feels like it's not moving in a very good pace It's it's tough, especially after I just watched one in skim crawlers that had very good pacing and the story really moves Just makes it seem even tougher There's a pretty decent payoff at the end though Like there's there's one quick moment of a decent payoff a good horror moment, but that's kind of it for the whole thing It makes it seem like from a horror standpoint the whole thing's kind of a throwaway Unfortunately in my opinion once again, this is one story that the practical effects actually didn't look all that hot which sucks They look really fake Really fake. I think maybe it's an instance where maybe shouldn't have been as much screen time for it because of the way it actually looked But you know it is what it is It is what it is Pretty disappointed in this one. I get the story. I get it. I understand what the story is I understand the underlying themes where they're trying to go with it the metaphor involved with it It's just not that entertaining. I'm sorry It's just not that entertaining either it needed to be longer so they could do a lot more have more Horror elements worked into it flesh things out a little bit more or being Shorter they needed to I don't know figure something out. Maybe this maybe it just wasn't Able to be adapted properly it may just they maybe they should have just stayed away from this story Although it does make me interested to find out what the actual short story itself is like because I really do appreciate Joe Hill's writing so Might check that out. So anyway my rating for this one out of five stars with half stars of play This is a tough one I'm gonna Because there's some because I understand the story the actual overall story is not that bad I'm gonna give it a two star right now. I'm gonna I'm going one and a half I'm sorry one and a half stars on this one. I'm not I'm just not taking it. So Okay, so it's sad to say but that's it for creep show at least for now I have seen stories Articles saying that they've they've had like record Viewership for their creep show series as far as you know viewers for shutter go So I would assume that means they're gonna do a second season I've heard a lot of people saying a lot of good things about it But I've also heard a lot of people on the other end saying they really don't like it But you know, that's like anything in life. These things are very polarizing some people are like, I love it I ate it for me personally. I like it. I enjoy it like I like I've broken down in all my on and all my analysis episodes Analysis videos for the episodes I should say There are stories. I really like their stores. I don't really like but that's the nature of anthology And I'm always really excited for the surprise of it Like am I gonna like this one or am I not gonna like this one? And when you find those that you like it makes it even that much sweeter if you watch ones You don't like so I love the whole anthology thing. I'm a fan of this creep show series I really hope they bring it back for a second season, but I really hope that they add Length to everything which maybe they will because they might be able to get a larger budget since it was a good draw for shutter But anyway, I might do another video just kind of talking about the overall of Creep show and going a little bit do like an overall ranking which I'll give you my final ranking I'll just give the titles, but I might do a full video breaking down the reasons for my ranking, but Here we go my overall ranking final number 12 by the silver water of Lake Champlain No big no big surprise there number 11 all hollows Eve number 10 Lydia Lane's better half Number nine times as tough and musky holler Number eight gray matter number seven bad wolf down Number six night of the paw Number five the companion Number four skin crawlers Number three the man in the suitcase number two house of the head and number one the finger been there for a while Anyway, hopefully everyone enjoyed this go ahead and tell me what you really liked about this episode Or didn't like about this episode and the show in general down in the comments Do me a quick favor though hit that subscribe because that's your way to repay me.
