This second horror anthology presents more eerie tales based on Stephen King stories. One episode finds a cigar-store Native American statue coming to life to avenge the death of the shop owner (George Kennedy) and his wife (Dorothy Lamour). Another features a group of teens menaced by a blob-like creature. The final installment follows a wealthy and callous woman (Lois Chiles) who hits a hitchhiker with her car and decides to flee the scene, but the victim isn't inclined to remain dead.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Not even the melding of Stephen King and George A. Romero's writing sensibilities can elevate this spineless anthology, which is too simple in its storytelling and too skimpy on the genuine scares.

Pat Graham Chicago Reader George Romero contributes the screenplay this time, basing it on some tastefully selected Stephen King morsels. Jul 12, 2010 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Tied together with some humdrum animated sequences, three vignettes on offer obviously were produced on the absolute cheap, and are deficient in imagination and scare quotient. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Time Out Just as you can't judge a '50s comic book by its lurid cover, so you can't judge a cheapo, three-part film by its sources. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Tom Atkinson Flickering Myth Seen afresh, Creepshow 2 feels like a relic from a time when horror wore its artifice proudly. It’s rough around the edges, occasionally crass, and sometimes clumsy, but that’s part of its charm Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot In the end, one amusingly over-the-top story simply isn't enough to sustain the entire film, ultimately making Creepshow 2 a disappointing follow-up to what had been a unique & solidly-entertaining horror anthology. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Never reaches the same highs as the original, but is still entertaining enough with its diverse tales of terror. Rated: 3/5 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Byron H. 3/4 Better than the original! The vignettes are ludicrous but ultimately more interesting than the original creepshow film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Daniel G. While it was never going to surpass the original, there's still fun to be had here especially with "The Raft" and "The Hitchhiker" segments. It just feels a little too short because of budget reasons with there just being 3 stories and the animated wraparound story is probably the weakest part of the film. A shame they didn't let Savini just do all of his scenes as the Creeper in live action. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Jason H The first story is worthless, the second story is marred by poor acting (and assault), and the third story is decent. Not recommended. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Jay L True horror fans will agree Creepshow 2 will always give you the heebie-jeebies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Ben M honstely not bad as pepole say it is. the graphics are bad because of 80s limitations so no judgeing that. the storys are interesting and gorey. but the cartoon stuff in a rated r film feels out of place. also with that there are adult scenes which is weird for a comic strip. overall worth a watch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
