John J. O'Connor New York Times Parody? Tribute? Rip-off? ["You, Murderer"] starring Humphrey Bogart, is a tantalizing blend of all three. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety It's still a poor man's homage to film noir. Jun 15, 2018 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club By the sixth season, Crypt's quality was beginning to nosedive, but fans never would have guessed that from the season premiere. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Andrew Roberts Uproxx Much like his future turn on Breaking Bad... it all builds to a twist. And, boy, what a twist. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Marc Buxton Den of Geek The innovator of late night horror in the early '90s, often living up to the standards of the EC Comic that set the bar for four color horror in the '50s. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Rafe Telsch CinemaBlend Tales from the Crypt could be seen as the modern day Twilight Zone, mixing social commentary or cautionary tales with just the right amount of blood splatter and ripped flesh. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Jens B Some good episodes are in this season but you can tell that they ran out of steam. Not as much violence, sex, drugs, or swearing as in the first seasons. The motifs and settings become repetitive. And that famous Bogart-episode? Ambitious but not very good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
