Bugs Not Hugs
Creepshow (1982)
directed by George Romero
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
To the mechanics of an education in the horror genre - the techniques and themes, the academic theories - never discount the tried-and-true experience of simply steeling one's stomach against revulsion. Creepshow, instructional in its lack of cynicism, gorged on the cast of The Fog (Tom Atkins, Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook), and refuge for Nielsen and Danson fans alike, is, in the end, appallingly gross. Tens of thousands of cockroaches gross, in numbers vast enough to sicken, repulse, and overwhelm. Refraining from using fast-forward is synonymous with finally standing up to the bully to keep your lunch money.
