Creepshow 3

Plot synopsis:
=== Wraparound story ===
Unlike the first two Creepshow installments, in which the wraparound element linking the stories was a horror comic, Creepshow III takes an approach similar to Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, in which characters from each story interact with each other during the film. There is also a hot dog stand as a common element in the movie. Brochures, ads and other things from the hot dog stand are peppered throughout.
=== Alice ===
Alice (Stephanie Pettee) is a stuck-up, snotty teenager who comes home to find her father meddling with some kind of universal remote. Whenever he presses one of the buttons on the device, the whole family except for Alice changes ethnicity (i.e., the "Color and Hue Settings" button makes her family turn African-American, and the "Subtitles" button makes her family turn Hispanic). During this, Alice gradually mutates into what is supposedly her "true form".
Just when Alice thinks everything is back to normal, her father presses another button, revealing Alice's true form. Her family is absolutely horrified at the sight of Alice. The story ends with Professor Dayton, the mad scientist from down the street, using another remote control to turn Alice into a white rabbit. Notable in this story is the link to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Victor, the vampire, makes an appearance in this story.
=== The Radio ===
Jerry (A. J. Bowen) is a part-time security guard who buys a radio from a homeless street vendor to replace his old one which has stopped working; however, this mysterious new radio is far from ordinary as it can have a conversation with Jerry. Very soon Jerry is stealing money and murdering people, all at the whim of his new radio. After escaping with a hooker who lives in his building, Jerry is told by the radio to kill the hooker or she will kill him. He refuses and destroys the radio. Right after, the hooker finds his gun in the car and shoots Jerry, killing him. Moments after she kills him and wipes the gun clean, she is shot in the head. The shooter is revealed to be the pimp living in the same building as Jerry. When the pimp returns to his car, another radio tells him to go and start a new life.
Alice's father (Detective Jacobs) also appears in this story, investigating the various murders and strange goings-on taking place. The killer call girl, Rachel, also makes an appearance in this story, as well as the pimp and the two boys from "The Professor's Wife".
=== Call Girl ===
Rachel, a murderous call girl, receives a request from a shy man named Victor, her newest client. Rachel thinks he will be just another easy victim. When Rachel gets there, scenes of a murdered family with their necks ripped out are flashed on-screen, and there is no evidence of Victor living in the house. Rachel then chains him to the bed and proceeds to stab him in the chest, places a pillow over his face, and then has a quick shower. She then keeps hearing Victor's voice saying, "You killed me." Rachel removes the pillow and reveals a gruesome creature with a large, toothy mouth. It is then revealed that Victor is an actual vampire. He kills Rachel and hangs her in the room with the house owners whom he's already killed. The two young men from Professor's wife and the pimp from The Radio appear in this segment.
=== The Professor's Wife ===
Two former students come to visit Professor Dayton and meet his fiancee, Kathy. Having been victims of his practical jokes in the past, they suspect that Kathy is actually a robot, which the professor has supposedly spent the last 20 years working on in his laboratory. She also behaves like a robot and does not eat or drink, which further indicates that she is probably mechanical. When the professor is out of the house, they decide to dismantle Kathy to see what she looks like on the inside. To their utter horror, they learn that Kathy really was a human being after all. The professor later buys an 'advanced' voodoo kit from the homeless street vendor to put Kathy back together in time for the wedding.
Rachael, the killer call girl, makes a brief appearance in this story.
=== Haunted Dog ===
A cruel, miserly doctor, Dr. Farwell, is working a 30-day court-ordered sentence at a free clinic, where he is very insolent and rude towards his patients. He even goes as far as to show no sympathy towards a young girl with a brain tumor and mocks an elderly woman who is going blind. One day he buys a hot dog.
Dr. Farwell accidentally drops it on the ground. He sadistically decides to give the dirty hot dog to a homeless man who has been bothering him for some spare change. The homeless man dies after taking one bite, and he returns to haunt the cruel doctor. The story ends with the doctor having a heart attack from having had too many encounters with his ghostly stalker.
Victor from "Call Girl" also appears in this segment, and he seems to be in cahoots with Dr. Farwell. The homeless man can be heard muttering, "Thanks for the good dog" to Dr. Farwell throughout the segment, which is no doubt a reference to the somewhat similar "Thanks for the ride, lady!" line from Creepshow 2's final story, "The Hitch-Hiker". The Hispanic woman from "Alice" also makes an appearance in this story. Also, it is revealed that the street vendor/homeless man got the two radios from the professor in "The Professor's Wife". After this tale ends, it then shows The Professor at his wedding with his resurrected wife (who is bandaged up from being murdered in "The Professor's Wife") with a huge crowd around them. It shows the professor and his wife drive off, then it zooms in on the back of the hot dog guy's head. He turns around, revealing that he was the Creep all along.

Review:
Instead of renting the third Creepshow, just rent the original and enjoy.By the way, when I found out that the guys who co wrote Day of the Dead 2: Contagium were involved in making this movie, I finally understood why it was so bad..
I have watched some dire "horror" movies out of boredom but this is probably the single worst film I've possibly seen.
Out of the five stories, two were legitimately enjoyable - "Professor Dayton's Wife" (in an H.G. Lewis kind of way) and "The Radio" (actually had an E.C. comics ironic ending to it).
But, in the end, it comes down to two things: 1) The producers made this movie for one reason - to cash in on the brand name of the series, sell it to Warner Brothers, and earn themselves a producing credit on the upcoming remake of the original film (if it happens).
in the previous ones you got to know the characters.Man can anybody make a good remake or sequel in this generation.why is it Texas chainsaw massacre was the only good remake and everything else has been horrible!why is it producer think horror movies should just be gory and make no damm sense?
I loved the Creepshow movies, I thought they had great creativity and scary stories that are always fun to watch.
I didn't check out the rating first on IMDb, I actually watched it first, after finishing it, I didn't think it was that bad if you held it away from the first two creepshow movies.
It's just a horror movie for good fun and I think if you really gave it shot you might like it.5/10.
A straight to video/DVD instalment of Creepshow without any of the previous talents involved in the original 2 films.But don't let that predefine your view on this, lest we not forget how many of our genres greatest talents have turned in substandard junk as recent episodes of Masters Of Horror.
Before judging this on names alone.If viewers take Creepshow 3 with an 'as it comes' approach, they'll find a fun 80's feeling horror anthology which isn't a bad thing as that was comic horrors heyday with films like Blood Diner and Street Trash seemingly coming out weekly.Like all horror anthology's some story's work better than others.
Gore and visual FX are a touch tacky but done with its heart in the right place, the cgi I didn't like but was nice to see good old prosthetic effects used among them.Gets a chees-a-tastic 5 out of 10 from me, I know most previous comments say its the worst turkey ever, but these people haven't seen the worst of troma or a Todd Sheets movie.
I will just start by saying that I have always enjoyed the "Creepshow" anthologies, especially as I watched parts 1 and 2 while growing up, and remembering that there were some pretty good segments in those two first anthologies."Creepshow 3" was nowhere near the first "Creepshow" movie anthology, little less like the second.The stories in this third installment were not really all that interesting, and had only vague hints of horror to them.
If anyone that didn't see this movie yet than I have advice for you, "DON"T SEE THIS FILM AT ALL!" the only reason why it's called Creepshow 3 was to have people watch it or buy it.
before I watched it though, I came on here and read all of these reviews and I prepared myself for the worst movie of my life, but....Although I think that the name "Creepshow" should in no way whatsoever be attached to this film, and I can't stand the fact that there was no comic book atmosphere to the movie....all I can say is that I have definitely seen worse movies in my life than this one.
I watch A LOT of straight to video horror films; and I have seen some really bad ones.
I didn't really like this one....but I have seen much worse.If you try to completely forget about the fact that this is supposed to be another "Creepshow", then it stands alone as a somewhat fun little film to kill some time with- but I warn you that most of the stories make absolutely no sense at all.
Let's look at Creepshow III in that way; after Romero and King's series of segment-based horror/comedy film they therefore set new grounds for new film makers to indulge and be inspired by and I think Creepshow III is exactly that - - taking into account its restrictions of pushing boundaries which I am sure the film makers would have intended to do but this is clearly an incredibly low budget film so there are bound to be set backs in script, acting, special effects  even though I don't think those particular structures in the film are that bad at all.
Anything by Ulli Lommel is also worth burning and burying – my point being is that Creepshow III suffers a bad rap and I fail to see why, the first segment is probably the worst segment of all three Creepshow movies perhaps, but the film picks up with The Radio, Call Girl (which is reminiscent of the first Creepshow's "Father's Day" and "Something to Tide You Over" and the second movie's "The Hitchhiker) and even "The Professor's Wife" has a good sense of gory humour to it.
The movie is a good cousin to the original two films and as a devote Romero/King/Creepshow fan I say that in all confidence.
If one had a broad and open mind toward low budget cinema then you would understand that the infamous bad reviews that Creepshow III receives are in fact inflated and exaggerated by the horror community that are forever expected every horror movie that is released to be the next Rosemarie's Baby or Halloween, people are always demanding too much of horror.The reason I love horror so much is its capability to be so diverse and so broad that one can manipulate fantasy, mystery, action, sci-fi into the mixing pot and whatever the outcome you can still optionally chose comedy as its strongest feature.
So whether you think Creepshow III is good or bad, just take this film buff's advice; there is always *always* something far worse than whatever you have seen, so keep looking – when you find that ultimate bottom of the pit failure of celluloid it will help you appreciate movies like Creepshow III more..
I was expecting one of the worst films ever made but it turned out the movie wasn't too bad.
There's a lot wrong with this movie: the special effects, the acting, the stories, all of which would normally contribute to making this a complete waste of time.
I thought it didn't owe itself the name of the previous movies, this was merely an insult to all the Creepshow lovers out there, The acting I thought was a bit overly cheesy and the stories seemed to be rushed with no real apparent story line, I was hoping for some of the more old School Creepshow, however this didn't seem to come to light anywhere in the whole movie so on comparison to the good old movies I would not recommend anybody wasting there time watching it.
The Only Difference Between These Two Is That CREEPSHOW III Isn't Entertaining or Attention Grabbing Like Parts 1 Or 2, and At Least HALLOWEEN III Made The Attempt To To Take That Franchise In A Whole Different Direction and Made A Decent Effort In The Movie We Come To Know.
Yeah, it's an anthology of stories but so are plenty of other horror movies without the Creepshow title in it.
Again the Creep show scheme is all about a light fun horror show, so just relax and watch without giving it too much seriousness.I am totally surprised that people would still expected too much fromCS 3 after the standard set by the previous two movies.
Having just seen Halloween themed anthology Trick 'r 'Treat on the back of much praise from horror fans, and been thoroughly unimpressed, I decided that the time was right to check out Creepshow 3: after all, I had heard that this one sucked real bad, and at least I wouldn't come away disappointed.
THE creepshow 1&2 are made in 1980~s when i was a little boy and i have no chance to see this series of movies,after watching creepshow 3 ,i knew that i almost missed a good & exited Dracula movie.I ,of course, like any type of Dracula movie .THIS series of movie have their stronger personal style of Dracula-- the sick body, horrible bloody face, disconcerting polt ,and ---which is very important i think---black humor.in the creepshow 3.scene 1:The professor will marry a young girl who even would be his granddaughter ,but his two students thought it is impossible and the "girl" which is made by the professor,so they killed her,cut her body her dead,they exclaimed the great of the professor till they found her photo^^^^^^ scene 2 :a doctor gave hot-dog to a beggar who died after having hot-dog.then the ghost of the beggar appeared in front of that doctor many times.
That said, that was story 4 or was it 5 (Hard to remember because every tale had the same actors), by that time whoever came up with this garbage was probably all out of ideas, after all they had just come up with the ground breaking starting cartoon (Sarcasm Alert).In short this is an abomination, there is nothing good here, watch the other Creepies again, the stories/entertainment/lack of obvious rubbery masks are far superior to this film, 1* is being generous!!!.
Something this film actually manages to do and I've heard people give it credit for this is how the stories manage to intertwine with each other, this was unique for the time, but, new and better horror anthologies like "Southbound" have managed to do it way way better, here it never really helps the plots of the tales.
Another let-down of Creepshow 3 was the predictability of each story, you know exactly whats going to happen a mile off and there are few clever twists.I also had the displeasure of watching the "behind the scenes", and had to laugh as Clavell and Dudelson talked as if they were actually making something special with this film, and that it would please fans.
>:o Having seen this monstrosity of a "Horror Movie"and i use this term very loosely...i am in a loss for words on how bad the acting,directing,special FX,Stories are in the Video.The first one is the worst,some preppy Lil whiny B^$%# complains and whines about her life and neighborhood gets her just deserts when her father gets the universal remote from hell from a professor that lives in the neighborhood (he probably got it from wall mart)and turns everyone around him in the family,including himself into an alternate family of a different race.
every teenager from the suburbs would turn into a cookie monster like the one in this segment!(not that i think its even remotely deserved but far as the writers of this movie,they think it is).I mean come on..a homeless hobo dies by choking on a hot dog giving to him by a Doctor thats a complete idiot and haunts him as a ghost?,ahem..."cough....THE HITCHHIKER Creep Show 2....cough" Why is this guy such a jerk?,he should be the happiest sob in town,i would love to be in his shoes,he goes to a brothel every weekend,gets sex from all the hots chicks that were there and i saw lots of them,and thats because he provides the brothel with drugs!!
Let me say,once again on how repulsed I was by this.I'm not supporting this by any means,so the Creepshow Otaku don't have to attack me on this.Let's review this piece of crap by a Creepshow viewer and fan of well over two and a half years.Lets start off in chronological order.So without further ado,Creepshow 3 in a nutshell.Alice:Alice is the story about a preppy girl who is tired of home and living with her family.The typical drama queen basically.So one day,Alice's father finds a universal remote control,says to be one of Professor Dayon,their neighbor,experiments.So he presses a button,that causes the family to change races,another causes them to speak in other languages.Then something goes wrong,when Alice turns into this blob thing,with boils and stuff all over her,not to mention she melts.In the end,she turns into a rabbit and her family forgot about Alice's existence.My rating: **/*****The Radio:A sucker security guard named Jerry buys a radio off a homeless person.when his breaks.Then the radio starts to talk to him,and tells him to steal and eventually kill people.Long story short,it ends with him finding and stealing a quarter of a million dollars.He eventually gets killed by a gunman,who we find out is someone from his apartment,who also had a radio that talked to him too,the same one person who talked to Jerry.My Rating **/****The Callgirl:Rachel is dubbed "The Callgirl Killer".She basically goes to men's houses,is paid to have sex with them,after wards,she kills them.But one call in particular is odd.The person is a fellow named Victor,and we later find out that he is a killer too.Not knowing that,she has sex with him and then stabs him to death(probably suffocated him as well).Later,she starts hearing voices and then Victor turns into this demon or vampire thing and chomps into her neck.So basically,she gets what was coming.My Rating: ***/**** (Not good at all,but the best out of the five)Professor Dayton's Wife:Professor Dayon(as mention before) invites two of his old college students to his house for dinner and they get to meet his wife.Now,Professor Dayon is an old guy,probably 50s or 60s and his fiancée is probably in her late 20s or early 30s.She seems nice and old-fashion.Cooking and cleaning and such.She and Dayton met up at a college or a convention in Russia or someplace,which makes sense because of her accent.She seems so forgetful sometimes,and she told the two students about it,while Dayton went shopping.Dayton was always a character and a joker.He joked before about building the perfect wife.One of the students thought that he built an android type of robot.So the two just decide to take her apart.After they take her apart,they find a scrap book of Dayon and his wife,which they later find out that they did meet somewhere and she suffered from a memory loss.Freaking out that they killed her,they place her body parts around the house.***/**** (Not bad at all either,but like with he Call Girl,its not good,but it's good for a chuckle or two)Haunted Dog:Probably the worse of them,since it's a totally rip off of "The Hitch Hiker".We have a doctor who is the younger version of Upton Pratt.He doesn't care about anyone but himself and is a complete dick(I think his name is Jerry as well).Jerry is basically the jerk that everyone wants dead.Now,Jerry buys and drops a hot dog,and gives it to a homeless person.The poor fellow chocks to death on the hot dog and Jerry doesn't bother to help or save him.He goes on with his life,being a dick-face,and eventually the homeless person he 'killed' starts showing up in his life,eventually haunting him to his sudden death in the end.Two theories play with his death,either his massive pill popping or he died of fright.*/***** (Bad CGI,acting and a total rip off of The Hitch Hiker.Dr.Farwell,was the only reason why it stayed alive)The Creep never shows up until the end of the movie,which is awful.There is incredibly bad CGI in this,bad animation and completely bad scripting,stories outlines and actors.I swore they pulled random people off the street for this movie.Overall Rating 2/10Creepshow III is probably one of the worst movies I've seen next to Zombie Nation.I,had the unfortunate will to watch it three times.Zombie Nation was only once.Now,I guess Creepshow 3 is good for a laugh,but it's not good,it's terrible anfd horrible compared to the original two.So trying to make this like the two classics to me,is an insult.If they make another Creepshow,they better have Romero and the gang back to help.If not,at least get ideas from fans and the formers (Yes,I think this movie killed a lot of the fans and the franchise.)Movie fans anymore have more creativity then these clowns..
The thing feels like a Feaky Stories(yet another kids show that this film strongly reminds me of) segment with the worlds weakest punchline(they always did end with a two bit joke) executed in the worst possible way.
Again it's a little light on development and true terror but the twist ending definitely nods to the old comics and Creepshow movies so some points redeemed here.The Call Girl - This one gets the silver medal, again the feel of this story is true to the comics.
I was surprised when i heard creepshow 3 got made and was looking forward to seeing it because I enjoyed the last 2.Unfortunately the stories weren't from Romero and King.The animation at the beginning was interesting but a bit cheesy,but the animation at the end was good and was similar to part 2 but it was too short.
She is only guilty of living in a weird neighborhood that she dislikes and is not reason enough to end up where she does or why she turns into a rabbit(yes you read that right).The second "The Radio" starts off interesting enough but in the end there is no payoff or any explanation for the events.The third "The Call Girl" is the best of the bunch but it is also the shortest.The fourth story has so much misplaced black humor it is to the point of being stupid.Same goes for the fifth which is about a bum who haunts a guy after choking on a hot dog!It is strictly amateur night at the movies both in acting and direction even by direct to video standards.This is absolutely bottom of the barrel--Go watch the first 2 instead..
