YMMV / Creepshow 2

---

• Awesome Moments: Chief Wood'nhead killing the three thugs who brutally murdered the Spruces. It's particularly satisfiying seeing him not even flinch after being shot by Sam. It's at that point that Sam knows he's screwed and we the viewers know he absolutely deserves what's about to happen.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Annie killing a hapless hitchhiker? Shocking. Annie being chased by hitchhiker who is now a zombie? Terrifying. Annie repeatedly trying to escape? Thrilling. Annie taking the extra effort to repeatedly ram her car into said zombie over and over to try to keep it from coming back while it gets ever more and more mangled with each attempt? Hilarious.
• Genius Bonus: Chief Whitemoon's car is 1952 Pontiac Fleetleader. The Pontiac car brand was named after Chief Pontiac, an 18th century Native American chief.
• Narm: Deke's actor conveys the terror one would feel about an oil slick wanting to eat him and his friends...until the oil slick grabs him around the foot. He looks more ridiculous than anything as it eats him.
• Questionable Casting: Per an interview actor Holt McCallany had auditioned to play a fratbro, but a producer offered him the role of Sam Whitemoon. McCallany pointed out that he was a blue-eyed White guy of Irish ancestry and could not play a Native American character. The producer said it would be fine if he wore make-up and a wig, and they would write him off as being of mixed-race. The results leave a lot to be desired.
• Retroactive Recognition: Randy and Sam are the first film roles for Don Harvey and Holt McCallany, respectively.
• Rooting for the Empire: Admit it — some of you were rooting for the blob in "The Raft".
• So Okay, It's Average: The movie overall is seen as a fine horror anthology that suffers from having 3 less interesting segments compared to its predecessor.
• Tear Jerker: The murder of Ray and Martha Spruce. Martha is shot right in front of Ray, and in complete shock all he can do is say "Martha" while walking towards her body just to be coldly shot too. Yeah, there's a good reason Chief Wood'nhead goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The makeup on the Creeper is incredibly well done and honestly looks real. Considering it was made by Tom Savini (who also played the Creeper) this isn't surprising.
• The Woobie: Poor Ray and Martha. What made it worse is they're the only people in the entire movie who don't come off as Asshole Victims, which makes their deaths all the more tragic. On the plus side, it provides a reason to root for Chief Wood'nhead when he hunts down the ones responsible.
