Tales From the Crypt: Season 1 (1989)
Horror/Comedy/Sci-Fi/Fantasy Not Rated
Plot
From the folks at Home Box Office comes this horror anthology, which dishes up ghoulish morality tales tinged with black humor and full of twists. Featuring A-list directors and stars, the one-hour stories (hosted by a moldering corpse who spouts putrid puns) mine humanity's dark side.
Acting
The acting is meant to be over the top and campy in most cases, and in most cases, that what you get, however some people do it better than others. Joe Pataliano
Gore
Not a whole lot, some basic tamer slasher kills, although there is one very bloody kill involving one of those old timey huge axes.
Sex/Nudity
A few fully clothed sex scenes, one couple gets killed while in the bath, and a scene that takes place in a strip club. Also there is some brief male nudity.
Final Thoughts
Although none are bad, some of the 6 storys are more interesting than other, with Love Come Hack Me being the stand out as the best of them. Time is the thing that hurts most of the stories, as I think some had a very good premise, but didn't have time to get into full gear. Overall though its a good way to spend 26 minutes (each) and i look forward to seeing the other seasons some day.
