I enjoyed Event Horizon, although it is my least favorite out of these 3 here. I would watch Creepshow first, if you haven't seen it. Someone here said Creepshow 2 was a better film ... and I've been really torn up by that idea. I could never decide which I liked better. Creepshow had 5 stories, whereas the sequel had only 3 (unless you count the metanarrative in each film, about the boy with the comic book, then it is 6 to 4). "The Creep" in the first film is a lot scarier than Tom Savini's costume in the second, but the second had those animated transitions which are great. As far as the stories go, I only liked "The Tide" and "They're Creeping Up on You" from the first film, and the second film had "The Raft" and "The Hitchhiker", which were A LOT better than any of the stories in the first. "Old Cheif Wooden Head" from the second totally stunk, and almost ruins the film ... if it wasn't for the greatness of the other two stories. Then again, the first film had that lengthy performance by Stephen King in "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill"; and even though that story's not so good, King's performance in it is classic. I just can't decide which one I like better. :mad:
