Creepshow: Drug Traffic/A Dead Girl Named Sue (2021)
Just Stop Already
Just what everyone was looking for in a horror anthology episode, a conversation about US health care policy. The level of self-absorption it must take to write something like this is unfathomably high. If the writers just focused their energy into telling a good story instead of advancing an agenda it might not turn out awful, but alas, they cannot help themselves. Yawn.
Creepshow: Mums/Queen Bee (2021)
Mums: A Thinly Veiled Hate Letter to Regular America
This cartoonishly bad entry into the otherwise consistent Creepshow series, Mums attempts but fails to covertly take aim at blue collar Americans not living near a coast. The episode is set in Kansas, yet the cast all have southern accents? The dialogue, which one might easily mistake as being written by bleach blonde co-eds who could not find Iraq or Afghanistan on a map, is dripping with contempt for veterans, self-sufficiency enthusiasts and anyone who might do manual labor for a living. Screenwriters Greg Nicotero and David J. Schow clearly see people who live outside of their D-list Hollywood bubble as being far beneath them, but ironically still can't stop thinking about them. Not surprisingly, Nictero and Schow's pick for a horror anthology story is of course one where they get a chance to tell us who they are most afraid of: Everyday working people. This disaster-piece is probably best avoided, but maybe worth a watch just for the chuckle the viewer may have while hearing its comically bad dialog, and to gain insight at how wannabe elitists view people who live in those scary fly-over states..
