Tales from the Darkside: The Movie Ratings & Reviews

March 17, 2025
I came for Blondie but I stayed for Mr. Robot 🤖 But seriously an all star cast for this Stephen King turd but John Ritter and Seth Green for IT wtf? 2.9/10 💩
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
For horror fanatics, this one needs to be seen, especially in tandem with other '80s efforts like it, but on the whole, it's not one worth catching if you have better options.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
A clever and sardonic continuation of the Creepyshow style.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
As a scary movie, and in general, Tales From the Darkside is a safe production. [Full review in Spanish]
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
A competent, consistent horror anthology.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
All three stories are well-realized and fun, with a knowing use of wipe transitions and other gleefully arch visual tricks; only the wraparound threatens to become a little too self-aware.
House Next Door
Odie Henderson
Privilege is also a crime in Cat from Hell, which once again pits the rich against a supernatural force for whom money holds no currency.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Suffers from being a very grim and bleak anthology film with a narrative structure that never lives up to the innovation of "Creepshow."
TV Guide
Dull, derivative horror anthology.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
A disappointment, but not a complete waste of time.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
hanks to casting that is savvier than the horror norm, and to direction by John Harrison that is workmanlike and sometimes even witty, at least it's fun.
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
A Creepshow ripoff that wallows in the fact.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Not nearly as cool as Creepshow, but a lot better than...Campfire Tales? Deadtime stories? Tales from the Hood? Creepshow 2? See, there just aren't enough cool horror anthologies out there.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
"you'll be terrified -- that you wasted your time"
Apollo Guide
Kurt Dahlke
This group of tales is perfect for your low-calorie horror midnight snack.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
Offers the kind of variety and creative opportunities that help paper over the movie's weaker narrative aspects.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
This is just another miss along the lines of Creepshow and Twilight Zone: The Movie.
