Bloody fun from beginning to end. It's nothing genius but a truly entertaining anthology. It's like _Creepshow_ but much darker. Often with horror anthologies, some stories will be better than others, but that's not the case here. All three stories, plus the wrap-around, are all excellent. The score is well-chosen and adds the creepiness of each story. The build-up in the second segment is sublime with some impressive practical effects!

My original review of this film is almost entirely backward. My re-watch proved to me that "Lot 249" is the best story, with "Cat From Hell" being not as good. The weakest story is the one I originally called the best. "Lover's Vow" is a pretty boring romantic tale with a twist that I should have seen coming and I'm now embarrassed to say now that I didn't. Shame on me.

Kind of a hokey horror-comedy, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie is too tongue-in-cheek for its own good. In the film a suburban witch is entreated to three tales of horror by a young boy that she’s preparing to cook. However, the stories are rather lame; a mummy that comes to life, a killer cat that won’t die, and a gargoyle that falls in love. The writing is really poor, and is full of clichés and painfully bad stereotypes. Yet the cast is surprisingly good, and includes Christian Slater, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, and James Remar. Tales from the Darkside: The Movie is mildly entertaining, but it just isn’t able to pull off the campiness and clever wit of the television series.

The first thing to note about this movie is that it looks so much better than the TV show that it's spun from. Granted, the TV series has the disadvantage of 1980's fashion sense and some pretty bad accompanying music, but this movie was much easier on the eyes. The "wraparound" story is a pretty b More

Okay anthology horror movie, the first one, "Lot 249", was the best due to the cast (Slater, Buscemi, Moore) and also enjoyed "Lover's Vow" even if the animatronic effects weren't the best. However, "Cat from Hell" really dragged the film as a whole down, almost dozed off a couple of times during th More
