action

prolog

Unlike the previous parts of Creepshow, in the third part there is neither Billy nor the Creep and the stories do not come from a comic book. The film begins with a short, gruesome cartoon in which a little hooded figure walks through the neighborhood with his little cart, kills a dog and then sells “hot dogs”. The sausage stand is the common element of the stories in the film. The five stories take place in the same city. During the film you see elements or people from the other stories.

Alice

Alice Jacobs (Kalena Knox) ​​is a spoiled, arrogant teenager who only cares about shopping, talking on the phone and other superficial things. She hates her neighborhood. Especially the brilliant, but also strange, Professor Dayton. On her way home, she complains about it on her cell phone. There you can also see a character from another story. Viktor the Vampire (Ryan Carty), who has just come out of the house of "Fat Joe" (Pablo C. Pappano). This one seems to be the only one Alice has a good word to say about. But only because he looks good ...

Finally at home, Alice notices that something is wrong with the television remote control. Every time her father pushes a button, Alice's family changes. First they're Afro-Americans, then Latinos. Meanwhile Alice transforms more and more to her "real form". Panicking, she walks through the neighborhood and tries to find Professor Dayton, because she hopes he has a solution to her problem. Eventually she breaks into his house, where the postman surprises her. Despite the mutations on her body, Alice has nothing better to do than make fun of Prof. Dayton's wedding and eat a piece of his wedding cake. Suddenly a door in Dayton's house opens. When Alice tries to enter the room, she is back home. Everything seems to be back to normal until the father presses a button on the remote control again. Alice turns into a slimy, gross figure. When her family sees her, they don't recognize her and want to kill Alice. As she runs out of the house, Professor Dayton comes towards her. This one still has a remote control. When he presses this, Alice turns into a white rabbit.

The radio

Jerry (AJ Bowen) is a part-time security guard who lives in a rented apartment in a rundown apartment building. At the beginning you see Rachel from the third story, "Callgirl". While prostitution and drug deals are going on in the house, Jerry enjoys his evening with a radio and a glass of whiskey. It annoys him when one day his radio breaks down. He buys a radio from a homeless street vendor to replace the old one. It quickly turns out that it is not an ordinary radio. A female voice speaks to Jerry on the radio. It seems quite helpful at first as she asks Jerry to wash up and clean the apartment. She also encourages Jerry to approach Eva (Elina Madison), a prostitute he has obviously fallen in love with. But then she encourages Jerry to ransack the pimp's hiding place, which contains $ 300,000. When someone notices him, she gets Jerry to kill the witness and the neighbor. Alice's father, Detective Jacobs (Roy Abramsohn), stops by Jerry for a moment, but doesn't suspect anything. The voice on the radio suggests that Jerry leave town. As he leaves his apartment, Eva comes to him and asks him to take her with her. The radio orders Jerry to kill Eva or she will kill him. Jerry refuses and destroys the radio. Immediately afterwards, Eva finds his pistol and shoots Jerry. Shortly after killing him and then wiping the gun clean, she was shot in the head. The shooter was the pimp. When he returns to his car, a voice on the radio tells him to go and start a new life.

Call girl

Rachel (Camille Lacey) is no ordinary call girl . She kills her clients after they have sex. We don't find out why she does that. But she seems to be very proud of her title “call girl killer”, which the media gave her. The story begins with Rachel leaving the house where Jerry lives. The pimp yells after her to stop showing up because she doesn't buy anything for him. Rachel disappears into an alley, stabs a homeless person and makes her way to a new customer: Victor, who lives in Alice's neighborhood in the house of "Fat Joe". He looks very shy and has apparently never had sex. In front of the house, Rachel speaks to two boys and asks them if she should stop by later. (The two boys also appear in the story "The Professor's Wife.") Rachel remarks that it is not Victor's house, but believes that Victor is the owner's son and his brother is the family's pride, while Victor is the black Is a sheep and therefore there are no photos of him on the walls. But it's not like Victor told her, because Fat Joe and his family are hung dead in the kitchen. In the bedroom, Victor asks Rachel to tie him up and blindfold him. Said and done. But instead of sex, Victor gets a knife rammed through his heart several times. After Victor dies, Rachel throws a pillow over his face and takes a shower. Then she hears a voice that calls her: "Rachel" ... She goes back into the bedroom. When she takes the pillow from Victor's face, it turns out that Victor is alive and a vampire. He kills Rachel and hangs her in the kitchen with the dead family. The next day he gets into Rachel's car with golf equipment, waves to the a little perplexed neighbors and drives away.

The professor's wife

Professor Dayton (Emmet Mcguire) invites two former students to his home to introduce them to his fiancée. In front of his house they briefly meet Rachel, who asks them if they would like to meet them later. Totally insecure, they go to the professor, who wants to introduce you to his fiancée. The two boys are skeptical. After all, they often fell for Prof. Dayton's jokes in the past, so they don't believe the old professor is going to get married. When they see Dayton's attractive young fiancée, Kathy (Bo Kresic), they are first astonished. But then the two are convinced that Professor Dayton managed to create the perfect woman, and are certain that Kathy is a robot. When Dayton leaves the young men and Kathy alone, they get caught up in the idea that Kathy is a robot and that the professor has apparently left so they can examine the robot in peace. So they decide to cut Kathy up. Horrified, they both discover that Kathy was human ... When Dayton comes home, the boys hide Kathy's remains in the oven.

Haunted dog

Dr. Farwell ( Kris Allen ) is a cruel, stingy doctor who uses his free time to throw drug parties with prostitutes . He has been ordered to do charitable work in a free clinic for 30 days. He is very bold towards his patients and does not shy away from sexual harassment. One day a beggar asks him if he can buy him something to eat. The merciless Dr. Farwell says no and buys a hot dog himself. When he falls to the ground, he decides to give the homeless man the dirty hot dog. The homeless person takes a bite and suffers from an attack of suffocation. Instead of helping him, Dr. Farwell. After work, the ghost of the homeless man appears to him with the hot dog. Farwell drives to the house from the story "Das Radio" and supplies Victor with the promised new party pills. Meanwhile, Professor Dayton gets a voodoo doll. Victor finds Rachel's business card and is thrilled. Dr. Farwell celebrates the night with the vampires and appears accordingly tired for duty. When he relentlessly tells a young girl that she only has a few weeks to live, the ghost appears again. The ghost also appears at a party. The story ends with the doctor having a heart attack from too many ghostly apparitions and dies.

Enough

In the final scene we are at the wedding of Professor Dayton, who patched his wife back together and revived him with the help of the voodoo doll. The newlyweds leave the church, rice is thrown. To the horror of the guests, Kathy falls off her hand while throwing the bouquet. Mrs. Jacobs also remarks: "Alice will look just as pretty when she gets married." ... whereupon the other family members laugh in embarrassment. The priest asks Mr. Jacobs if his wife is making any progress. But, according to Mr. Jacobs, she is still convinced that they have a daughter named Alice. The priest advises some our father to pray.

criticism

"An unsatisfactory anthology that has little in common with the legendary eponymous show."
