I've just been getting into reading the original EC Comics stories that these "Tales From the Crypt" episodes were based on. This is a terrific episode... But I just thought it was funny how different it was from the original comic. The only things similar are a cabin in the woods and a mysterious, wet, stranded woman. The title actually makes sense for the comic...
But no worries... I just thought it was interesting. Curious to see if I find any more adaptations in the series that are this different from the original comic.
Anyway... on to the actual episode. Brooke Shields is totally effective, as is Peter King. I really don't want to give too much away, as the plot is pretty twisty...
This really isn't one of the funnier episodes of "Tales from the Crypt"... just a nice, scary little crime tale. The prologue is pretty damned funny though. Some great Cryptkeeper puns!
Watch it and enjoy. Hopefully all of these episodes will be streaming somewhere soon. HBO Go? C'mon! As of now, they are readily available on DVD.
