Tales from the Crypt: Lover Come Hack to Me (1989)
Episode 5, Season 1
Decent enough to watch, but the writing's way too simplistic

"Do you love me?" asks woman. "I love you" says man. "... for your money" mutters man under breath.
That sums up 50% of the lines in the first 15 minutes of the episode.
I've found the writing in Season 1 a lot weaker than the other seasons (and understandably so), but this one just felt more repetitive and 'tell over show' than others.
The end twist felt weird, but so did the whole story. It had no impact from the constant discussion of wealth in the beginning, and I felt like it didn't invest enough oddity into the "family tradition". It had room to expand into something occult or supernatural, but just stuck as a tradition; nothing more or less.
Realistically, not bad, but not great. Worth a pass.
