Tales from the Darkside: The Movie (1990)



Paramount
Directed by John Harrison
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Paramount)

Creepshow-style anthology, with a connecting segment featuring Blondie singer Deborah Harry as a witch who is preparing to feast on a newspaper boy, who tries to stall her by telling three stories. The stories include a graduate student who uses a mummy to extract revenge; a hit man who has been paid to kill a cat but instead finds himself as the victim; and the final story involving a gargoyle and a broken promise. Well-made, with established Hollywood actors (Christian Slater) and writers (George Romero, Stephen King), if not terribly original.
