| | slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Creepshow 2 |
 | | Unless, of course, the whole enterprise is yet another worn-out riff on the Friday the 13th blueprint wherein libidinous and good-looking teens suffer coitus interruptus at the hands of a psychotic and prudish punisher. |
| | "The Hitchhiker," the film's final and best segment, would appear to be engaging in the exact same anti-sex paranoia, although at least Lois Chiles's urbane diva (who, in her very first shot, parades her breasts in front of the camera almost nonchalantly) is married and cheating on her husband with a paunchy gigolo. |
| | Chiles's fizzy and frazzled portrayal of Annie Lansing, the woman who accidentally mows down a hitchhiker, flees the scene and is terrorized to discover that he won't go away, is almost too good a performance for the Creepshow archetype (much like Viveca Lindfors and Adrienne Barbeau in the original). |
