What is it about hitchhikers that makes them such a sure-fire bet for horror? This question is addressed in the final segment of Creepshow 2, another Stephen King-George Romero collaboration. "The Hitchhiker" is the simplest and best of the three tales on display here, with Lois Chiles as a cheating wife who just can't seem to get rid of a hitchhiker... no matter how hard she tries. The collection gets off to a slow start with "Old Chief Wood'n Head," a sleepy story of Native American justice. "The Raft" is a passable teens-in-peril number, but it worked better on the page than on screen. Romero adapted the King stories but emphatically did not direct, which accounts for the drop-off from the kicky fun of the first Creepshow. King appears as a dimwitted truck driver--a foreshadowing of Maximum Overdrive? In any case, this one's for diehard fans only. --Robert Horton

 The Raft January 1, 2006
Emily R. Jarrell (Newport News, VA United States)
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
The raft story with the teenagers was so scary it stayed in my mind for years after. I don't know what it was about this one short segment of Creepshow 2, but let me say, it was quick, it was brutal, and it was clever. I feel bad saying it, after all, people work hard and spend a lot of budget money to bring us all these modern scares, but this one simple, frightening, story sticks to your mind.
Three Effective and Scary Horror Tales October 4, 2000

The team of Stephen King and George Romero are back with three more hair raising tales. And all three are scary in their own right, more so than the five tales in this movie's predecessor."Ol' Chief Woodenhead is about a wooden indian that comes to life in order to exact vengeance for the murders of his kindly shopkeeper owners. "The Raft" is the best story of the lot. A gelatinous "thing" attacks four helpless teenagers stranded on a raft anchored in a lake in the middle of nowhere. Kind of "Jaws" meets "The Blob" this is insanely creepy and alone makes the video purchase worthwhile. The special effects are great and the fear factor high as you watch the teens gradually realize there is no escape. "The Hitchhiker" has two things going for it, lots of blood and Stephen King as a potty mouthed truck driver. The constant reappearance of the dead hitchhiker was somewhat confusing and not properly explained, but it's a movie so I'll let it slide. There's a good helping of car-on-pedestrian carnage that's a great way to gross out a squeamish friend. As in the first movie there are little snippets of animation throughout that are an added treat, this time a venus fly trap gets a tasty and nutritious meal (just ask Jonathan Swift, oh wait, he's dead). Bottom line, if you own the first movie you have to have the sequel, which in my opinion is far scarier than the first movie. So all you little Creeps out there get your copy now!

CREEPSHOW 2 IS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE. THE FURIOUS INDIAN WAS GREAT. THE HITCHHIKER WITH MADD BLOOD WAS GREAT. THE RAFT WAS THE BEST. THE INDIAN HAD MANY LINES THAT YO CAN QUOTE LIKE "MOVE IT LADY OR I'LL BLOW OFF YOUR OLD MAN'S OKOBUSHEES"
Creepshow 2 - Kicks Arse! February 21, 2000

Yesssss, they don't make 'em like this too often. This movie is truly bone-chilling! I love all 3 stories on here, the best one is definitely The Raft, followed by The Hitchhiker, and last but not least The Indian story. Rent this baby, or better let, just buy the freakin' tape, watch it super duper late, and sit back and embrace True horror! This one is alot better than the 1st one. The Raft story alone is worth buying, have the pleasure of viewing this enormous-grotesque looking blue blob that floats in the water, and is in desperate need of some fresh blood! The 4 scared teens have to escape this death trap somehow... Some other movies worth checking out are... Necronomicon:Book of The Dead, Bodybags. Creepshow 2 rules!
This movie is fun 80's November 17, 2005

I remember seeing this movie when i was little at the theaters. I was not scary but it was fun. I'm not into anthology movies but i like this movie even though is not like the first one. The segment the raft is the best. Like the animation wrap around too.
