Lea Thompson stars as Sylvia Vane, coming from such films as All the Right Moves, Red Dawn, the Back to the Future franchise, Howard the Duck, and other non-horror roles. I guess the producers put the bulk of their casting budget into the premiere episodes, and the star of this episode. It fits the theme of Tales from the Crypt characters getting their comeuppances in the end, but even that is a bit hollow, since this main character is alive in the end… even if she may rather not be.Ģ by gunshots: 1 lame, 1 pretty over-the-topĪctors/Actresses of Note: This is a pretty bare cast. A 10 minute montage would be a bit much.) The story is pretty boring, dragged along by some very solid acting performances that allow for a laugh here and there. Unfortunately, that was the only ten minutes I can give credit to (I’m adding the pawn shop scene. It’s a great scene, especially when following up a scene with a creepy pawn shop owner and his collection of plaster faces. “Only Sin Deep” balances its horror with Leah Thompson using a nice ’80s montage to showcase her shopping spree that she uses to get in the door of a private, high-rolling party and meet her sugar daddy.
#Tales from the crypt only skin deep series#
The Tales from the Crypt series was able to play with comedy because it could easily lean on visuals and audio.
Comic lines like Tales from the Crypt, The Unexpected, and The Vault of Horror didn’t play with much comedy unless it was a pun or two from the omniscient storyteller, or it was just lost on me because I was young and it’s hard to pick up on tongue-in-cheek themes when reading. Critique: One of the elements that makes a good Tales from the Crypt episode is a nice blending of comedy to go with the horror stories being showcased from the comic books.
