Two-Fisted Tales

About This Movie

So, ‘Two-Fisted Tales’ really tries to capture that gritty essence of the EC Comics from back in the day. Even with its uneven execution, you’ve got this interesting mix of horror and war. The wheelchair-bound Mr. Rush is a rather unique host, dishing out some dark humor and commentary. Each segment—‘Showdown,’ ‘King of the Road,’ and ‘Yellow’—has its own vibe, but they all share a certain rawness that feels authentic to the source material. The pacing can feel a bit off at times, yet there’s something fun about how it attempts to create that anthology charm reminiscent of ‘Tales from the Crypt.’ Plus, the practical effects add a nice touch, giving it that old-school feel that collectors often appreciate. It’s not a home run, but definitely a curious piece to have in the collection.
