I just watched it on Sci-Fi, I can't believe I didn't catch Wes Cravern or Sam Raimi! Sheesh, I feel bad for that, I got John and Tobe though.
In any case, I liked Hair most, mainly because the set-up was really funny, the pay-off wasn't all that great but still, a nice way to spend part of the afternoon. Then Eye (Ah, Mark you're so adorable Even when you're a demented baseball player Yea.) and then the Gas Station (The best part of that segment [
Aside Sam's cameo!
] was the picture on the bathroom stall, I wish there was more graffiti like that.)

I like the first one the most. It had the eerie effect, for which I'm a fan of. I didn't care for the "Hair" segment. It wasn't scary at all and seemed out of place in this decent film. I enjoyed the movie.

I loved "Hair" as well hilarious and weird. The "Gas Station Attendant" was terrific also, though the buildup was greater than the payoff. "Eye" was good, but it went exactly as I had expected.
I was very pleased with this anthology. Usually there's one clinker in these anthologies, but this was was solid gold. 8/10 stars. -

"Gas Station" was genuinely scary and I loved it. Probably my favorite. "The Eye" was very good as well. I thought Mark Hamill (whom I adore) did a good job playing a normal guy who goes psycho. And his Southern accent wasn't half bad. "Hair" was pretty good but it seemed more like a "Creepshow" segment than John Carpenter.
The Doctor: I have to live on. Alone. That's the curse of the Time Lords.
