It's easy to see why Body Bags was something of a clone of Tales from the Crypt. But as a standalone film, Body Bags is Carpenter at his funniest, as director, composer and in his rare appearance as a lead actor.

High-powered modern horror directors and a good cast, but not much to it.

Not too shabby, but the masters of the genre could certainly have cooked up something more tasty.

You can tell everyone had their hearts in the right place with Body Bags, but the end product just doesn't really deliver the goods the way I was hoping it would.

As a compilation, it's only a mediocre horror effort.

Occasionally predictable but still has a significant amount of suspense, a healthy dose of black humor, and a number of good performances.
