Review: ‘Tales from the Crypt’
October 5, 1993 | 12:00AM PT Tony Scott
First out of the three-seg “Crypt’s” opener, “As Ye Sow,” pits Hector Elizondo against his own jealousy as he hires sleazy P.I. Sam Waterston to find out whom his wife, Patsy Kensit, is romancing. When he’s told it’s a progressive priest she sees every day at mass, John Shea, he’s sure Waterston’s right after meeting the cleric. If the ending’s no surprise, the production is well acted and handsomely produced.

As Ye Sow: Directed by Kyle MacLachlan of Twin Peaks fame, this episode tells the story of a man who believes his lovely Irish bride to be cheating on him. A private eye figures that since she hits the confessional booth every day that she's probably nailing the priest and so the husband has him put a hit out on Father Sejac (John Shea). Of course, things don't go as planned and the parable that this episode is titled after proves to be true after all. You can see the twist coming in this one but it's still got a bit of a punch at the end thanks to some clever directing and good performances. Adam West of Batman fame has a small part in the opening scene.
