Rish Outfield's reviews
You know, it's been so long since I saw this movie, I can't remember much. I
do remember Jeffrey Combs was in it, playing H.P. Lovecraft (you gotta love
the guy), and that it was an anthology (which are pretty cool). It had
really good makeup effects.The first story was fun and really rocked. . . damn,
folks, if you ever have a movie review page, review
the movie after you see it, not months later, okay?
The tyranist's thoughts
I have always had more than a little soft spot for Lovecraft and it was fun to see these stories brought to film. None
of the stories is tremendously terrifying (or insanity inducing), but it was a pleasure to watch. The gore alone is
well worth the view.
