07.03.06DVD For my midnight movie tonight I pulled one off the shelf that I for whatever reason didn't see. I think it came out too late... I was already past my Full Moon Entertainment phase and watching all the movies that AFI and Roger Ebert says I have to love... Whatever though, I'm seeing it now!

And actually that's not true. IMDb tells me that Lurking Fear came out in 1994 and I definitely rented that when it came out... same with Necronomicon so... I really have no clue why I didn't see this. Not important I guess...

First reaction? Wow Barbara Crampton got old! Second reaction: This is nothing like Lovecraft.

Mostly.... eh. I think Jeffrey Combs is good in this... that's about it. That damn cheap Full Moon-y score does a lot to ruin a lot of the vibe for me... Oh but I liked the hooker-eating scene... that was cool. Definitely no From Beyond or Re-Animator though.
