The Dunwich Horror

Post by Eternities End »

I just watched the 1970s take of the story on Drive in Classics, it was pretty hilarious. The production quality wasn't too bad for a 70s horror movie, it was missed the story quite a bit, but when I think about it, it could of been worse. The music was hilarious, probably ruined the whole feel of the movie. Whatley wasn't a goat man and for some reason his grandpa seemed like a good guy. The Son of Yog-sothoth was pretty funny, he had a kind of color vision he used to kill people with. One of the big problems was the final confrontation was really weak...essentially the Dean and Whatley just yelled at each other until Whatley caught fire and fell off a cliff (he didn't die trying to steal the Necronomicon, he actually killed a guard with a spear!)

Overall I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10 shitty twangy horror soundtracks.

Sometimes I wonder if there is actually a curse against making a movie based on Lovecraft that gets even the broadest details rihgt-other than the HPLHS one.

It does seem there are more bad Lovecraft adaptations than good ones.

I've always wondered how one could film The color Out of Space. I suppose just filming in black and white would work, but still...

I saw that movie. I forced myself to sit through it. It was a bad idea, the garbage is burned into my retna now.

Outside of not actually showing the color, I suppose one could hire a massive team of psychiatrists and computer programmers and do some subliminal-messaging/group selection evolved images that would be frightening and maddening beyond their first appearance, but who has the budget for that?

You could always just wave a towel around, that looks pretty scary on film.

The clip looks pretty good. Are you producing it? If you are, I'll yell at you with what I think are insightful comments essential to producing a truly effective Lovecraftian film.
