Rating: - Cast a Deadly Spe..
This may not be everones cup to tea but I loved it! Wish it was on DVD!!
Rating: - A campy romp through the Mythos
If you like the unremitting horror and cosmic indifference of H P Lovecraft, bordering on that of Nietzche then this is probably not for you. If you like the work but don't take it or yourself too seriously, you will certainly enjoy this and other takes on the subject such as Raimi's Army of Darkness and other campy titles. It certainly stands well above a large portion of the poor quality and disjointed attempts at the Lovecraft interpretation put out by low-budget film-makers in the last few years. For a purer approach, I woul d recommend The Call of Cthulhu, produced as a classic silent film by the H P Lovecraft Historal Society and other such quality features as Cool Air.
Rating: - Love This Movie
I love this movie. It's a quirky mix of hard-boiled detective and occult fantasy. It's funny and clever. I wore out my old VHS copy years ago and would love to have it on DVD.
Rating: - Why isn't this movie on DVD?
This deserves a DVD, whether on it's on own, or with a few of similiar, lower-profile films. Why don't the production companies look to see what films people actually *want* to buy, instead of what they think people want to buy? If it's a 'cult' film, they can put a few together; most people tend to like the same type of films, the same actors; it's not brain surgery people! We'd probably have a lot fewer bargain bins at Walmart if they did this! Please, move into the modern world, give us a DVD. :)
