How can any body call this piece of @#% Lovecraft,
By
This review is from: Beyond the Wall of Sleep (DVD)
Just because a hulking monster with writhing tentacles out of it mouth appears for 3 seconds you can't call this Lovecraft. This is an awful movie. It tries to be psychological by constantly bombarding the view with shaky images of bloody stuff. The movie steals all the clichés of Asylum movies and throws in a few scenes where high school level acting is attempted. If you want a better Lovecraftian adaptation, check out the movie Dagon. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Oh. . .one more thing the special effects guy should study a bit more anatomy the gross scenes would be more scary and realistic.

1 star movie - 5 star commentary,
By WesternWorld "Western" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond the Wall of Sleep (DVD)
I would encourage you to rent this movie, but watch it with the commentary. The commentary by the film makers is hilarious! The movie commentary transformed what could have been a waste of time for the evening into a fun and quite enjoyable affair. The film makers definitely have a sense of humor about their work (and more than one vodka while creating the commentary, I suspect) so you get uninhibited flowing humorous commentary throughout the whole thing. Plus, it did increase my empathy for low budget film makers and the problems they face.
1 star movie -- 5 star commentary -- I'll give it a 3 star for average. Definitely fun and enjoyable to watch with commentary.

Better luck next time,

This review is from: Beyond the Wall of Sleep (DVD)
Hey, I'm an H.P. Lovecraft reader, and my expectations are high. I'm always hopeful when the title of a movie `says' the film is inspired by HLP. But . . .
The writer/director was really--really trying, but he lost control from the beginning. The film began with a series of disjoined images and dialogue which were startling, but there was no suspenseful build up. Okay, it's difficult to put Lovecraft on the big screen anyway, but the stilted dialogue didn't help. The range of acting ability was uneven, and that didn't help. Also, using black and white, well, why? B&W can be used to build a great mood and suspense but this film had neither so using B&W footage was pointless. And the blood and gore just for the sake of it . . . better luck next time. If you want to watch Lovecraft on film, rent the `Resurrected' with Chris Sarandon or go back to `Re-Animator.'
