3.0 out of 5 stars
Ed Wood is alive and kicking..., October 13, 2001
This review is from: Cthulhu Mansion [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Okay, nobody should rent (or buy) "Cthulhu Mansion" based on the H.P. Lovecraft blurb on the box; I've read two reviews that call it "the world's worst [Lovecraft] adaptation," and this movie definitely isn't for any of his fans. BUT... for fans of Juan Piquer Simon, the modern-day Spanish equivalent of Ed Wood, this is a must-see. "Cthulhu Mansion" is hysterical, a mess of poor story, direction, acting, etc. that makes it the director's best film to date. For fans of bad horror, this is a slice of heaven--for Lovecraft fans, it's bound to be the equivalent of pulling teeth.

H.P. Lovecraft is spinning in his grave, November 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cthulhu Mansion [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst films ever made. The hooligans who invade the magician's house are laughable, as is the dialogue and lack of scares. Terrible. How do you pronounce the title? Don't watch the movie, no one ever says "cthulhu." If I could rate this below one star, I would.

Err....it's....ok...., May 12, 2000
This review is from: Cthulhu Mansion [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This has to be one of the most poorly done movies ever made, but surprisingly it's worth wasting an evening to sit down and make fun of it. It has no resemblance to any Lovecraft story, however, so in that respect it truly bites. The acting is horrible, so horrible that you hope that they weren't trying too hard.
