4.0 out of 5 stars Great Horror Movie, December 3, 2005
This review is from: Necronomicon: Book of the Dead [Import] (DVD)
Simply lots of fun to watch, don't know why it has not received better ratings. Guess some people expected more, I got what I expected: A good horror movie I would like to have on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, January 26, 2009
This review is from: Necronomicon: Book of the Dead [Import] (DVD)
Ok, i feel terrible that so many people give this movie such bad reviews. In all seriousness it is poorly acted and the special effects are pretty lame. But isn't that the point with horror. Horror is all about the philosophical ideas it presents. Lets face it philosophy isn't visual. The movie is thoroughly entertaining on par with Bad Taste and Dead Alive. I would also like to add that despite the criticisms that this is in no way related to any Lovecraftian idea I have to wonder if people actually watched the movie. I love the stories of Lovecraft but they surely don't translate well visually because they are so philosophically based. This movie does well to take those same ideas and potently visualize them. The movie is about as weird and akward as Lovecraft himself was. Don't expect to be terrified but expect to laugh and maybe sleep with a light on for a few nights.

4.0 out of 5 stars Necronomicon: Book of the dead, September 28, 2007

This review is from: Necronomicon: Book of the Dead [Import] (DVD)
I love H.P Lovecraft. I like the idea of a movie based on the "dark and eldritch book" which he dreamed up. I love this movie. Sure its low budget and at best "loosely" based on anything Lovecraft. BUT what it doesnt do for literary fans it does for entertainment. Did you like "Bad Taste" by the guy that did lord of the rings? then this is for you. the quotes from the thing are well worth it "Sarah, they took my mind, they need us..... to breed" was all it took to capture my heart. its a bad film, but its a great bad film/
