Editorial Reviews

According to The Lurker in the Lobby, this is one of the oldest known amateur adaptations of a Lovecraft story. This faithful adaptation of "The Statement of Randolph Carter" tells the strange story of the demise of occultist Harley Warren. It was shot in the summer of 1987 with a home VHS tape deck. What it lacks in image and audio quality it makes up in sheer sanity-blasting length. It features Darryl Tyler and Sean Branney and was directed by Andrew Leman. The Testimony of Randolph Carter a student film; it's NOT The Call of Cthulhu. But if you're a collector of anything Lovecraftian you may still like it. Format: NTSC, Region 0, color, running time approx. 50 minutes. Note that image and sound quality are diminished due to age an quality of original footage. The disc feature no special features of any kind.

This review is from: The Testimony of Randolph Carter (DVD)

"The Testimony of Randolph Carter" is a movie adaptation of the 20th Centuries finest horror writers, H.P. Lovecraft. This movie is made by the same Lovecraft disciples at, The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society; and was made by them years ago with energy, intelligence and the energy of youth. The high personal quality these fellows put into their work imbues it with that un-purchaseable quality, 'production value' - it looks great. Their personal touch has created a golden work from a few good props and a lot of personal effort that no amount of money can just 'buy' - it has to be felt and somehow conveyed to the screen and they did it years ago as young men. "The Testimoney of Randolph Carter" is a great cornerstone of any collection let alone and H.P. Lovecraft collection. I'm not a shill for, The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society but, they have many fine Lovecraft media including audio and video productions. As a connoisseur of H.P. Lovecraft's works I thank the HPLHS very much for bringing this and many others to life! No, seriously, I don't work for them. I just know quality when I see it, and you will too.

Sincerely,

Joe
