Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Sillynomicon., March 10, 2008 By  Robert P. Beveridge "xterminal" (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews       Necronomicon: Book of the Dead (Brian Yuzna et al., 1993) Brian Yuzna's anthology flick of Lovecraft-themed (it would be abusing the word to call them "adapted") tales is as uneven as its stable of directors would have you believe. Yuzna himself directs both the wraparound sections, which feature Jeffrey Combs as the hapless Lovecraft, who spends a day at the library studying the Necronmicon and writing tales based on what he reads there. He also directs the final segment, which is pure Z-grade Yuzna; if you like his movies, then you should have no problem with the basement-budget special effects and the inept acting (surprising, given that the two main actors in Yuzna's segment are Signy Coleman and Obba Babatunde, both relatively early in their careers). Meanwhile, Christophe Gans (Brotherhood of the Wolf) directs the first segment, the strongest of the three. It's a tale of an aristocrat (Bruce Payne) who inherits a house with something nasty living in the basement. Lovecraftian indeed, and seems to draw inspiration from five or six different stories. The middle piece should have been brilliant. It's based on my favorite Lovecraft story, "Cool Air", and is directed by Kaneko Shusuke (currently enjoying a great deal of fame with the live-action Death Note franchise). The problem is Brent Friedman's script, which is more painful here than in the rest of the movie. But then, what do you expect from a guy whose greatest achievement to date has been the script for Infested, the Carlton-vs.-the-Giant-Ticks movie? Well, it could have been worse, I guess. Certainly not the worst movie I've seen this week, but if you're a Lovecraft purist, avoid it like the plague. **  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
