Reviews:

Decent adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story.
Sandra Dee (the original GIDGET to you beach bunny fans) is Nancy Wagner, a virginal blonde student at Miskatonic University who meets Wilbur (Dean Stockwell), the grandson of a warlock who was lynched years earlier.

Wilbur shows interest in the Necronomicon and in Nancy, because he needs both to open a gateway for demons called “The Old Ones” to enter our world. He invites her back to his secluded home in Dunwich, where he keeps her drugged, plots to sacrifice her on a seaside altar and fights with his senile, ranting grandfather (Sam Jaffe). A strange-looking, barely-seen, multi-headed flying monster that sees things in negative (and looks kind of like GHIDRAH!), is kept locked in the attic, but escapes for the silly finale.

It’s amusing to see the once-wholesome Sandra Dee saying sex is “great” and simulating orgasm while being groped on an altar, but she should also get credit for delivering a decent performance. Ditto Ed Begley in his last role as a heroic professor. Stockwell is so soft-spoken and weird it’s hard to gouge just how good (or bad) his performance really is.

Compared to most recent H.P. Lovecraft adaptations, this isn’t half bad and it all looks very cool and colorful. Roger Corman was the executive producer. Director Haller also made DIE, MONSTER, DIE, which was based on Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space.”

The Power Of A Good Story
I rented this movie today and went over to my sisters to watch it. She took out the movie that she was currently watching to check out what I had. I guess she was enchanted by CGI and dumb dialog because in mere disappointment, she said, “what is this old sh#%?!” when the opening scene was playing. By looking at my “you’re a simpleton” stare, she was quiet and continued to watch the movie until it froze.

Due to this being a very old CD that was used many times, it was dirty as hell and I had to take it out to clean it.

Needless to say, once it was cleaned, the show was on and going and I had not heard another peep of disapproval from her because the story is a great one despite it’s out of date dialog and mannerisms.

I will not go into the story of this movie but rather just ask, who doesn’t like a good ‘ol HP Lovecraft story? I’m sure there will be many who will pick apart the movie because it’s not up whatever standards that they hold but in defense of it, for its day (1970) it’s pretty good.

It doesn’t matter if the blonde was dumb and oblivious to evil, or dean stockwell’s fake mustache, or a semi, photo transparent, hologram monster, or old school 3D visuals of horror.

I mean anyone here knows that in this day and age, if we’re lucky to have a girl (purposely) stranded at our house for the night, we just don’t offer them a nightgown, but hey, at one point, I guess that was what people did. But none the less (again) it’s a good film for it’s time and still decent enough to stand up to most of the crap that’s coming out of the celluloid grinder.
