I read (most of) this for a class last year. It was extremely dense, but infinitely enjoyable from what I understood of it.

Good direction. Bad plotting.

As the songs are of epic length and mostly musical, this album requires a certain degree of patience. If you possess any it will certainly be rewarded.

Nice pictures, but I’m not actually going to pay money for Justin Richards’ flimsy analysis. I read this one in Borders over a period of two weekends. Took me about three hours, max.

I’m loathe to admit I actually read this. Oh my goddess. Oh buggar.

I suppose the shame is lessened by the fact that I was required to do so in my freshman English class of high school.

Poe is one of the only American authors I can tolerate. It’s little wonder Lovecraft was so inspired by his work – his mathematically taut tales are such that their conclusions are served by every preceding sentence.

This was so horribly bad I can’t even begin to describe it. Almost as bad as Space Mutiny. I might have drowned myself in an innocent dog’s blood had it not been for the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 commentary.

Infinitely satisfying upon the first viewing… I was half expecting something more cringeworthy, but there’s scarcely anything cheezy about this film. True to the spirit of Lovecraft, the only major drawback apart from the oddly anachronistic nature of the vignettes is the simple fact that Lovecraft wove a rich tapestry of tales around the Necronomicon, none of which were included or even alluded to. Cryptobiosis!

Some of the characters are really a bit flat, but this is a painstakingly created, faithful adaptation. It’s not necessarily my favourite Lovecraftian film, but it’s definitely the best.

Some of the concepts are good, if a bit bland, but the Cenobites are awesome.
