Review – The Unnamable

The Unwatchable is more like it. Here’s yet another bad monster movie that loosely bases its action on a short story by H.P. Lovecraft. And as usual for films in this sub-genre, the film-makers manage to capture the ridiculous gothic conceits of Lovecraft’s stories, weave in some cheap nudity, and ignore most of what made the author’s work worthwhile. The makeup effects are under-utilized, which is probably for the best because they’re pretty cheap. I guess if you’ve got a craving for a run-of-the-mill college-student-croak-a-rama, you could do worse. Of course, on the other hand you could do better. See if desperate
