Review – The Dunwich Horror (2009)

I liked this picture more than I should have at least in part because I expected it to be a great deal worse than it was. The biggest names in the cast are Dean Stockwell (star of the first, dreadful screen adaptation of Lovecraft’s classic tale) and Jeffrey Combs (From Beyond and The ReAnimator). So I figured this for another Stuart Gordon sack of rubber monsters and pointless boob shots. Thus I was pleasantly surprised when the film-makers made a respectable attempt at a good movie. To be sure, it deviates substantially from the source story. But at least it’s in the same ballpark. Mildly amusing
