H.P. Lovecrafts Necronomicon: Directed by Christophe Gans, Shûsuke Kaneko, Brian Yuzna. With Jeffrey Combs, Tony Azito, Juan Fernández, Brian Yuzna. Lovecraft visualizes 3 stories in Necronomicon: The Drowned, The Cold and Whispers, about bringing a dead wife and child back to life, extending life and aliens.

“I rented this film because Iu0026#39;m a fan of HP Lovecraftu0026#39;s writing, and two of the directors have done things I liked (I enjoy several of the films either produced or directed by Brian Yuzna, I loved Shusuke Kanekou0026#39;s 1995 Gamera film, Iu0026#39;ve yet to see anything by Christophe Gans), I found it to be rather disappointing. Despite some interesting special effects (by Tom Savini and Screaming Mad George, among others), I had a hard time maintaining interest. The second and third segments of the film are nothing like the Lovecraft stories theyu0026#39;re supposed to be based on (Gansu0026#39; segment isnu0026#39;t based on a particular story, but the Cthulu cycle as a whole). The final segment of the film, directed by Brian Yuzna, is probably the best. The framing segments with Jeffrey Combs as Lovecraft were kind of amusing, but overall, Iu0026#39;d only recommend this film to hardcore fans of Yuzna, Gans, or Kaneko.”
