Movie title: The Dunwich Horror (1970)
Based on what story: The Dunwich Horror
How good is it, (from 1 to 10, 10 the highst): 8
Where I can buy it online: Amazon, Netflix

Your personel thoughts on it:  It's my favorite Lovecraft film adaptation.  The effects are pretty good, but the acting is great.  The adaptation is not totally faithful but it's very entertaining and brings the HPL vision to life nicely.

Movie title: The Resurrected (1992)
Based on what story: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
How good is it, (from 1 to 10, 10 the highst:) 7.5
Where i can buy it online: Amazon, Netflix

Your personel thoughts on it:  It's a good low budget adaptation of CDW.  The acting, imho, is the weakest link with the exception of Chris Sarandon who chews up all his scenes.

Movie title: Call of Cthulhu (2005)
Based on what story: Call of Cthulhu
How good is it, (from 1 to 10, 10 the highest): 10
Where i can buy it online: Amazon, Netflix, HP Lovecraft Historical Society

You personel thoughts on it:  The best HPL film ever made.  Nearly perfect in everyway.  Even better than the HPLHS' more ambitious work on Whisperer in Darkness.  If you don't like this film than I doubt you'll find an HPL movie that suits you! 

[T. Kelly Lee]

Movie title: Dagon (2001)
Based on what story: Shadow over Innsmouth
How good is it, (from 1 to 10, 10 the highst:)  7
Where i can buy it online: Amazon, Netflix

you personel thoughts on it:  Euro porn meets HPL.  It's not a faithful adaptation of Innsmouth, but it certainly gets the wet reptilian dread of the story right.  Watch it to see Innsmouth brought to life as a creepy Spanish coastal village.  

BTW - If all Deep One hybrids looked like Macarena Gomez, I would be so down with "mixin'."  Just saying.

Movie title: Die Farbe
Based on which story: "The Colour Out of Space"
How good is it (from 1 to 10, 10 the highest): 8 or 9
Where I can buy it online: http://www.cthulhulives.org/store/storeDetailPages/die-farbe.html
Where I can se it online: You can't, as far as I know.

Your personal thoughts on it: It's quite a nice German-language adaptation of "The Colour Out of Space." The budget and production values are about the same as the HPLHS, and is distributed by them, although they didn't make it. The only complaints I have about it are very minor -- a few slow scenes, some cheesy special effects, that sort of thing.

Ahh yes, she is quite lovely.  I've had a crush on her since I first saw Dagon.

Sooo...Cabin in the Woods.  No spoilers, but I checked it out at the weekend and my comment is: lame.  "Horror" for horror novices.  The premise: HPL ripoff.  The scares: predictable. 

[Eric Lofgren]

I see Cabin in the Woods as a major commentary on the nature of horror in movies as they are today (or at least of CitW's writing, which was a while back now). Which kind of explains the predictability aspect of the movie, since it's kind of a satire on all teen slasher movies that have ever been made. I thought it was brilliant

Yes, that's exactly what it was.  And I guess I went into it expecting something a bit more esoteric, hence my disappointment.  I suppose the fact that I'm utterly sick of zombie films didn't help - even in satire I've tired of seeing them.

Agreed. I enjoyed it very much precisely because it was predictable/satirical. I came expecting to laugh and I did, despite the fact that it got at some of my phobias. So at times I was scared, but I enjoyed it. (And I never ever ever enjoy that kind of movie.) Especially loved the bit with the elevators at the end.

So it's Scream?

So it's Scream?

NO!  Not at all.  It's done very straight.  I would call it "dark satire." 

[Eric Lofgren]

It's Scream up until a certain point. And then it gets very...um.... different
