Tough call on choosing between Lovecraft and Marriage, but I have to live with one of them.

As a married man I too concur: "better to face the wrath of Cthulhu and the Elder Gods than 'she who must be obeyed' " best, - Jay p.s.

Nolan (he's also showng LOGAN'S RUN and BURNT OFFERINGS that week here too) and Jason Brock (he did that Charles Beaumont doc last year). Should be a good time! They'll also be showing MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS and THE CALL OF CTHULU. Are they any good? Oh, and HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, complete with Emergo, is on the bill o' fare too. And a brand new Forry Ackerman work-in-progress doc, THE ACKERMONSTER CHRONICLES. I love Buffalo film festivals at Halloween.

Not that you need my recommendation but I do anyway. I hadn't been following the production blog so was surprised it is a feature length motion picture talkie of 90 minutes or so. Terrific silvery b&w photography that looks like film (even though it was shot digitally) and a film from Universal in 1931. The mimicry of the style is very pleasing and the opening titles will make you smile if you're a Universal fan. Great take on the story and yes it has been expanded to fill the feature length but with "scenes that Lovecraft would have been asked to write had he been working for U in the '30's" according to director Branney. The story hits the HPL mood and creep-o-meter in all the right places and there's even some low key humour. Terrific acting by all involved, excellent effects. Saw it with a respectful audience of about 150+ or so. We got shortchanged on the Q&A because the previous movie slot ran late but it was nice and, had a short chat afterward with another couple of fans while waiting for his transport.

Oct 10 11 11:19 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I thought Brian Yuzna's segment in Necronomicon (1993) was an outstanding reinterpretation of the tale. Unfolds like an extreme hallucinatory nightmare, and he dispensed with the somewhat silly, dated & stodgy brains-in-cans & alien meat puppetry ideas. I'll still give this apparently much more faithful adaptation a look though I wasn't particularly fond of the experimental style of the previous H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Call Of Cthulhu. I watch horror films to be creeped out not to sit back & admire a particularly director's avant-garde approach.

I think the avant-garde approach you're talking about was just the fact that their budget was... what a couple of hundred bucks? Anyway, I thought it was fresh, original and fun and Whisperer looks to be even better. Doesn't hurt that it's my favourite Lovecraft (short) story. Brains in cans... I LOVED that part!

Oct 13 11 4:50 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hoping to check it out this Saturday, along with the ACKERMONSTER CHRONICLES doc-in-progress. If the kid don't need a ride home from the homecoming dance, that is! Fingers crossed ..... Anything anybody wants me to ask the documentary guys about the Forry Film? Or William F. Nolan (I think he'll be hanging around too)?

Turns out the scenic paint artist (responsible for the colors that were photographed in b&w, among other artsy things) is actually from Buffalo, so she was there, and we chatted a bit. Keep an eye out for this one.

Oct 17 11 10:15 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm a sucker for good Lovecraft adaptations (my favorites being Stuart Gordon & Brian Yuzna's work) and I'm hoping this is as good as The Colour From the Dark which I saw only recently. The fact that so much of what happens in the latter part of that film remains highly ambiguous (much like Lynch's best work) due to the insanity & the rotting brains of its central characters from the highly alien & mysterious, possibly sentient, cosmic rays/colour out of space made it seem much smarter & more sophisticated than most H.P. Lovecraft adaptations. That is just a marvelous & creepy premise for a horror film. Hoping this film continues in that vein.
