Necronomicon

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

I can see your point, and certainly don't begrudge anyone for liking it. It just didn't do it for me. Sorta like Kill Bill; I liked Kill Bill, but I didn't LIKE Kill Bill like I thought I would. I thought Tarantino was off track through most of the movie, but I have to hand it to him for trying his damndest!!!!! Did love the spaghetti Western music and the Navajo Joe reference, though. (damn, I love Navajo Joe!!!)

Too bad we don't live in the same area. I bet we could see a lot of movies together and get into a lot of friendly arguments. Most of my friends are indie fans (which is fine) but care little for exploitation.

I loved Kill Bill. Gotta agree, the music was good throughout.

See, I'm a fan of just about everything. Indie or exploitation, doesn't matter to me. I can watch anything. So I'm sure we'd be quite the pair of film geeks. Too bad indeed.

I bet your a big Burt Reynold's fan. Hehe.

I love Navajo Joe in SPITE of my huge hatred for Burt Reynolds.

Hahaha. I somehow knew you were going to say that.

I watched 'Necronomicon' last night. I thought it was pretty good, although the concept (4 stories, with one being a wraparound story to tie the other three together) is nothing new. It kinda reminded me of 'Tales from the Darkside - the movie' & 'House on Terror Tract'.

It starts with Jeffrey Combs as Lovecraft. It's always a good thing to see Combs in a movie, and here it's no exception. He was pretty good in the wraparound story.

Although I thought the first story was the weakest, Bruce Payne was still pretty good in this one.

The second story was the best, in my opinion. David Warner was great as the guy with 'the skin disease'. The characters were all really believble, which only addes to the story.

The last story was probably the goriest. The story itself may not have been all that original and it's also kinda predictable, but the gore & the effects make up for that. I thought the special effects were really good throughout the movie, especially for a movie with (I assume) not too big of a budget. In conclusion, I would recommend this movie to any horrorfan out there, which would probably be everybody reading this.

Hey D'Lo, did you happen to think that Combs looked alot like an older Bruce Campbell with his make-up on in this film?

Yeah, he did! They looked alot alike. Did Combs have like a prostetic chin or something in this movie?

He HAD to have. I'm just wondering if it was a nod to Campbell or did Lovecraft actually have a huge chin too?

I have no idea. It would be cool though if it really was a nod to Campbell.

Indeed it would be. I still wish the two would make a film together. Imagine the possibities......
