The quote "If a man dies, shall he live again?" is actually in the novel!

[@MrRys]

but the novel is not called resurrected

[@azanathwhateley7235]

Thanks for doing this stuff man. I really wish somebody would pay attention to the way you do things here. Narration on point, editing on point, humor and bitchiness, on point man. I always enjoy your videos

[@billybatseenddeeerste1271]

"going ten rounds with pinhead", that's amazingly hillarious

[@wugglesx]

Frankly if anyone gets through one round with pinhead and can tell about without looking like frank they're amazing . 10... They're pinhead now haha

[@georgeclinton4524]

I radomly bought this on DVD years ago not knowing anything about it other than Dan O'Bannon directed and it was an H.P. Lovecraft film. I was rather blown away by what a great adaptation of the book it was. All the actors do a pretty good job as well. I'm genuinely surprised at how relatively unheard of this one is.

[@Moonbeam143]

Don't smoke, kids. Or monsters will eat you.

[@jerryb8840]

Damn i cant believe im just finding this channel. I love this guys reviews

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Im glad you found the channel and hope you can stay, new review out this saturday

[@Slappap]

The fact you get to see the dude from fright night naked is enough a reason for me to buy. Hurray for a solid lovecraftian film!

[@kurtdenter1799]

0:08 well, the "Ghostbusters" movie from 1984 was refered to as "National Lampoon's Call of Cthulu" by Kim Newman in his book "Nightmare Movies: Horror on Screen Since the 1960s", so there you go ;)

[@ethanreads8504]

Please do another HP Lovecraft month!? We need it! PLEASE?

[@jumpingman8160]

No

[@raymondhamill270]

Yes

[@sebastianemond5313]

He did another. But Deus's been a little busy due to Covid pandemic and studying. He needs more time before he does another Lovecraft month, and that's alright, as I feel with his scheduling, it'd be fine if he kept it to one or two reviews to save on stress and give him more time to rest and work. Also he's kept us plenty entertained with NBC's Hannibal Retrospectives, as well as reviews of Sin Eater, Frailty, Jumanji, Mindscape, and Return to OZ.

[@LazyPoetess]

Love the Constantine TV show reference in this review. Also, totally glad I watched your reviews for that show, because it is really good so far. I hate that it was prematurely cancelled, but that seems the norm, unfortunately.

[@HigHrvatski]

All this movie is missing is a teenaged boy spying on him and you'll have Fright Night

[@ishtarian]

The whole "I have drawn down daemons from the star" speech is a direct steal from HPL's "From Beyond", there spoken by Crawford Tillinghast. Both a nice little nod to what is likely the earliest example of a truly cosmic background in Lovecraft's stories, and perhaps a way of bringing that tale into the Mythos through the back door, so to speak....

[@sebastianemond5313]

"Demons don't come from Hell, Senator. They come from the sky." - Lex Luthor.

[@Generic64]

Please do the evil dead trilogy would love to watch a review of that!

[@keikurono192]

Wow, I can't believe it took me that long to notice the Lovecraftian elements in Hellraiser. Would that make Hellraiser an indirect Lovecraft film like Oculus?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

well I was just making passing comment about the similarities i personally wouldn't class hellraiser as lovecraftian horror

[@keikurono192]

I see, what about The Beyond from 1981? I've always viewed that film as Lovecraftian horror. But done in that special Italian horror way.

[@iwannabeyahtzee8056]

I wouldn't either. The Cenobites, while a bit vauge, have rules about what they are and how they work. A lovecraftian horror is best characterized by a quote from Deusdecadons Oculus review. All you know about it is that its fucking evil and its gonna kill you!

[@Stopvotingdemocrat]

@@deusdeaconReviews I was born and raised in providence R.I.

[@latynnadavis9624]

I just recently started watching your reviews. I work overnights and need something to listen to while I work. I’ve looked though all your movie reviews. And now there are so many more movies I’d really like your opinion on. Event Horizon and the 1995 crime sci-fi crime thriller Virtuosity are at the top of the list. (Btw love H.P Lovecraft month)

[@RowBearToe]

I am in the same boat LaTynna. Also just found him and also work nights. Love these videos.

[@latynnadavis9624]

Robert I keep hoping he’ll add new movie reviews. But HP Lovecraft month is so good I could (and have) watch them again and again.

[@Marigen1971]

I remember Chris Sarandon more as a sexy vampire than the villain from Princess Bride

[@leadvendor]

He was pretty handsome in Child's Play.

[@Slappap]

Same here. damn idk why I havent bought fright night yet. Maybe I'll buy both from Amazon rn. Ugh even trying to make him look sickly and gross in this can't hide his great looks.

[@rabidunion6949]

I would recommend NOT watching the movie Lipstick 1976 then. It will kinda scar your vision of him. Lol

[@sebastianemond5313]

Don't forget, even though Danny Elfman did the singing majority, Chris Sarandon was Jack Skellington.

[@ohdannyboy4727]

the use of practical effects and puppets was choice and well done. Thanks for the review!

[@kerouac199]

Hi, I just found your channel and I got to say some great videos and great reviews.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Thank you very much glad to have you here.

[@vinnieharris4716]

I think your videos are so underrated. You deserve so much more attention for what you do.

[@jblask2]

Did anyone else hear a meow sound at the 18:53 jump scare?

[@geniejunkie]

The comedy adaptation is Ghostbusters

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

Well done. Keep up the good work!

[@buckb6976]

I love lovecraft month!!!!

[@ivantrajkovski5055]

lovely review very well done also reanimator 2 as teh next one i assume and i can't wait for it

[@theinstitute1650]

Love your videos

[@DagobertDrug]

BEST. LOVECRAFT INSPIRED. MOVIE. EVER. The mood, the actors, character development, creature effects! I'll watch your opinion later, but I'm sure you have seen the same beauty in this beast.

[@IAmTheUnison]

It's funny that you should mention a faithful Lovecraft adaptation that's a comedy, because the more I watch of this review the more I'm reminded of an obscure comedy from the late 80s called "Transylvania Twist". There are some surprising parallels and references to this very same story.

[@gordondell8691]

As a resident of Rhode Island, I can tell you it's not that they couldn't find flyover footage of Providence... it's that any flyover of Providence would not be very impressive as Providence is a TINY city. ;)

[@jadepeppermint2734]

This was a wonderful movie i need to watch it you do a great job of getting me in the mood for scary and gory movies

[@elimgarak4667]

I watched this a few months ago after I saw half of your review. Thanks for the tip.

[@66cuda]

I watched this at a lovecraft film fest/con, an underrated film, the funny thing about the lost reference john terry was in lost, nice mention

[@funnymgtow1893]

Took you long enough to come back and give us the good stuff

[@jackwells8107]

It's funny you mentioned Prince Humperdink. As much as I love Princess Bride, I always think of Chris Sarandon first as Jerry Dandrige.

[@jessetoler8171]

It was a superb movie, and your review was excellent. I wonder if Dr Ash was named for the "salts" that are central to the story?

[@angelpena3611]

Please do pontypool that movie is great and I think it fits in perfectly with Lovecraft

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Ah yes I know it well quite strange but very interesting film, I'm planning to direct the stage play version sometime this year in fact.

[@TonberryShuffle]

[@lightningdolt971]

The creature effects herein are amazingly kickass in my opinion.

[@tatterdemalion3667]

Great review. Have you seen the other adaptation of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward? Vincent Price in Roger Corman's 'Edgar Allan Poe's The Haunted Palace'?

[@KamikazeChickenWing]

This was my first Love-Craft-Story! I love the ORIGINAL so much! X( Why can´t we have THAT story as a movie?

[@vampiremage2]

What was the "That's convenient" quote from?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

ginger snaps 2: unleashed, I've also reviewed it

[@xxxholic22]

Did you know the bbc did a podcast of Charles Dexter Ward as a true crime podcast with Alun Armstrong? Thought you might enjoy it

[@KiramidHead]

The comedy bits are something endemic to O'Bannon's style. Return of the Living Dead is the best example of that.

[@curtpopejoy9884]

Now that you are back making videos can we get more on Lovecraft?

[@pauloctober-gray6397]

Love your reviews but what is your favorite hp lovecraft movie for me it's from beyond

[@deusdeaconReviews]

favorite direct adaption, probably Dagon mainly because shadow over innsmouth is my favourite story too, and favourite non-adaption but i would still consider "lovecraftian horror" oculus

[@ral3514]

I live between Milwaukee and Chicago, you would not believe the shit I've seen on the news here

[@GaryFromLiberty]

Recently found your channel and I've been bingeing hard. Keep up the quality content and you'll get a ton of subs someday. From that opening it looks like you might do The Void, which I'd love to see you tackle

[@EddieLeal]

Actor Chris Sarandon did great in this film as well as playing the role of a vampire by the name of Jerry Dandridge in the 1985 thriller "Fright Night." You would think that he would have been given a better name. Maybe with some Roman numerals included. But what do I know. ;) lol! Great film, Great effects for the time and awesome actors.

[@ORLY911]

Man I feel bad for sleeping on this one, when I read the story i absolutely loved the part with the pit monsters, didn't expect that to be so well done in the film(or at all, budget restraints abound with HP adaptations).

[@sebastianemond5313]

7:22 - 7:45 So this is what happened to Mike Damone after Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Honestly, I never pegged him for private investigator, given the noir stereotype of private eyes hooking up with the ladies, and Damone having trouble due to his infamously mocked "little p--ck"

[@WAX1138]

Those practical effects truly are incredible. They deserve a better movie

[@thomtheaccountant5638]

Good to see Robert Romanus is still acting. Last time I saw him was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High where he played Damone, the sleazy ticket scalper. Also, @14:26, is that Tamara Tunie? Nothing listed on IMDb, but it sure looks like her!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

no it isn't.

[@camerondodge2070]

I still prefer the first adaptation of "The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward", 1963's "The Haunted Palace". The reason it's called such is that it was marketed as an adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Haunted Palace" as the series of Roger Corman Poe films were still ongoing at the time. It's the first major movie to bring some of Lovecraft's creations to the silver screen, and besides, it's Vincent Price, how can you not like it?

[@michalsokol2970]

I have gotta see this movie now, do you think I can find it on youtube?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Doubtfull but I'm sure you can find it somewhere.

[@darkone666]

I was just woundering do you consider Society (1989) a lovecraftion horror?

[@RSEFX]

Thanks for the vid. Agree on most points. One of my biggest complaints is the weak handling of the visual tone, the equivalent of HPL's use of baroque phrasings for mood-setting. But I still like much of this film. (I keep thinking---and saying----that I think Lynch has the right feel for Lovecraft, but maybe not the subject matter? That "baby" thing in ERASERHEAD??----very much out of the realm of HPL's grotesques.

[@maleficentdunn5370]

I am so frustrated I can't find this anywhere to stream.

[@rogersjgregory]

Finally, a decent Lovecraft adaptation!

[@fab0398]

Reanimator 2 next?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

well bride of reanimator, but yes

[@RSEFX]

Dubbing is necessary in the case of shooting on locations with bad acoustics (hard surfaces and no place to hide sound dampening material, or no time to do so on a budget). Also in case where the sounds of crew/cameramen etc are audible, or lots of exterior noise (planes, cars etc) can't be eliminated....many many reasons. A shame but probably couldn't be helped that so much of film---including that flyover---takes place in sunny cloudless ie bland/non-atmospheric conditions. A stationary, darker establishing shot instead of that flyover would've been better tone-setting for the story, I think. But, this could've been entirely out of O'Bannon's control. Bland -looking lead actor. I think Lovecraft works best a little removed, a little distant in time---as in, say, a film like ANGEL HEART. Weird goings-on, practicing magic, people talking about spells and curses etc. come across a bit comically under florescent lights, flashing police cars, tv broadcasts and such. Seems to me---and may just be me---that the Lovecraft "patina" would work better with a bit more or a tea-stained air, and the subtraction of modern means of communication, modern day slang and manners of speech. Of course, it is not very practical for low budget films to come up with antique cars, decorations and such (plus the need to go through real life locations looking to eliminate and/or replace everything from light fixtures, furniture and window casings, but modern appliance cords, outlets and wall colors...to say nothing of signage and markings on stores and streets on outdoor locations. Ok enough "complaints".

[@tonyabayman2344]

That opening song with the opera singer always reminds me of Resident Evil Code Veronica. So very much so that I had to track down the actual games soundtrack/score just to confirm they weren't the same piece of music..Did anyone else hear it and think the same as I did by chance? At the very least, it must be admitted that they sound remarkably similar.

[@pierremings8274]

Do you know the name of the opening song

[@creatureslim]

Job 14: 14 If a man die, shall he alive again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Makes more sense in full NGL Also the before verse and after are very encouraging for being in a bad place that make you think of suicide. Because its from job. Where the devil is allowed to torment a man of God to see if he will turn against God for the harships.

The Mountains of Madness seems to be a cursed film at this point. There have been god knows how many attempts and scripts to try to turn it into a film over the years and they all come to nothing.

[@sigmacademy]

22:59. Another point that I would like to raise about the movie is why was the house blown up? Shouldn't the explosives be planted underground in order to destroy the creatures (to some extent) and all diaries and notes be destroyed, so that nobody else can replicate the same outcome? o.0

[@SomaC-7]

This movie appears to be based on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, yet the movie made no mention of Yog-Sothoth which I believe Ward summoned to enact some of the strange things, but I could be mistaking that for another tale.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Well it doesn't "appear to be based," it is based on the story simple as that, Yeah they don't mention yog-sothoth but apart from that the film is almost identical to the story.

[@SomaC-7]

@@deusdeaconReviews I was hoping I had the right story in mind lol. I actually recently finished reading the Lovecraft compendium of stories he wrote, and that one was for sure in my top favorites, along with the Dream Quest for Unknown Kadath and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. I'm heavily inspired by Lovecraft anyway for the stories I'm writing, and to see other fans breaking down and analyzing movies and other media related to his works is really cool. And your channel, so far, is probably the most in depth I've seen so far in terms of reviews and pulling stuff apart to get at the nitty gritty cool stuff. Great job :D

Apparently this movie had a troubled post-production. The studio clashed with the writer-director and re-edited it against his wishes, 30 minutes were cut from the movie, distributor went bankrupt, forcing a direct-to-video release.

Hello. I have a movie I quite liked but it is older and considering the era offers production it falls prey to a number of fallacies. Periodically I look back and wonder if this movie was more one of the instances that you get what you put into it, which leads me questioning myself as to everything I liked is something I either Consciously or subconsciously put into it I am interested in your opinion or to see whether or not the movie inspires you to diagnose the weaknesses or the strengths of this movie. Last I heard it was available on Netflix if you're interested. Mr. Frost with Jeff Goldblum. Near as I figured this story doesn't do your thinking for you. You have to understand the nuances to get it. I am interested in your thoughts. Not being a gamer the other subjects don't River my attention like some of your other cinema pursuits.

The private dick finding the documents in the suitcase wasn't really all that shocking or convenient. An investigator like him should have basic knowledge of how and where people hide stuff. Basic tradecraft really. Suitcases or briefcases with false sides and the like are pretty common so if he just felt the padding, he would have found the stuff easily.

Vincent Price played Ward and Curwen better. Just saying'.

[@Blisterdude123]

To be fair, the story TCoCDW itself is hardly a simple, sequential narrative itself either. It jumps backwards and forwards all over and through, so I gave the film a pass for relying on it this time. All in all, I kinda enjoyed this, except for the obvious moments the film struggles because of its choice to restage the story in a modern setting. A lot of the mysterious/blatantly criminal aspects of Ward's character and the horrific murders (lol, wild animals turning a guy into skeletal paste) are easier to write off in an older setting where communities and such are more "isolated" and methods of policing and medicine less thorough and such. It's harder to swallow when you know it's the 1980's/90s.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

never said the book didn't do that, but its still something I found note worthy

[@RowBearToe]

Will you be doing a review of Cthulhu (2007)? The film is loosely based on the novella "The Shadow over Innsmouth" and features a gay protagonist. I guess that was a marketing thing to exploit the metaphor for the horrors faced by a gay person returning for a relative's funeral and having to face the horrors of small-town life. The film premiered June 14, 2007 at the Seattle International Film Festival and officially opened in select theatrical venues August 22, 2008.
