The Lurking Fear: HP Lovecraft Month: Deusdaecon Reviews

[@stonewell1217]

welcome back we did miss you

[@drift2196]

Hell yeah we did!!!

[@acepc2]

I love how you point out the movies downfalls but also give credit where it is due! this is my second video of yours about hp month and I'm really enjoying it! Likely about to binge watch this channel

[@WordUnheard]

I don't know how I forgot about your reviews after Blip disappeared, but I recently came across your channel again and have been making up for lost time. Your reviews, along with Cecil's from GoodBadFlicks, are two of my favorite reviews on KZbin to date.

[@mikefang9995]

Glad to see you back, and doing more Lovecraft stuff! I did notice the new location, and was wondering (up until your end message) if you'd moved again. Hope everything's alright on your end.

[@jamesdrew8222]

Great review! I'm glad to see H. P. Lovecraft Month back and hope to soon be in a position to start supporting you on Patreon! We need more smart voices on film and it's obvious that you really have a great love of and an intelligent approach to these films!

[@svnhddbst8968]

9:55 duh, it's a plot hole hole.

[@thomaskphillips2582]

Vincent Schiavelli was referred to as "The Great One Scene actor with sad eyes" he does 1 scene in most of his films according to Roger Ebert

[@SumWulf]

I saw the void in the opening credits... does that mean we're gonna get a video about that movie? :D

[@deusdeaconReviews]

yes I will be reviewing the void

[@SumWulf]

Deusdaecon Reviews awesome, I can't wait :D

[@quinnzykir]

Deusdaecon Reviews I love that movie:3 I love that the mute character lives at the end

[@SumWulf]

Marcus Zyker imagine not being able to tell anyone about the horrors you've witnessed

[@quinnzykir]

NaumWolf exactly. Luckily he could still write about them.

[@filteredRays]

good to see you back, man! i've pretty much watched all of your stuff in the downtime, looking forward to seeing more now that you're all settled in!

[@toddjames3707]

HP LOVECRAFT MONTH IS AWESOME YOU DO GREAT REVIEWS MAN

[@lerouxpurple7766]

Always love Lovecraft month, and great to see you uploading again! Thanks as always for great videos!

[@johnthecrazed5679]

You should do the Curse and Die Monster Die next as they’re both films based on The Colour Out of Space. But both apparently just take “the meteor that mutates everything” and that’s it.

[@ishtarian]

There's also "Die Farbe", a much more faithful adaptation. (It can be found either under that original title, or "The Colour Out of Space". The director was working on a Dreamlands film which looked extremely promising, but I've no idea whether that has been abandoned due to lack of funding or not. If so, that's a damn' shame, as he is one of the few who might well pull such a thing off, being very respectful of the original source material....

[@vampiremage2]

I think this is the first and only time I have ever seen Jeffery Combs (sp?) with a beard.

[@markportwood4045]

Remember hiring this out on a VHS tape that was ancient then. And oddly staring Jon Finch who was great in Hammer House of Horror TV series excellent Witching Time episode. Really enjoy your reviews.

[@FilthTribeFTP]

Wow, never heard the word "hiring" used to describe, what I am assuming is in place of, the act of "renting", but now that I think about it, it makes sense. You "hire" a person, say to perform a job, for a set amount of time in exchange for money. So, why couldn't you "hire" a movie from a movie rental store for a set amount of time in exchange for money? Although, it wouldn't work the other way around in this case, lmao. Saying that you are "renting" somebody would be a bit suspect to most people, either in regards to you enjoying the company of hookers or that you like to temporarily have slaves do your bidding, lol. But still, it is a pretty strange term to hear, where I am from, which is the USA. Where might you hail from?

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

Nice to see that H.P. Lovecraft Month is back. Keep up the good work!

[@baxssy6345]

Lol, thanks a lot for doing this! I got in about a third of the film, having no clue what's going on and I am still kind of missing the point but this video made things clearer. As you said, I only came for Combs and also Lovecraft but...this was agonising, I just couldn't finish it. So yeah, now I know what's going on & had some laughs so win win!

[@bZman]

Hell yeah! HP Lovecraft month!

[@jackwells8107]

I'm surprised you didn't say more about Vincent Schiavelli. I've considered him an awesome character actor and genre actor every since he played John O'Connell.

[@thomaskphillips2582]

Vincent Schiavelli died in 2005 boxing day I think check his wikipedia page he was in 1995 Clive Barker Lord of Illusions film

[@JimmyJabJimmyJab]

Fun Fact: Andrew and his reviews are second to none!!!!! All hail the king of reviews!!!!! 🙌🏾

[@Luffarjevel]

Just found this channel, and I think I watched all your reviews over the course of two weeks. So glad to see you're still making new content.

[@RenegadeVile]

[@Heard40k]

Good to see your reviews again :)

[@harmonlanager2670]

So I haven't read Lurker in The Lobby but I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say it's "The Resurrected" that's up next?

[@leathery420]

Fuck yeah, buddy! Been waiting, anyway welcome back.

[@Trencher1375]

Great review and welcome back.

You always have the best reviews out of everyone on the site and you are in my top 3 favorite KZbinrs of all time thanks for the great videos.

[@joannesuzieburlison7128]

I didn't read lovecraft as a kid, I think it was over my head, but I'm going to now, I love these!!

[@leadingblind1629]

I'm not much of a Lovecraft fan but ... love the reviews, Andy. Looking forward to more as always.

[@Shrizzy7]

Congrats on the move!

[@MrJking012]

The Caulkin joke had me laughing pretty good. Thanks :D

[@darrylconte3551]

I really love hp lovecraft base movie review

[@Desmodontidae78]

For someone typically observant of interesting details, I didn't hear you remark on the inclusion of prolific character actor Vincent Schiavelli in the cast, who played Knaggs. I rented this movie back in the day and, true to 90% of Full Moon's catalog, it was a dumpster fire, but it was nice to see Schiavelli still working. I also recall the videotape case falsely attributing the story to Bram Stoker, which was why I rented it in the first place, but that could be the fog of time creating a small Mandela Effect for me.

[@pauloctober-gray6397]

You sir are amazing love your video's 10/10

[@gaminggear5090]

Happy new year by the way

[@billiedoll4560]

i'm watching all you vids (andmaking sure to leave likes!) they are great!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

thank you very much I really appreciate that.

[@troyschulz2318]

Yet another great review. I preferred the other background though.

[@pablobratcat]

Can you do one that compares "Color out of Space", "Tommy knockers" and "The Curse" as they're all based on the same story.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

tommy knockers is based on the Stephen king story of the same name

[@deadpan80]

11:25 oooooooooh snap - shots fired!!!

Hey Deusdaecon. I don't know if you plan doing another HP Lovecraft month, but I have some film suggestions... 1: Beyond Re-Animator 2: Into Madness: The stories of HP Lovecraft 3: Necronomicon, bodeadok of the dead.

[@bigbaddawg101]

It's a Full Moon Studios production, what did you expect? They sell their movies at Kmart for a dollar.

[@cheshire5114]

Yes, this was perfect timing.

[@reesebear2]

More Lovecraft baby!

[@eduardojara6955]

Thank God has back and reviewing a H.P Lovecraft movies.

[@eduardojara6955]

What is the song in the begging of the video when you show clips from the movies, it so good and chilling.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Its from the amnesia a machine for pigs soundtrack called kyrie

[@glentalbot9166]

Have you seen THE BEAST WITHIN? It's a really loose take on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.

[@LothairOfLorraine]

Glen Talbot TBW.a take on CDW? I have seen both many times and I dont see the connection. .?

[@bilakos1987]

That intro music is nice. Can you please tell me the song?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

It's called Kyrie from the soundtrack for the game Amnesia: A machine for Pigs

[@bilakos1987]

@@deusdeaconReviews wow that was fast! Thanks!

[@liamrushak3684]

I'm surprised that he probably didn't know that TNT is actually highly unstable and that if you handle it wrong it goes off.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

its only unstable when the nitro glycerin starts leaking from the clay, if its regular tnt you can throw it on a fire and it won't go off it needs a fuse.

[@VintageRubyFilms]

Yeaaaaaah...wiping your hand along a stick of dynamite that's supposed to be sweating nitroglycerin would almost certainly result in a rapid onset of excruciating migraine headache. Exposure to pure nitroglycerin like that causes blood vessels to dilate and massive headaches

[@sandroodinga8554]

I love to watch your videos :) For lovecraft, how about the movie "the mist"? Greetings from switzerland :)

2:21 I'm pretty sure I remember Sylvester doing something like this in a Looney Tunes cartoon. XD

[@masterwolf2863]

This can't be a stephan King story since we lack the psychic unless the bad actor dying in the opening was psychic

[@weeznaz8195]

Are you in Nostalgia Critic’s old house? That yellow wall is exactly like what he used

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Last time I check his house was burning down around him so I’m glad I’m nowhere near it.

[@weeznaz8195]

Gocha. On a separate note I love your show. I miss the intro on your newer videos, but enjoy your perspective

[@niiling]

Again a great review. I would be interested if you already watched "The Whisperer in Darkness"? It´s a really amazing adaptation of the book.

[@JohnDickinson]

Hole in floor is a physical manifestation of hole in plot.

[@CoolG97]

Ah a Deusdaecon review and a Lovecraft one to boot. This should be good.

[@xen0bia]

Question. I'm pretty much a HP Lovecraft illiterate but love cosmic horror. What would be a good starting or jumping point novel?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

The shadow over innsmouth always a quintessential classic. or The Call of Cthulhu

[@Rebellion_009]

xen0bia bloodborne

[@xen0bia]

Thanks. So far I listened to the audiobook version of Shadow over Innsmouth, Lurking Fear, Dunwich Horror, Nameless City, Dreams in the Witch House and Call of Cthulhu. I enjoyed them thoroughly so far. It was interesting to re-watch this movie review having read the source material.

[@XxHellsingrulzxX]

"What is this? A Steven King movie?" I literally have a seven page essay on unnecessary tropes that occur almost exclusively in Steven King novels. Pissed off my English teacher to no end.

[@WordUnheard]

It's *Stephen* King, not Steven. Unless you're referring to a different author. If you're going to trash an author, at least spell his name correctly. And you wrote a whole seven pages? That's cute. Stephen King would call that the foreword. One more thing. There's no such thing as a Stephen King movie, unless you're referring to that godawful "so bad, it's good" Maximum Overdrive, as all other movies were adaptations of his works. In the hands of a subpar director, any adaptation can make its source material look like a steaming pile of dog crap. But as we've seen with directors who actually know what they're doing, Stanley Kubrick (The Shining), Brian De Palma (Carrie), David Cronenberg (The Dead Zone), Rob Reiner (Stand By Me, Misery), Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist), John Carpenter (Christine), and Andy Muschietti (It), adaptations of King's works can range from good to phenomenal. I know everything I said came across as snobbish, and some of it was, but Stephen King deserves a ton of respect. He has practically set the stage for horror as we know it, over the past four decades. Sincerely, Your English teacher Not really, but wouldn't that have been a clever twist? No? Well forgive me, *Lola* . I'm no Stephen King.

[@totallynotbrucewayne6215]

Word Unheard Dude piss off. Stephen king novels are garbage.

[@LostStarzOfTheSky]

How about this instead, Stephen King has a tendency to fall back on well worn tropes, and some of his books are extremely silly and overblown. Also some of his writing tends to drag and it can get very dense, and his characters can be extremely unlikable. I personally loved the book Misery, found the Dark Half interesting. But Cujo made me want to set all the characters on fire, and It was dull, and took way too long to get going.

[@asmahism]

LostStarzOfTheSky Stephen King would agree with you about cujo, he was an alcoholic and using a ton of cocaine when he wrote that and a few others. Give the shining a shot. If youve seen the movie you’ve got an idea but the book is very different. Or pet semetery.

[@raymondhamill270]

While we're on the subject would anyone like to ay the Stephen King drinking game?

[@loki_l_1380]

Love your reviews man. I often find myself replaying them on the left side of my monitor as I write. By the way, if you could recommend, let's say, 5 horror films of any period, what would they be?

[@putridsunrise192]

Seems like you got a bootleg dvd or something. Either that or whoever transferred the digital file of the film onto disk fucked up big time.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

It apparently because full moon like to film on digital and then grain it up to make it look like film, "apparently", regardless its definitely not a boot leg.

[@gaminggear5090]

Dude I know a movie you can review called stay alive

[@KiramidHead]

The look could just be a poorly transferred DVD edition of Full Moon's standard house look, where they would film on video, then process it in such a way to make the footage look vaguely film like.

[@sr8shoota]

what is media res?

[@deusdeaconReviews]

in medias res, Latin for "into the middle of things" its a narrative device for a story that opens in the midst of action Often, exposition is bypassed and filled in gradually, either through dialogue, flashbacks or description of past events.

[@bloodytapes4516]

I liked your review and I like this movie. It reminds me of Night of the Living Dead.
