(Shocking! you will no doubt say …).<br /> <br />DMD! is, well, old. And not much of an adaptation. Re-Animator and From Beyond are great fun, and though take liberties, they are surprisingly faithful where it counts. Dagon is more of a true horror movie, and a pretty decent adaptation of Shadows over Innsmouth though alters the ending … a little. In the Mouth is indeed a “mash up”, but a pretty fun freakout. I hesitate, though, to recommend anything given what my friends think of my “taste” in movies. But they’re all fun romps and if you like Lovecraft and horror, are worth a watch. (Re-Animator is regarded as a classic of the 80s comic-horror sub-genre. And it is somewhat comic … if you like your humour as black as a Shoggoth.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036813487997145746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-15774957516777321842012-08-03T06:42:00.333-04:002012-08-03T06:42:00.333-04:00it does seem odd when you look at how faithfully t...it does seem odd when you look at how faithfully they stuck to CoC, a movie that really should be unfilmable.
