Lovecraft, Arkoff, and Haller, oh my!.......2007-05-27
Die, Monster, Die! (Daniel Haller, 1965)
Do I need to say anything more than "H. P. Lovecraft in the nuclear age" to get you to see this? I do? Okay--Boris Karloff acts in an H. P. Lovecraft adaptation ("The Colour Out of Space") produced by Samuel Z. Arkoff that reflects the predominant nuclear fears of the fifties and sixties. Does that help? It better, because that's really all I should need to say. You already know "The Colour Out of Space." If you don't, get thee hence to the library. And you should already be familiar with Samuel Z. Arkoff. If you're not, get thee hence to the video store. All you need to do from there is combine the two, and you have Die, Monster, Die!. You really can't go wrong. ***

The Dunwich Horror (Daniel Haller, 1970)
These days, you can get The Dunwich Horror and Die, Monster, Die!, the two Arkoff/Haller Lovecraft adaptations, packaged on one chock-full-of-cheesy-goodness DVD, and lemme tell you, it's oh so worth it. This is the better of the two films, if only because Arkoff didn't rely on one big star to propel the film--he recruited a stable of the rising and falling of the day that includes Ed Begley (Sr.), Dean Stockwell, and Sandra Dee among its principles. Fans of prurience for the sake of prurience take note: this is, in fact, the one film in which Sandra Dee has a nude scene. (I use the term loosely--a quick flash of ******--but still, it's SANDRA DEE.)
Once again, I say: if I need to recap the plot for you, you need to go read Lovecraft. The Dunwich Horror is a slightly more faithful adaptation, thanks to the waning of the nuclear hysteria that was still in full rage when Arkoff and Haller collaborated on Die, Monster, Die!. Ever the bandwagon-jumpers, though, this movie is all about psychedelia. Lots of heavy filters here, man. I'm sure this movie is a blast to watch when stoned to the gills. A fun, fun movie. *** ½
DEAN STOCKWELL AND SANDRA DEE STAR IN THIS.......2007-04-13
increadibly amazing and mesmerizing film. I could not imagine a better actor, Stockwell is beyond my expectations, his eyes and mustache make you believe he is an alien. This kind of movie does not exist anymore, and will probobly never again, because nobody can make them like this anymore. If you are tired of the creepy little kid horror movies of today and tired of that con artist M Night Shalomanon (or whatever) and want something fresh and quite entertaining, buy or rent this, plus its a double feature. Wow and the Les Baxter sountrack is even better that the film!
Decent DVD.......2007-03-24
I really liked this DVD. However, my advice is to buy it for "Die Monster Die!". Boris plays an awesome roll as always, one of the few last films before he passed away, and Nick Adams, a truly awesome actor, who is sadly missed, who knows what kind of "star" level this actor would have today if he was still alive, but, his acting will truly be missed.However, the second film is just a pure dud to be honest. I would have given it a 4 if it wasn't for this film. I like Stockwell, but, this isn't one of his best films..and the late Sandra Dee in a horror film?..you got to be kidding!..anyways, this film is nothing but a filler at best.
All corny, 70s-style........2006-12-29
Well, to keep this brief for those who are tire of long rants, I liked it. Rent it, if you are an HPL fan. It stays fairly true to the Call of Cthulhu story, but throws a ton of cheesy 70s style flower children prenteding to perform "unholy rituals" action scenes. Well, you get a few [...] shots, so, for some that may redeem these cheesy attempts at scary rituals, which ran amok in that era of horror films.
The guy from Quantum Leap does a decent job of being the moody, evil sorceror descendent, carrying on the "family business", and yo get to see a little skin from the one time wholesome actress, Sandra Dee. yes, that's right, Sandra Dee. She either wanted to change her image or needed some cash. At any rate, if this movie would have been made in more recent times, it would have been awesome.
It was nice, dark, and creepy, and is worth a watch, by old Hammer, Arkoff, and Corman horror buffs as well as he usual HPL fans.
Uh oh, I ended up making a short story long...oh well.
Elder god-o-meter gives it two tentacles up.
Run For Your Live, The Dunwich Horror Has Arrived On DVD.......2006-06-09
This is a very frightening and creepy, 70's teen horror classic. Dean Stockwell and Sandra Dee shine in this cult classic.
The Devil's Spawn Is About To Open The Gates Of Hell!
Single white warlock seeks beautiful blond babe to join him at the altar... the sacrificial altar! When the son of Satan (Dean Stockwell) seduces a wide-eyed college student (Sandra Dee), it's a match made in hell in this "exceptional, truly engrossing film of the supernatural" (Los Angeles Times) where the romance is hot... and the terror is bone-chilling!
Young Wilbur Whateley (Stockwell) has haunting eyes and an impish grin. No wonder, since his father was the devil and his mother was insane! So when Wilbur decides to start a family, he lures a cute coed (Dee) to the mountains for a weekend of demonic rites and wrongs! Now all hell is about to break loose, as their passion awakes an ancient evil determined to destroy all humanity in this sinister scare-fest of satanic seduction!
