The Resurrected: HP Lovecraft Month: Deusdaecon Reviews 

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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 ;)

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

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

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.

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....

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

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

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

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

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

Well done. Keep up the good work!

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?

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

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)

The comedy adaptation is Ghostbusters

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

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

Love your videos

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

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.

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

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

Just watched this. Great film

I love lovecraft month!!!!

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. ;)

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'?

A flashback, of a flashback, of a flashback, of a flashback? That must be a new record! ;) :P

10 rounds with Pinhead? Give that guy a medal. People usually survived half a round going head to head with Pinhead.

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.

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?

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

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

Cthulhu-sempai wouldn't even notice me let alone destroy me. Smoke away.

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

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!

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

The creature effects herein are amazingly kickass in my opinion.

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).

Once more, welcome to Lovecraftian Land... And that cranking noise 😊😁😄🤣😂

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

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

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.

Great find, I am going to track this down.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Criminally undersubscribed channel.

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

Finally, a decent Lovecraft adaptation!

And just imagine, Brent Friedman went on to write Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

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

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

With all the mention of Clive Barker, I'm hoping maybe you'll do a Candyman review

Will you be doing rewiew of bride of reanimator. Love your rewiew

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"

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.

You should check out a film called dreams in the witchhouse directed by Stuart Gordon it was part of a short film series called masters of horror

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?

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.

About the documenys, he is a PI. Might have experience with people hiding stuff in places like that. And he might have felt the documents when checking it out :)

Is that Damone from Fast Times at 7:47?

3:25 HARTFORD CONNECTICUT REPRESENT ✊🏼😂

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

What's name of the movie where a guy is staying in a lighthouse and shows the lighthouse keeper ducking a mermaid

The effects are totaly gut wrenching I wonder if the guy who did the effects for the thing did these as well

Reanimator 2 next?

Please review the void

Are u exited for the call of cthulhu game and are u disappointed about the cancel of the mountains of madness

What exactly is "media rez"? Ive heard Andrew say it a couple of times now and have no idea what he is referencing.

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".

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.

Lovecraft Month went by too fast. I wish there were more movies covered in a month's time. You do a nice job of it.

dude... you need to be resurrected via a detailed review of RE:The Final Chapter.

The film wasn't originally titled THE RESURRECTED, so the opening biblical quote wouldn't have been as obvious.

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.

Boy I can tell that Off the Shelf Reviews watched this video.

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. Hope you're inspired but I do understand that a confrontation with a manifestation of the devil may seem small when the Outsiders are your more normal dissertations. Deb

I live in providence R.I.

I thought trying to turn metals into gold and creating philosophers stones are alchemy, not magic. So, is alchemy a scientific form of magic?

The beautiful Chris Sarandon is naked in a clip of this movie and his body is gorgeous!

Avoiding police investigation Blood in the road Horror movie like town Sounds like typical Rhode Island to me -O

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.

So youre a big HP Lovecraft film huh?

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.

I thought Re-animator was a comedy, a dark comedy but still.

The anti smoking psa's make want to smoke more

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

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.

Petty dabbling... I see what you did there.
