Mo S. @9mr_0 Dec 7 فيلم غريب ما حبيت البارت الثالث دموي زياده عن الازم See more Jens B @Jens97 11/02/2023 This anthology feels like three episodes from the later seasons of TALES FROM THE CRYPT but with really great special effects! My favorite is probably the first tale because it captures the feeling of a Lovecraft story the best. The rest of the bunch doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially the third part. But it never gets boring and just when you think you're too confused by what's happening story wise, you'll feel pure joy experiencing the next slimy, gory creature effect. Fun to watch! See more Ted B 07/24/2023 Its very very bad. If you like terrible horror, this might be for you... 3 schlocky horror stories wrapped up with some incredibly odd "plot" about H.P Lovecraft reading the Necronomicon on the sly... which has nothing to do with any of them. I genuinely felt bad for the actors having to say some of those lines, but hey, I guess they got paid.

The first story is pretty good, the second is pretty dull and the last is awesome. The wraparound is one of the best in this type of movie. The first story was good with a great amount of creepy monster effects and scary moments. The second story left me cold. The third story was great with like demons and stuff. The wraparound would have been better as a separate story but it is very entertaining with a great ending (just like the first and third stories). Four stories in one film and three of them are great! This is a gritty classic. See more 02/11/2022 A marvelous anthology film that pays contribution to my list of “melt” movies!!! See more 10/28/2021 "He's bettin' God's a goner. Putin' all his chips on another horse." In the framing story for this anthology we find a Indiana Jones-esque Lovecraft (Jeffery Combs) acquiring a copy of the highly coveted and guarded Kitaab al-Azif through duplicitous means from the library of a mysterious US-based Arabic cult. The three tales told are very loosely based on Lovecraft's works and the tone remains rather consistent across the entirety of the film despite multiple directors being involved. The segment directors include Brian Yuzna ("Re-Animator", "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", "Warlock", "Dagon", "The Dentist", "Society", etc), Shusuke Kaneko ("Gamera" [1-3], "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah", "Death Note", etc), and Christophe Gans ("Brotherhood of the Wolf", "Silent Hill", "Fury of the Demon"). The effects were well done and above average for a straight-to-VHS movie, especially considering the difficulty in visually representing indescribable horror (apparently they were supervised by none other than Tom Savini!). The segment based on "Cool Air" was my favourite for both the plot and effects. A worthy addition to any cosmic horror collection. See more Read all reviews
