Jeff H The Unnamable is remembered only by the association with H.P. Lovecraft, having been the writer of the original story. The script was ultra-cheesy, and the acting was embarrasingly awful. The redeeming factor was the magnificent look and atmosphere of the creature itself. I ordered the blu-ray based on that alone. Having seen it on VHS 3 decades ago, I remembered the magnificent horror of the creature and it's backstory and remember it only for that. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Justin T This is better than your average slasher but worse than the good slashers so overall it sits probably very slightly below average for all films. The production quality is quite low but this is engaging because of the Lovecraft lore. The acting is average at best, mostly the acting is pretty poor. Personally I really like the cinematography but I could see how most people wouldn’t like it and think the film looked horrible. The monster was really cool but I don’t think that it is true to the Lovecraft mythology. I can see how something so intangible and impossible to see with normal eyes is so difficult to translate as originally written to film.

A bunch of middle aged college students find a "thing" living in a local abandoned house. Terrible acting and cheap sets but I'll give it a mark for a not so bad creature design. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/28/22 Full Review Audience Member An hour and 27 minutes you'll never get back. Even being high didn't make it better which did work for Sharknado. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Joel C A simple horror-house film with a guest appearance of the Necronomicon. The legitimacy of the actual story isn't strong considering the house has been left untouched for over 100 years, but it's just a movie after all. The cast do a good enough job to sell their characters and the "unnamable" creature looks pretty cool once we get to see it. The gore works well and towards the end the production almost steers towards an Evil Dead style. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/21 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand why this has such a horrible reputation. Sure the acting is pretty awful, but it's some campy, over-the-top fun. It's got a nice load of little Lovecraft touches, and the creature looks really cool.
