One fan says,
” An unmissable horror film black comedy that’s one of the very best H.P. Lovecraft adaptations ever made. This is true for every film, but on every rewarding rewatching, there are still more subtleties that Writer and Director Richard Stanley has intricately woven into his film. Nicolas Cage clearly loved the chance to participate, giving a fresh performance that feels complex and naturalistic.”
