And I'd cite In The Mouth Of Madness as one of the best Lovcraftian horror films. It's not based directly on anything he wrote, but his fingerprints are all over the flick.

I have a bad tendency to get people's last names mixed up, I meant Sam Neill.

--- Quote from: KvP on 08 Oct 2009, 18:22 ---I guess if you like Lovecraft, Stuart Gordon's a pretty ace director. I think he did Dreams in the Witch House for the Masters of Horror collection, he directed Reanimator and outside of Lovecraft he made the awesome black (black black) comedy Stuck, which is based on that story some years ago of the woman who ran someone over with her car and left him to die lodged in the windshield of her car for several days. It takes a bleak story and just makes it so much meaner.

Outside of Re-Animator, Dagon is another great Lovecraft adaptation (and much closer to the original story than Re-Animator). I also loooove a little-seen flick of his from the mid-90s called Castle Freak. Another in the long line of great Jeffrey Combs performances, with a terrific monster.

Yes, as a Lovecraft fan I think Gordon's probably the best theatrical interpreter of his work. I loved how Dagon in Dagon is literally shown for less than a second—exactly how it should be. And Dreams in the Witch House was pitch-perfect.
Which, frankly, makes his directing of The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit that much weirder.

Must...track down...
And while we're on the subject, has anyone seen his Fear Itself episode, "Eater"? (Does anyone else remember that show? Haha.) I watched it the other day thanks to FearNET OnDemand and it was awesome, clever and graphic and weird. One of the highest points of the series...would be the highest point if not for the great Larry Fessenden's "Skin & Bones".
