Plot:
The catacomb fight scene in the dark was cool. Lots of blood drenched aftermaths in this movie. Chris Sarandon is a champ
A particularly solid Lovecraft film that treats the material far more like the author did himself than someone like Stuart Gordon (love his work, but he does get uber-sleazy). O'Bannon shows still he's a far better writer than director, but he did some amazing touches with this film that is another great example of early-90s B-movie coolness. Unpretentious, great effects, Chris Sarandon as a psychomaniac, mad scientist work, and a gothic atmosphere transposed to modern times. Good times for those who dig Lovecraft stories and hate that there's still not enough good adaptations of his work. It ain't perfect, but it sure as hell beats the usual crap named after his masterpieces.
Maybe it's just impossible to get Lovecraft properly translated to the screen. Anybody have some suggestions that might prove me wrong?
The Resurrected begins with the taint of TV-movie, through its low budget set design, 90s costumes, and hoary voice-over. Chris Sarandon is terrific in his dual roles, though. Once the story goes underground to the evil Curwen's caves, the movie becomes one freak-out after another.
Pretty standard Lovecraft adaptation, with a female romantic interest that probably wasn't in the original (which I'll admit I haven't read). I keep reading that the special effects seem dated, but the actual "monsters" were more than sufficiently weird and creepy to me (and FAR superior to the creature in The Unnamable).
