Essentially this film is an average slasher-style horror dressed up in cosmic-horror clothing. The creature is done very well, but my own personal highlight is the over-dramatic Carter, whose behaviour and lines are perhaps the most Lovecraftian things in the whole film.

There is little characterisation offered and one of the best monsters to ever be created is also ultimately wasted on this film.

A descent horror flick. The Unnamable was...fake..and stupid. Although it was kind of funny, and somewhat enjoyable towards the end. Very slow-paced, though.

Here's a movie from my childhood! Quite an intriguing horror movie, a must see.
