H.P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon(1994)
Production Company: New Line
Genre: Horror
Runtime: 96
Rating: R
Necronomicon begins with an interesting cover design. What is
apparently a copy of the title book, The Necronomicon, and an intriguing pair of
female eyes looking over it with fire about the edges. That is the best part of
this movie. Necronomicon begins with H.P. Lovecraft himself, the soulless
bastard who has subjected us to this crap, entering a library to find the
necronomicon. However, the librarians, or monks, or something, dont know that.
He goes to a private room to do his writing. While the Big H is there, he writes
three stories that are meant to be possibilities of what the book could have
done, which is what the bulk of this movie consists of. Those stories, as well
as the ongoing interludes between H.P. and the librarians, are some of the
lamest possibilities that the book could ever imagine. If this is what the devil
does, just as with Terror Eyes, I think
we have nothing to fear from old Lucy.
Not to mention, this movie is a part of the Maria Ford collection.
