Gulliermo del Toro, Report To Cthulhu

Guillermo del Toro is bringing H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains Of Madness to the big screen in 2010, although it sounds like he'll be juggling duties on that film while trying to make two simultaneous The Hobbit feature films. After working with a vampire, a fairy tale, a red-skinned demon, and a hobbit, he'll be bringing us shoggoths, and it's about damn time. He also wants to stay true to the original source material which he describes as "a National Geographic special on a crew that disappeared in an exploration mission." More »

Latest by n/a: The Mountains of Madness is a very odd choice… or an extremely brave and principled choice. I remember that it was the first Lovecraft I was introduced to and yes, I did find it incredibly boring and didn't finish it. more »

re-animator

Must See: Re-Animator

Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.

Title: Re-Animator
Date: 1985

Vitals: True goodness equals mad science plus slapsticky grossouts plus Jeffrey Combs in an early, over-the-top performance as crazy Dr. Herbert West, who invents a serum that brings dead bodies back to life. When he's kicked out of med school by a jealous professor, West continues his reanimation in secret - while his old professor builds an army of mind-controlled, undead freaks. Based extremely loosely on an H.P. Lovecraft short story.
