    "It is time for pain." And here I thought that was pillow talk.

    So tell me more about this foot-thick dissertation.

    Fortress was such a disappointing movie. At least, if you paid to see it in theatres like I did. :(

    Wow. I dont' think I've seen this since it played theatrically back in '92. I'm pretty sure I blocked it out along with Gordon's SPACE TRUCKERS....

    Until recent years, every attempt Gordon made in the past to move away from horror resulted in some great trash sinema. Makes me wonder how HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS would have turned out if he wasn't removed.

    Ah, the memories. I remember loving this movie at the time, cheezy as it was. It's worth mentioning that the cyborg prison director is played by Mr. Kurtwood "Clarence Boddicker" Smith.

    Rofl I think I actually have recorded this video ages ago, I wonder if I still have the VHS tape it's on.

    Oh, and [SPOILER] that robot truck thingy at the end was pretty badass.

    I don't think I watched this film, but I'm pretty sure I was able to watch the sequel.

    And now I sort of understand the whys of everything in that movie... well, not really all of them (plotholes, there were many), but I now understand why they were running away from those people.

    They had a son, btw.

    This is a sweet film! Saw this a while back... Sexy, scary, intelligent, a tad romantic... The rats are a nice touch... Calls into play some of the questions that many horror stories avoid. Great adaptation!

    The best cinematic adaptations of a Lovecraft story is, of course, the silent film version of "Call of Cthulhu," (filmed in glorious Mythoscope!) but this was definitely one of the more palatable ones. Stuart Gordon also produced a rather good version of 'Dreams in the Witch-House' as part of the "Masters of Horror" anthology series.


    My favorite Lovecraftian movie (actually, my favorite movie, period) is a forgotten little made-for-HBO gem called "Cast a Deadly Spell." While the Cthulhu mythos is mainly set dressing for a straight-up 1940's detective story, it's totally worth it to see Fred Ward playing a hard-boiled shamus opposite David Warner, Julianne Moore, Clancy Brown, and a pretty Grade A cast all around.


    If anyone here hasn't seen it, I highly recommend tracking a copy down.

    @bluehinter:
    A friend of mine had us watch that in college, and I was just trying to remember the title after seeing this post. Best I could think of was the fact that I recognize one of the actors (plays Tugwell) from a Season 5 episode of Babylon 5.


    It's too bad they never released it on DVD.

    @Evil Tortie's Mom:
    Cast A Deadly Spell is an excellent tongue-in-cheek noir sendup. I didn't know that it had been released on tape. I guess the VHS tape that I've kept safe since it aired on HBO back in '89 ain't so special no more.


    Best line is a toss-up between David Warner's "It's not a squid!" and Fred Ward's "The f*&ck that saved the world!"


    Track it down, it's worth a watch.

    @CantankerousDave:
    Don't be so sure. I looked it up on Amazon, and the cheap price for one of the two listed New copies was $117. Used copies are a bit less painful in the pocket, but you never know whose kid shoved a sandwich in that VCR right before they tried to play the copy they want to sell you.

    @Evil Tortie's Mom:

    It came out in two formats: Crappy MacroVison-protected VHS (Which basically means the color looks like crap on a legitimate copy, and even worse if you try to copy it) and sweet beautiful laserdisk!


    For years, this and my Japanese import copy of 'Army of Darkness' (at the time, the only method of seeing the original ending) were the only reasons I still kept lugging my laserdisk player around with me from apartment to apartment.


    Thankfully, high quality DVD bootlegs are readily available if you know where to look, but I'd still give my right arm to see an officially licensed release, especially if it came with any nifty extras and/or some of the cast back together to record a commentary track.

    I was actually very disappointed in this movie. I was excited when I first heard about it, but when I saw it I was only barely entertained. Barely OK film for a Sci-Fi channel Saturday afternoon, but the mythos deserve better.

    Double Agreed.

    This movie, aside from the aid of a six pack and going all Cinematic Titanic on it, is damn bad.

    Well, aside from the nudity.

    See, now I was expecting to see her shtupping a fish-monster. It is after all strongly implied in the stories that people bred with even UGLIER fish-monsters to make the innsmouth taint.
