H.P. Lovecraft - The Unnamable



Just finished watching The Unnamable, based on a short story by H.P. Lovecraft, first published in Weird Tales, July 1925 issue. The movie is a classic monster-in-an-old-house movie, with the monster making its full appearance only at the end. The movie frightens with shadows, light, music and assorted noises -- the trappings of a classic horror movie. There is atmosphere, silly characters and a few bodies piling up before the monster is taken away.

Not bad.
