The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Lurking Fear (1994)

Starring: Jeffrey Combs, Ashley Laurence, Vincent Schiavelli
Director: C. Courtney Joyner

Premise:
A man recently released from prison goes to his father's hometown to find a sum of money buried in the graveyard. What he doesn't know is the town has been plagued by creatures for years and the remaining few people have decided to fight back.

My Take:
This loose adaptation of the Lovecraft stories is at times fun to watch. Yes, it is full of subpar acting and over the top 90s cheese factor yet that's part of the charm.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: Hulu
