WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

mrush I hate a DVD box that has a cool looking scary creature on it and then you rent it and the movie turns out to be a piece of crap.This was one of those movies.I hated this movie.It was one of the worst pieces of garbage I've ever watched.I'm not really sure what the movie was about.As near as I can tell it took place in the early 1900's in an insane asylum.A patient is brought in that has a weird deformity on his back and a young intern who is doing weird experiments on patients in the basement starts experimenting on the deformed patient and that leads to chaos and havoc and death at the asylum.And also there was something about evil things happening when the patient slept and maybe a demon was living in the hump on his back.I dunno.This movie was terrible.It had bad acting,really really bad acting.And horrible writing and all during the movie there were the same pictures of dark woods and bloody meat and little kids running around flashing on the screen over and over.I don't know what it meant nor do I care.Rarely have I seen a movie that was so completely worthless and plot less and pointless as this mess.I hate everyone who had anything to do with this movie.May not a single one of them ever work in the entertainment industry again.I gave this movie a 1 only because the rating system doesn't go any lower.

Randolf Carter Well, to be honest, it ended cool and very Lovecraftian, but dear god, what was the deal with that camera work?!?!?! If you ever eat some bad meat and need to "get rid of it" just watch this movie and use it for video ipecac. Some guy thought he was being really neat-o with the jiggly-wiggly tricks, but just managed making the movie so hard to follow that, if I wouldn't have been to hung over to get and and put in a good movie...well...I would have done just that.That was some of the worst acting I've ever seen, and the only thing (to quote the cover) "truly disturbing" was the wig the main actor wore.

wackassnucca It seems everyone who has reviewed this thinks its a terrible Lovecraft movie or a great comedy. It's not as f_cking terrible as some say it is but 10/10 come on its not that good, even as a comedy. Its far from the worst of the worst but the sh_tty camera work and acting add to its B-movie charm. There some stuff that would be pretty disturbing if done right, and its not really done right. The story line is really cool but thats no credit to the filmmakers. Also the movie puts Tom Savini's name right on the box which gives it some cred but he's only in like 2 F_cking scenes which is gay. And the the CGI monster at the end sucks. And on the DVD there was a preview for some movie where some fat bald guy kills people which is fun. So in conclusion this movie is some what creepy but(90% of the time) in a really funny way.

skallisjr One thing I've learned: most horror films with sounds of giggling children aren't anywhere near as scary as aspiring horror-film makers would believe. Also, repetitive images in montage, which abound in this film, can get extremely enervating, rather than being frightening.IMHO, a film with the basic story might have made a good 30-minute show, but dragging it out to feature length did it no help.Interestingly, the film introduces no sympathetic or likable characters.I sat through this film with my wife, and she disliked it so much that I had to apologize abjectly, so if you rent or buy it, take care whom you show it to.That being said, one can see touches of earlier HPL films in this one. An intern conducts unorthodox experiments in a medical facility (recall Re-Animastor?). He develops a device that can break down the barrier with a conterminous universe (recall From Beyond?). A breeding plan has been set up to enable a Being to enter our cosmos (recall The Dunwich Horror?) But these Lovecraftian touches are subordinated to tiring imagery and silly dialog.See it if you wish, but you've been warned. It's not worth the effort.
