I, Cthulhu, am running for President of the United States of America. Why vote for the lesser evil? Enter my name into the write in slot on you ballet in the next election. Until then, enjoy the free four part Oliver Twisted DVD (2000) on my olivertwistedmovie channel.
Please help: I'm looking for a movie from the 80s/90s in which some people, in the end, are using a "symbol" or something to summon a devil, and then the earth opens and the devil comes out (good special effects) and fights against them ... Please tell me the film title ... °_°
I love HP Lovecraft 'and' this movie! "What?" I hear you say? Well F You! Hahaha, just kidding, but seriously, I mean it. Although cheesy I always felt it had great atmosphere and created a feeling or foreboding dread particularly well. Admittedly it is best viewed when in the right 'state' of mind ;-) but then so is every movie.
The only good Lovecraft movies are The Haunted Palace (miscredited as Edgar Allan Poe), Die Monster Die, The Dunwich Horror, Re-Animator, and From Beyond.
You know... I honestly don't know why the hell no one can make a decent HPL adaptation, but supposedly Guillermo Del Toro is working on a major motion picture adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness, and if it's not a flop, which I expect it won't be, being rather familiar with Del Toro's work, It promises to be amazing.
He's doing "The Hobbit" first. He has rights to "Mountains of Madness" until 2017 and says he's been "researching" the effects for years or something like that, so who knows when he actually plans to make it.
Obviously, the guys who wrote this movie misplaced HP Lovecraft for EA Poe - I've seen a lot of undead brides in Poe's stories, not one in Lovecraft's. They though they could enhance their poor haunted house script with some "literature" in it - the problem is they never read a book.
Don't be fooled; it has nothing to do with Cthulhu. They simply put the name on the evil book and the gates to the mansion. Past that, it has nothing to do with Cthulhu. Cthulhu isn't in the basement, we never get to see what's there. It's just a standard possession/haunted house movie.
LOVECRAFT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. Black Magic Mansion is an appropriate name.
Also, it's one of the first bad movies I've seen to credit Lovecraft, but has nothing to do with his work.
@MonkeyMechX2 What about 'From Beyond'? Although there was a bit of Lovecraft-type imagery in it. A lot of this stuff is like 'Steven King's Lawnmower Man'-nothing to do with the story he wrote (a disposable couple of pages to be honest) but he gets a few grand if they use his name on the thing-then again, you could say that for a lot of the Bond movies, they may star Ian Fleming's James Bond but Flenming never wrote of Safari Suits and space shuttles!

They have Cthulhu in the basement? I wonder how many times they called the Orkin man before they realized it wasn't going to do any good...

Well, this crappy movie should rather be called "Mansion de Cacathulhu" (in spanish, "caca" means "crap").

Maybe it's Cthulhu's black magic even though he isn't there, eh? Ever thought of that? ^_~
