I watched 'Necronomicon' last night. I thought it was pretty good, although the concept (4 stories, with one being a wraparound story to tie the other three together) is nothing new. It kinda reminded me of 'Tales from the Darkside - the movie' & 'House on Terror Tract'.
It starts with Jeffrey Combs as Lovecraft. It's always a good thing to see Combs in a movie, and here it's no exception. He was pretty good in the wraparound story.
Although I thought the first story was the weakest, Bruce Payne was still pretty good in this one.
The second story was the best, in my opinion. David Warner was great as the guy with 'the skin disease'. The characters were all really believble, which only addes to the story.
The last story was probably the goriest. The story itself may not have been all that original and it's also kinda predictable, but the gore & the effects make up for that. I thought the special effects were really good throughout the movie, especially for a movie with (I assume) not too big of a budget. In conclusion, I would recommend this movie to any horrorfan out there, which would probably be everybody reading this.
