Oh Boy ^ If you want to get rid of company put this on, it was one of the worst movies, and eventhough it was bad you could not help but watch(LOL)
Almost lost B-movie Classic ^ I'm glad I found this before it was totally out of print. It's fairly close to the source material (the book). I enjoy cheesy flicks very much, and this one fills the need. Now I only wish I could find part 1 (not the vhs).
Not so much a review as a pointer... ^ To all those looking for The Unnamable on DVD, Anchor Bay have released them both in the UK as a set (still available from amazon.co.uk when last I looked), but you'll need a region 2 and PAL setup to view them. Personally I thought they were very good (especially when watched back-to-back as one movie spread across two disks).
not bad but couldve been better ^ I never saw the first unnamable but i wanted to give this one a chance anyway cause it sounded interesting.the movie is not all bad but it couldve been better then the final product.the demon looks good though i must saw and it had two or three moments of cheap pop up scares,which are good.the bllod and gore are decent but some kills you dont get to really see(like the lady cop toward the end)and i think thats a waste.the plot is ok but the movie drags in some places.i would say rent but that would cost around six dollars and i got a copy on amazon for only three so if your courious id say buy a cheap used copy.i hear the first one was better so im hoping they put it on dvd one day.a few of the kills were gory and thats always a plus.
Sequel not as good as original ^ This movie is the sequel to H.P. Lovecraft's The Unnamable and is not as fun. That film was based upon the H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name. I wish THAT film was available on DVD. It involves a haunted house in which resides a creature that is the half-human, half demon daughter born to a warlock and his wife two hundred years ago. Long after their death, she has continued to reside in the house which is not far from a local college. Get the picture? Macho college kids, haunted house, making out with young women, awesome-looking scarey monster who likes to rip hearts out doing battle with nerdy, bookish heroes familiar with local legend and black magic.
The story of the sequel starts immediately after the conculsion of the the original which itself was a "B" movie but with a number of chuckles and quirky characters (played by quirky actors who, just as the film's director, did not take themselves too seriously).
Despite having the same cast and director, there are few chuckles in this sequel and it loses some of the charm of the first because it was darker and the actors and director apparently intended this to be more serious. The monster isn't quite as cool as she was in the first film but is probably the highlight of the movie.
If you are a fan of the first film, you'll probably like this one. But the first film while, not a great film, is actually one of my favorite horror films...mostly because the monster is so cool-looking.
