Most of Lovecraft based movies are best avoided. Though the Unnamable had some really funny moments in it "Hell, no I'm not going back there. Either they're playing a prank or they went back there and they're dead. Places like that are DANGEROUS!" it is really just another standard "Teens killed by monster in Haunted House" movie. The Unnamable II is a z grade horror movie, which is simply awful.Necronomicon - The first and second stories are quite good, the third is not really very Lovecraftian.Dagon is a fairly straight adaptation of "A Shadow Over Innsmouth" another good story to read. While it's not a bad movie it is missing something and is ultimately sort of eh.I've not seen the others, but I would recomend the movie "She-Creature". Despite a bad title and a cover picture that suggests T&A, it captures the feeling and spirit of a good Lovecraft story better than any movie I've ever seen. Perhaps because it isn't based on any Lovecraft stories. One last suggestion. Avoid any of the other stories written by others of the "Lovecraft" circle, esp August Derleth? While they ape the subject and style of his stories, they completely lack the sense of the unknown and the alien that make his best stories so unique.</blockquote>
