In Search of Lovecraft

[kafkonia]

If you happen to see this movie on Watch Instantly on Netflix, or on DVD somewhere... avoid it.

It is the worst non-MST3K'd movie I've ever seen. The acting is in most cases worthy of a high school drama class, the fx are forgettable at best, and the script is about on par with everything else. You also get the least-convincing, oldest "high school girl" you'll find outside of certain specialist websites.

It focuses on a rookie tv reporter (in a laughably oversized jacket) who gets frustrated with her man-on-the-street assignment and decides to do a segment on Lovecraft for Hallowe'en, whereupon she discovers that his stories weren't fiction -- they were fact!

The best thing about the entire video is the cover.

And yet, all these months later, I can't quite get it out of my head...

Yeah, I made the mistake of watching that. I only made it through the first 10 minutes before I just move on to something else. TERRIBLE FILM!

Aw, leaving ten minutes in means you didn't get to the Playboy Playmate witch.

Oh no... My life seems emptier now.

Is this movie so bad that it's actually fun to watch with friends ?

We organize a bad movie contest every year with friends (with teams of two people competing with the others) with prizes and stuff, and my teammate and I inherited the horror movie genre this year.

So actually I'm looking for a really bad horror movie, so bad that it's almost "good" (ideally low budget, bad acting, awesome stupid dialog, bad FX, etc.).

Would you think that this movie could fit in ? Or do you know other flicks that might be even, err, "better" suited to make us win (there's a beer keg at stake here !)

For French readers, I'm looking for a true "nanar" gem !

PS : if you suggest any other movie, it must be something amazingly bad, that's pretty much unheard of, 'cause the first rule of our contest is that nobody else must have seen it !

I believe you might have a winner here, at least for the first 10 minutes.
