![]() ![]() The entire church sequence looked like something more suited to a horror comedy like Ash vs the Evil Dead (which is great, as an aside) rather than a serious horror work. ![]() The costuming, casting, and atmosphere seem totally out of place for 1930s New England. ![]() This series is a great showcase for different directors, but Hardwicke’s performance here is poor. In addition to deviating wildly from the original story, this is the first installment of the anthology that did not at all seem to capture the time period in which it was set. DITWH has a couple good moments, but ultimately felt nothing like Lovecraft. Pickman’s Model at least generally follows the plot of the story before paying homage to Lovecraft’s broader oeuvre with truly mind-bending horror. I find it interesting that this series has given us one of the best and one of the worst adaptations of Lovecraft’s work ever put to film. ![]()
