Directed by Daniel Haller
USA 1970
Riding high on their successful adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe, Roger Corman and
American International Pictures took on that other titan of literary terror, H.P
Lovecraft, in The Dunwich Horror! *** Lurking in the quiet village of Dunwich, a supernatural horror lies in wait. When a cute college coed (Sandra Dee) and her professor (Ed Begley) visit the library at the infamous Miskatonic University, they discover a young man (Dean Stockwell) who wishes to check out the dreaded Necronomicon. An ancient book for divining demons, the Necronomicon allows its user to bring hell to Earth, and human sacrifice is the required offering. Pretty young Sandra Dee is the creature's prey... |

On their
Blu-ray,
Arrow use a DTS-HD Master mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. The Dunwich Horror
has a few 'shock' moments that come through with intensity
and score by
Les Baxter (How
to Stuff a Wild Bikini,
Switchblade
Sisters, The
Man With the X-Ray Eyes,
The
Comedy of Terrors,
Dagmar's Hot Pants Inc.,
Panic in the Year Zero,
The Beast Within, the
US version of
Baron Blood, etc.) with a few
funky electronic vibes surfacing. The resulting audio is authentically
flat with surprising depth. Arrow offer optional English (SDH) subtitles
on their Region FREE
Blu-ray.

Daniel Haller's The Dunwich Horror
is an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's
short story,
of the same name, the film concerns a young female graduate student (Sandar
Dee) who is targeted by a man (Dean Stockwell) attempting to use her in
an occult ritual taken from the Necronomicon book in the school library.
It has some pretty cool psychedelic imagery and fast cuts in the
'attack' portions. Lovecraft has a recognizable horror style embraced by
many - and it usually adapted to adopt this uniqueness. I'd say this is
definitely true here. Talia Shire is briefly in The Dunwich Horror
(credited as Talia Coppola) playing Nurse Cora. Daniel Haller has stated
that the production was partly inspired by the success of Polanski's
Rosemary's Baby. I really enjoyed the the Arrow Blu-ray |
