first off and i love the opening credit of this film and with the stylized animation and the music . a for the rest of this and well and it be beautifully film and for the most part and with wonderful set and yes and somewhat of a creepy story and temper by dean stockwell somewhat hammy performance a wilbur whately . some dream sequence ( a dream by the still lovely sandra dee ) be kind of silly and with people in makeup and who actually look fairly sinister but on the other hand they look like a bunch of hippy who eat acid for breakfast . but in the whately house and there be a room that house a secret and and i have to say when that door be open that it may actually provide one of the good depiction of one of lovecraft unspeakable and unnameable and un whateverable creature than any other film that i have see . lot of color reversal and busy movement and a in and maybe and tentacle . i have read a lot of lovecraft in my time and haven not see a film yet that accurately portray any of his monster very well and except for perhaps this film . a lot of what one see after that a this thing move about the countryside be nothing more than color reversal and nothing great and though . i have see this film only twice now but i like it a lot and despite stockwell somewhat goofy performance a a low key but sinister wilbur . if youre a lovecraft fan and you have not see this yet it worth check out . a classic 70 film . positive .
