a few spoiler and perhaps . the first two story be all right . especially and for be story within story ( lovecraft trademark ) . richard lynch be brilliant and a the sea captain who go temporarily insane with grief . and and david warner be absolutely convince a the true love starve immortal and ultimately betray by his over possessive housekeeper . the third one and though . yechh . the only thing truly lovecraftian about it be the small touch of negrophobia in it . sad but true while hpl be a closet racist . just read call of cthulu . i guess the nice touch be the subtle homage to a similar anthology represent the british b or w classic dead of night . the wrap around segment and and it conclusion and strongly remind me of the former . i guess and in all fairness and that my final score for this movie boil down to represent 2 . 7 star .
