Oh, wow. One of the many production companies for this movie is Silvio Berlusconi Communications, which I can pretty safely assume is a company owned by Silvio Berlusconi, a long time prime minister of Italy with a – let’s say – problematic career.
I don’t really like it when movies feel the need to explain everything.
In a previous instalment I discussed directors, who’s work I might not be the biggest fan of, but I do appreciate their existence. I could have easily added Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman (who co-directed this under a pseudonym) to the list.
I don’t know what the situation is exactly currently, but after Lord of the Rings, there was a surge of movies, for better or worse, being made or simply worked on in New Zealand. This does also mean that there are now quite a few professionals, so they can do projects like this.
Ah, Frank Henenlotter. The director we deserve, but not the one we need. Or something.

Daniel Radcliffe has been trying to find his footing after the you-know-what, which will be an albatross around his neck for the rest of his career. He seems to honestly enjoy working as an actor and according to him, he hasn’t even touched the you-know-what money at all, but is living on the money he is making on these other projects. And while the filmography he has beyond you-know-what would be a fine career most actors would be envious of, these movies will always be overshadowed.
Not only were these two loose adaptations of Lovecraft works by the same director, Stuart Gordon, but they also starred both Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton.
