The problem with the horror anthology format is that there's not enough time to develop any palpable sense of dread, or any real concern for the plight of the characters. I loved seeing Combs as Lovecraft, and the gore effects are pretty creative and disgusting, but otherwise there's nothing terribly compelling about this. "The Cold" should've been a full-length feature, no doubt.

Not too great but I thought it was quite entertaining

Fails to create any sort of suspense or mood. Bad lighting, music, acting and effects. Shame. I was hoping for something passable, but felt a bit embarrassed throughout.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Blech. Awful.

Decent but no winner. Great to see Jeffrey Combs as H.P. Lovecraft, though

An uneven but consistently over-the-top terror anthology, loosely drawn from H. P. Lovecraft's scare stories and featuring gross-out FX (courtesy of, among others, Steve Johnson and Screaming Mad George). Kaneko's "The Cold", starring Warner and Perkins, is the best story.
