DVD Reviews of The H.P. Lovecraft Collection, Vol. 5: Strange Aeons
DVD Review: It's Pretty Good & I'd Watch It Again
Summary: 3 Stars
The only problem I had with this film was that the acting was less than stellar--not exactly mediocre--but not really bad either. The story was typical Lovecraft--and that, of course was very good. It involves an affable college professor, a little smug, but basically a good guy. It's his ill luck to have a very daemonic in one of his classes. She challenges him on just about every statement he makes to the class. Then she mentally controls his favorite student, a sort of son figure. Her hold on him because so complete they actually begin to exchange bodies--with sinister results, of course. The woman's power eventually extends to other members of the professor's class & begins to push him right over the edge. There were some excellent, spooky good images in the film. It lacked the power & magnitude of THE CALL OF CTHULHU and sustained suspense & acting in DAGON. Nonetheless, STRANGE AEONS is a must for the Lovecraft/SciFi/Horror video library.

Description of The H.P. Lovecraft Collection, Vol. 5: Strange Aeons
The 5th volume of The H.P. Lovecraft CollectionŽ continues to showcase author H.P. Lovecraft's unique contribution to American Literature having melded the best in traditional supernatural horror with the genre of science fiction emerging from the 1920s. The featured film on the collection is Strange Aeons: The Thing on the Doorstep, directed by Eric Morgret featuring music by composer Richard Temple (Untraceable, Ghost Rider). Base on Lovecraft's short story, it is a unique tale about the unfortunate match between scholar Edward Derby, and Asenath Waite, a young heiress with mysterious hypnotic powers. Soon after getting married, Edward changes drastically while advisor and friend Dan Upton realizes that he may be too late to stop what has already been set into motion. The film includes English subtitles, audio commentary by director and screenwriter, a bonus "making of" featurette and behind the scenes slideshow. The DVD also contains Patrick Weber's short film Maria's Hubris(also based on Lovecraft's Thing on the Doorstep) and the animated shorts From Beyondby Michael Granberry and Don't Feed the Bookby Robin Ator. The disc is packed with special features including an interview with director John Carpenter, teasers from the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, trailers and much more! Total running time is approximately 120 minutes.Bestsellers in DVD
