Be careful who you bury

I watched this and enjoyed it. I am a Lovecraft fan and found that this was a reasonable rendition of Lovecraft's work. I thought the monsters where good and clearly defined, and not, as in a lot of cheap flicks, hidden from view to save on the cost of making an effort. When the family, re-emerged I was surprised and would have liked that bit to be a little longer. This piece (due to budget-I guess) was an ensemble piece and could even work on the stage if anyone wished to do a live version. Novelty theatre, now that would be good. I enjoyed the heroine, although the script suffered in this area for predictability. (Get out the how to book, on "How to" have a woman against man battle of wits and "Easy one liners for anyone" ) Even a book on "Your turn to have the weapon." But all in all a reasonable time was had by me. I would also like to further mention the wonderful Coombs' whose part could have been an inch or two bigger. A man who always manages to make me smile at his antics and cool one liners. So don't expect an Oscar or two but enjoy the ride and revel in the undead or dead or whoever they are.
