The Dunwich Horror
Directed by Daniel Haller
When a beautiful student named Nancy Wagner (Sandra Dee) catches the eye of the weird Wilbur Whateley (Dean Stockwell), it's up to her professor, the good doctor and occult expert Dr. Henry Armitage (Ed Begley), to warn her that no good will come of it. But as Armitage digs deeper into the Whateley family history, he uncovers a buried secret - and a plot intended to call forth an evil beyond imagination. Daniel Haller directs this cult favorite.

Nearly a great retilling of the story. i do love wilbur's weird charms, but i get in the 70s we're never going to see a tentacle monster like in the story. i hope this gets redone. but i like the slow burn of the story where everything is just not quite right, it reminds me of the original omen.
A nice take on a Lovecraft story that came out a year after Manson turned hippyland on its head.
The slow pace are anticlimactic ending hurts it a lot. has a few moments and there are worse things out there but still not good.
Killer old school 70's horror. Too bad they didn't succeed. Fuck humanity.
Too slow and weird, the story is way better. I was hoping for it to be better, but just couldn't get into it. Check it out and see what you think. On to the next.
