Too Good to Be True?

A trailer for Whisperer in Darkness the first Lovecraft film that looks like it might have something to do with something HPL wrote.

And while we're at it, why not just take a gander at the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society Site?

    Are you referring to the 2007 or the 2010 production?

    Fred,

    From what I could find, there was a trailer for this film in 2007; however, it is to be released this year. Given that it is a smallish group it may have taken a while to raise the money for production, editing, etc. I don't know.

    shalom,

    Steven

    According to imdb.com, there are actually two separate films. The later one is still in production, so I guess that trailer is for the 2007 version.

    I'll have to keep watch at Netflix and the local library.

    Dear Fred,

    Nope, I know that on the site the trailer was listed for the forthcoming film; however, in other sites, that trailer has been available since about 2007. There is ANOTHER trailer of the same vintage from a different group, so perhaps that belongs to the 2007 film?

    shalom,

    Steven

    Interesting.

    Well, I'll keep watch for whatever shows up. The 2007 film isn't available either on Netflix or the library. I wonder if it was even released.

    Dear Fred,

    Good question. I found this review (http://www.roguecinema.com/article-1206--0-0.html) of it--so it has been released, but I certainly never heard about it at the time, and it would have provoked intense interest for me.

Reprint Time--Helena

A comment from the blogkeeper at Underbelly (thank you Buce) inspired me to look this up.  I was fairly certain that I had reviewed the book in the recent past, and so I discovered this.  a good book is worth appreciation--over and over and over again. Also, while you are appreciating, you might want to take in Underbelly's look at Helena as well.    La Belle Hélène on March 18, 2005 8:11 AM In reading Helena last night I stumbled across a large number of passages I would like to share. But I thought the more important thing to share was an observation. Evelyn Waugh liked this best among his books. There are a good many reasons why this might be so: it is splendidly written--both the prose and the coherence are several notches above some of his earlier, more frenetic work. It is tightly done, with just the right strokes and exactly the right selection of detail. But I suspect the reason Waugh prized this above all the other works is that in t...

E.F. Benson

With M. R. James, amongst the finest ghost stories in the language--a review of E. F. Benson's collected short stories . Memorable, "How Fear Departed from the Long Gallery," "The Room in the Tower," and "Mrs. Amworth."  While I don't agree with the blogger in Benson's wider range (M. R. James has quite a range from "Casting the Runes" to "Count Magnus" to "'Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad,"  and Lovecraft also had a large range from "Cool Air" to "Whisperer in the Darkness" to "Color Out of Space" not to mention the central position of the Mythos.  But that said, I cannot argue with the reviewer's admiration of the quality and range of Mr. Benson's wonderful collection.  Well worth one's time if one is into October Reading.  And what is particularly nice is that Benson does offer us, occasionally, the real and true, dyed-in-the-wool ghost story--a rarity...
