Cast A Deadly Spell
In 1948 Los Angeles, private detective H.P. Lovecraft (Fred Ward) gets involved with a crime figure (Clancy Brown), a millionaire (David Warner) and a torch singer (Julianne Moore, who should have known better), all of whom are trying to recover the Necronomicon in order to bring back Yog Sothoth and the rest of the Old Ones.
It is hard to find words to describe just how bad this film is, but I'll give it a go:
Drab, awful, excruciating, abysmal, dreadful, tormenting, grievous, laborious, unpleasant, tedious, and noxious.
But maybe I'm being too harsh. The film isn't all bad, just the premise, the writing, the acting, the special effects, the cinematography, the directing, and the plot holes you could drive an articulated lorry through. The rest of it's aces.
