Lovecraft In The Movies.

You know what amazes me? When a person can stretch out a short story into a movie. Recently, I watched "From Beyond," which is an adaptation of H.P Lovecraft's short story, "From Beyond." Taking a (litterally) 3-4 page short story and expanding it always pinpoints unique creativity. Although I did not care for the majority of the movie itself, I do commend the writers from attempting to "finish" what Lovecraft had "started." The selection of the actors proved worthy enough--especially Jeffrey Combs. I think he portrayed Dr. Crawford nicely. I would advise anyone interested in watching the film to read the short story first. It's easier to compare that way.
