Jan 2, 2001Resurrection of the Dead/Splatter Black Comedy/H.P. Lovecraft Adaptation
This was one of the classic 1980s splatter films. Stuart Gordon throws most of H.P. Lovecraft's tone out the window and goes for hilariously black comedy served up with outrageously over-the-top effects

May 31, 2001Other-Dimensional Monsters/H.P. Lovecraft Adaptation

Sep 5, 2012Edgar Allan Poe Adaptation/Inquisition Horrors
Stuart Gordon's adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe story gets full marks for being set during the Spanish Inquisition. On the other hand, Gordon's unserious splatter heavy approach and a campy performance from Lance Henriksen deflates the material

Feb 12, 2002Invasion of the Body Snatchers Remake

Apr 25, 2017Ray Bradbury Adaptation/Magical Suit
Stuart (Re-Animator) Gordon adapts a Ray Bradbury play about five men who buy a suit that has magical properties. Bradbury is a great writer but this drowns in overripe dialogue, bad racial caricatures and Gordon's typically over-the-top propensities
