Necronomicon: Book of Dead

The creative drive that brought Bride of Re-animator, Brian Yuzna, is back to wreak havoc on small screen. You may have heard of the Necronomicon from the Evil Dead trilogy. Or you may read Lovecraft's fiction. Necronomicon is based on the ancient text that H. P. Lovecraft used to write about. The movie itself has a sort of classic storytelling feel to it. Especially the first two stories. Not to say the last story is bad. Because it is not. It's just more of what I'm used to seeing from Yuzna: Crazy, outlandish horror. It's neat seeing Jeffrey Combs playing Lovecraft after all the movies he's been in that are "based" on Lovecraft stories. The best being Re-animator and From Beyond (which Yuzna is also partly responsible for). Also you have to acknowledge Jeffrey Combs contribution to the movie. Combs is a cult hero that few can rival. But when Combs is in his makeup I can't help but see and old Bruce Campbell (I think it's the chin). It's unreal. The resemblance is uncanny. Or at least I thought so. Some may argue otherwise. I certainly hope Yuzna and Combs keep working together. They are an undeniable force in the horror genre.
