I don't even think Lord Probert would find anything to enjoy in this, but I thought it was worth a laugh:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2vcKFx0djY

At the very end, rather than sounding like "from Scorpio film releasing", it sounded like "from scruffy old film releasing", and somehow that seemed more suitable.

Could only have come from Lovecraft's imagination? For shame...

Jesus wept!

I'm still very fond of Daniel Haller's Lovecraft adaptations. About the only time I've seen someone at least attempt to do him justice in a proper cinema release.

Actually it starts out well. A tourist orientation video would be a creepy way to set a scene. I do like the audacity of using the word "starring" to introduce the cast.

I refer you to one of the comments below the trailer:

"looks better than twilight"

It does, too. The sad thing is, I'd watch it.

Hahaha...I wouldn't. Fed up with crap horror movies. Tried sifting through the dirt for the nuggets, but unfortunately the rewards are pretty low at the moment. Though I'm not bemoaning the state of horror films.

Indeed, Ramsey; and when we hear this line spoken, it's not improved by the visual of an open palm covered in red Karo syrup and worms.

It would help if they could at least pronounce 'Dunwich' correctly...

But like Zed, I'd watch it. Especially stoned.

One of those films that will turn up on The Horror Channel in the early hours of the morning sometime and that I'd watch for a laugh if nothing else was on and I was about to tuck into a sweet and sour chicken after being out on the piss all night.

I would watch this. Oh my goodness yes. And probably regret it. But I never learn.

Well Lord P you did take your copy of Birdemic to be shown at the film festival last year. My brain still hasn't been bleached properly clean.

There are some films that are so awful even I can't find anything good to say about them. BIRDEMIC is one, LEGEND OF HARROW WOODS is another. I may have to write something on the latter as I am still in a state of disbelief about it.

I'm just glad I got there 40 minutes late and missed nearly half of it. I still got in before the first hint that the birds would attack.

Beware, John! M. J. Simpson reviewed The Legend of Harrow Woods and the curse of Richard Driscoll fell upon him...

To late, Ramsey! Too late! My review will be my next Bloodstained Balcony column on the This Is Horror website!

(And thanks for the link - I couldn't find it!)
