Watch Dreams in the Witch House For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

best movie i've ever seen.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Very nice screen adaptation of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, I really liked it, of course there were also no logical moments, and the director himself did not really think about the audience, but this is the only way to preserve Lovecraft's atmosphere, neither snot nor happy end, enemies can be very blunt and feeble, But the rock itself favors them, and with this the main characters can not do anything.

I had enjoyed a number of MOH entries but, of late, I have been increasingly disappointed by them! Director Gordon here treads overly-familiar territory – adapting the work of H.P. Lovecraft yet again – in all-too-typical fashion i.e. featuring copious blood-letting. The plot is rather similar to a Mick Garris-directed entry from the second season, VALERIE ON THE STAIRS (2006) – though, to be fair, this came out first; the walls of one of the rooms in a flophouse are revealed to be portals to the netherworld from which emerges Satan's whore to seduce its occupant (a University student) into sacrificing an infant to her master! Incidentally, the hero befriends a young neighbor – a single mother with a baby; while she is attracted to him, he neglects the kid in spite of himself (being somnambulistic) when she leaves it in his care. Eventually, the baby is discovered lifeless by his side (after he has managed to defeat the Forces Of Darkness) and the hero is locked up in an asylum…though a search into the walls of his room produces the skeletons of several more infants, some dating as far back as 300 years! While the plot is fairly interesting per se, as I said it is in no way surprising – with the only touch of originality lying in the recurring presence of a human-faced rat which is even capable of speech!

With all of the Lovecraftian horror films out there, Gordon does an excellent job staying close to the actual story. He strays from time to time and adds a few things, such as a few nude scenes, but that is to be expected with Gordon. Ezra Godden's acting is very believable, you can actually believe that he is descending into madness throughout the film. The special effects on Brown Jenkin are good yet provide some humor to the film, as is Gordon's style.If you are a fan of Lovecraft and a fan of Stuart Gordon's work, this film is a must. And if not a fan of Lovecraft, it is a great little horror film with plenty of gore. One of my favorites.

Masters of Horror: H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House starts as university student Walter Gilman (Ezra Godden) saves his neighbour Frances Elwood (Chelah Horsdal) from a rat, Walter contacts the building manager (Jay Brazeau) but he isn't interested. Having just moved in Walter gets on with his school work but he has a dream about a rat with a human face, he continues to have these dreams & visions. After speaking with another tenant he becomes convinced that a Witch & the rat with a human face is living behind his bedroom wall & wants to possess his body so he can sacrifice his neighbour's young son...This Canadian American co-production was episode 2 from season 1 of the hit-and-miss Masters of Horror TV series, co-written & directed by Stuart Gordon I personally didn't think to much of this one. The script by Gordon & Dennis Paoli tires to do a lot in it's 60 odd minute running time & it felt rushed, it moves along at a decent pace & the second half improves but overall I expected more. The rat with a human face is freaky though & I did quite like the downbeat ending. The character's are OK as is the dialogue but it never really got me excited, it never really gripped me, I thought it was all rather average to be honest. This Masters of Horror is worth a watch if your a fan of the genre but overall I doubt this will live too long in my memory, in fact I'm positive it won't.Director Gordon does a decent job, the colour scheme is very muted & there are a few good scenes. By the way did you notice at the end when the rat kills Walter & all the blood that spurts everywhere but in the very next scene as it's running long the corridor it doesn't have a single drop of blood on it... There's not much gore here, someone has their back scratched, someone have their eyes gorily poked & there's some blood at the end but nothing else.Technically this is well made with good production values considering it was made for TV, the special effects are very good & the acting is alright as well. There's an OK atmosphere but there's not many scares here.H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House is an OK Msters of Horror episode, I can't say I loved it but I can't say I hated it either. It's watchable but nothing special.
