Intergalactic Medicine Show just published the latest installment of Camera Obscura. This time around, I review the DVD of Dreams in the Witch-House, which is one of the first episodes of the Showtime Masters of Horror series to come out on DVD.

[Excerpt:] Dreams in the Witch-House was a good choice to adapt, and Stuart Gordon, on paper at least, was a good choice of director–after all, he’d directed two previous adaptations of Lovecraft’s work: Re-Animator and Dagon. However, Gordon is more of a “master of schlock” than a true master of horror. There’s very little that’s scary or terrifying here; Gordon’s ham-handed filmmaking style robs Lovecraft’s story of most of its visceral power.
