The Dunwich Horror (1970)


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


The Dunwich Horror is a 1970 B-movie from American
International Pictures directed by Daniel Haller
and produced by Roger Corman. The film was based
on the short story of the same name by H.P.
Lovecraft with a script co-written by future
Academy Award winner Curtis Hanson.

The leading role was offered to Peter Fonda, but he
turned it down. Instead, Dean Stockwell played the
role of Wilbur Whateley. The film was shot in
Mendocino, California.

Leonard Maltin awarded the film 2 1/2 stars out of
4 stating that the film was "Often effective", but
also stated that the film's ending "ruined the whole
movie".

AllMovie gave the film a mixed review stating "
Everything about the film -- the performers, the hair
styles, the psychedelic imagery, the music -- has
late-'60s tackiness written all over it, which leaves
it very dated and not very Lovecraftian". It currently
has a rating of 20% "Rotten" on film review aggregate
Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 4.4/10 based
on 5 reviews.

This was the last film of actor Ed Begley, who died 3
months after its theatrical release.
