1940s horror noir, set in a Lovecraftian world, with magic, gangsters, gremlins, and zombies on the loose, Fred Ward as Detective Lovecraft.... I mean, all of these things in any 1 movie, it's amazing it's not just a dream made up, but no, it's real, and it's extremely more entertaining than any one movie with all those descriptions should be!

I had no idea Martin Campbell also directed the amazing Edge of Darkness series.

And I grew up in a life More
