As the sun sets on our Summer of Lovecraft event for this year, the moon rises and gives shape to THE UNNAMABLE! In this double feature review, we delve into Jean-Paul Ouellette's cult Lovecraftian horror adaptations: The Unnamable (1988) and its sequel The Unnamable II: The Statement of Randolph Carter (1992). Based loosely on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, these films bring the mythos to life with a blend of Gothic atmosphere, practical creature effects, and campy 80s/90s horror charm. This review explores how Ouellette interprets Lovecraft’s eerie prose through the lens of low-budget indie horror, comparing the spooky, claustrophobic tension of the original with the more action-driven, lore-expanding sequel. We also examine the evolution of the creature Alyda Winthrop, the recurring role of Randolph Carter, and the films’ place in the larger legacy of Lovecraft cinema. Whether you’re a die-hard Mythos fan or a lover of old-school horror, this review uncovers what makes these lesser-known gems the BEST H.P. Lovecraft Creature Features you've never seen!
