First, I bought this video from an Amazon associate and got excellent service and a great price. Second, the quailty of the tape was brand new and played well for several viewings with a crystal clear picture and good sound quality. Third, as a fan of anything associated with HP Lovecraft, I enjoyed the movie a heck of a lot. The film might be too over-the-top for the non-initiated into the mythos of Lovecraft, but is a good flick nontheless. It's about a group of people who get stranded on a remote island off the coast of Spain that is inhabited by a strange, reclusive people of amphibious extraction. Based upon the classic, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" by HP Lovecraft, made by Stuart Gordon the director of "Re-animator." A must see for any fan.
