Jeffrey Combs stars in a H.P. Lovecraft adaptation by Full Moon Pictures! Don’t get your hopes up though; prolific Lovecraft adaptor Stuart Gordon is nowhere to be seen. The film has very little to do with Mister Lovecraft either, save for the name, barest bones of an idea and a fear that, indeed, lurks.
A cheap cult Gothic, Lurking Fear is very much a film of its time, a Full Moon picture from the early nineties. In a great time for lurid Lovecraft adaptations, it rides the rip tide of such successes as From Beyond and Re-Animator and its sequel, and coming just before the underrated Castle Freak. It may share Combs and producer Charles Band with this g(l)oriously motley lot, but there’s no small wonder Lurking Fear is (much) less well remembered.
Not Dunwich, the small town of Leffert’s Corners is beset by a history of supernatural terrors, leaving it
