Due to the limited supply of copies and the great interest of collectors, these kinds of niche Horror DVDs cost a lot of money, but rarely offer the good film they promise.
The Dunwich Horror (The Witches) from 2008 is another such film: based on a good story by HP Lovecraft, but so poorly executed that it has become a big mess.
The good news: it are not the actors that are to blame. Each and every one of them did their best to save this film. Unfortunately.
The story has been adapted and not for the better. Instead of Lovecraft's ghastly creepy story, we get a messy quest for a missing page from the Necronomicon. There is a strange, half-hearted relationship between two main characters woven into it. The level of this love story does not get any further than that of the average bad soap ...
Even more disturbing than a chopped plot, are the laughable special effects. Bad cheap computer animation just kills this horror movie. I've seen worse, but not all that often! It is not easy to shoot a good film on a small budget, but other filmmakers are much better at this! I guess they rather use sugestion than bad Playstation 2 graphics for monsters.
I can go on, but it's clear I have no more good things to say. 3 points for the acting, nothing for the rest. Don't waste your money on this one...
