Title: An interesting adaption...
Review: of the classic weird tale "The King In Yellow" which, as legend has it, directly inspired HP Lovecraft's oeuvre. I enjoyed many aspects of this adaption, and adaption it is; it takes some license with Robert W. Chambers' original, but it does have enough menace and oddity to make the experience worthwhile. Aaron Vanek's vision of the tale is Lynchian to say the least with peculiar guests populating a deserted hotel and a lot of dark imagery and long shots. Shawna Waldron as Tess is very good, though I feel slightly under-used, and Dale Snowberger as Aubrey is fascinating.Of the additional films on the DVD the standout is Tupilak, a French shortfilm by David Leroy which is superbly shot, acted and scripted. My only complaint is it's too short!
