Historia
Necronomicon begins with H.P. Lovecraft researching 'The Book of The Dead' in his basement. He unwittingly releases a monster and subsequently writes three horror tales bound by an immortal serial killer who resides in a motel. The first tale, 'The Drowned', involves a couple vacationing at the motel where they encounter the drowned spirit of a young girl seeking revenge on her abusive father. In 'The Cold', a team of archaeologists exploring a frozen wasteland discovers an ancient ritual that brings forth a monstrous creature to hunt them down. The final tale, 'Whispers', follows a group of film students who accidentally unleash a demonic entity while shooting their horror movie in the motel where Lovecraft stayed.
Resumen
Necronomicon is a 1993 horror anthology film directed by Brian Yuzna, Christophe Gans, and Shusuke Kaneko. The movie is based on segments inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's work, bound together by a wraparound story involving Lovecraft's research into 'The Book of The Dead'. Each tale explores different themes of horror, including supernatural vengeance ('The Drowned'), ancient curses ('The Cold'), and demonic possession ('Whispers'). The film is notable for its eclectic blend of international talent and its exploration of Lovecraftian themes within an anthology format.
