Masters of Horror: Haeckel's Tale (John McNaughton, 2006)

McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer) turns in his entry in the first series of Masters of Horror with an adaptation of a Clive Barker joint. In it, Ernst Haeckel (Push, Nevada's Derek Cecil) is forced to seek shelter during a storm, and finds it with the Wolframs-- a husband (AVP2's Tom McBeath) whose first name we never learn, and his young, beautiful wife Elise (Black Christmas' Leela Savasta). Haeckel, of course, finds her as delicious as the meal he's offered, and Wolfram, oddly, has no problem with that, but there's a great deal more to this odd little story than Wolfram's letting on-- and, as is always the way with rash young men in love, Wolfram has no choice but to let Haeckel discover the family secret for himself, with amusing consequences. Features a very amusing turn from McNaughton's Homicide: Life on the Street crony Jon Polito as a fortune teller. Fun stuff, this. *** March 10, 2008

Please continue!
I was very into the movie and wanted more. But it ended and I still want more! December 22, 2007

Blood, nudity, zombie orgies...you can't go wrong!
Now that's true love! A twisted story of sex with the ex. And his other zombie friends. What's not to love? The morbid naked chick is pretty hot!
This idea could have been even much more gross, disgusting, and fun. I'd love to see an extended X-rated sequel. This great movie was recommended to me by my friend Music Man, I beleive. Definitely worth checking out for you horror fanatics... December 21, 2007

Creepy fairytale
This was a pretty decent Masters of Horror installment. It is a twisted fairytale proving the dead are best left alone. I would reccomend checking this one out. July 18, 2007

Like a fairytale.
This fantastic work of horror/suspense tells a disturbing story close to the form of a dark fairytale. I was reminded of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' as far as style. A young husband seeks a necromancer (even the name is creepy!) to bring his dead wife back to life, only he gets a dose of reality that helps him change his mind. Better to leave the dead resting in peace!
