Not sure why this film gets bad reviews.
Admittedly, Justin Long is miscast here, badly so. I want to like him in general. But very wrong casting here. He can't hold up to the 'heavyweights' in acting, Ricci and Neeson.
THEY are stellar, amazing -- as always. Long detracts, sadly.

I don't remember this film being so damn rape-y
The film states the mom of the family is 32 and has a 16 year old daughter. Her husband is (judging by casting) at least a decade older than his wife.
Was this 'normal' in 1982?

The first 1/3rd is captivating and absolutely hilarious!
The last 1/3rd is where the audience will need to decide if they are still onboard. If you want Skibidi Toilet meets Too Many Cooks in a fever dream of the surreal? This is your jam!
If not, then, not for you.

A huge gap in the scholarship that is too late to include now.
I just hope Reviewer 2 will attack the book manuscript for not including this in the overview of recent developments of the Lovecraft mythos in popular culture.

Can someone write a short piece on Lovecraftian comics by the end of the year?

Can be largely descriptive of his approach and result. Better if analytical and critical in some way.
