To Mr. Edward Martin III
Good show! I enjoyed it. I had to show it to my g/f and she enjoyed it as well. It had humor, style, visually entertaining SFX, and I noticed lots of Elder Signs everywhere, little Lovecraftian symbols being slipped in there.
I didn't like how Carter was being picked up and placed down the staircase, stair by stair, or when the yak ran away like a puppeteer dragging a papered picture around the screen. But I do understand budget costs and computer software limitations. Another thing that bugged me were the voices for some of the actors, like the two priests in the gates of flame, they didn't sound right at all. But, yet again, low budget: understood.
Over all, not a bad picture.
Question: Would you be offended if there were a filmmaker in the future to make their own theatrically produced version of "Dream-Quest"? I think it would be interesting to see, a Randolph Carter who's not bald, doesn't have colonial-segmented feet and hands, and a somewhat older complexion, seeing as how he fought in the Great War and would appear to have some war scars, or at least some wounds from being mauled by the Unnamable (but it is a dreamworld). I think seeing a flashback between Carter and Pickman in Boston underground associating with a ghoul would be an interesting glimpse to behold. The war between the ghouls and night-gaunts with the moon-beasts and slaves would look better theatrically, and the sequence in the Vale of Pnath would play out better with a much scarier vibe.
That's just what I think, though.
