Here’s the premise. An unsuccessful author takes refuge from failure in a decrepit apartment building left in trust for failing writers. The protagonist sees a nude woman on the stairs and approaches. After several conversations, the protagonist learns that this girl is enslaved by a demon. In investigating the girl-- and her relationship potential-- the protagonist discovers several other authors are working together to create a novel. What they write comes true, and thus they created the girl and the demon.
I preferred this story when entitled In the Mouth of Madness… or when candied up as The Neverending Story. Anyway, the demon starts killing off the authors until our protagonist must destroy it. Do I need to say more, or are you already laughing? If not, the actors’ attempts at making this seem real will make you guffaw quite hardily. Christopher Lloyd can’t help this failure, and neither can the multiple appearances of the nude girl. It just wasn’t good. The story was overly simplistic and heavily borrowed from more familiar works. It’ll remind you of ‘80s cheese horrors. Oh and the effects were horrible. I give it a 3 outta 10.
