’s unnerving work and in particular its enchanting visions of the wonderful, ancient horrors that lie just outside our realm. That spirit is properly channeled by, director Joe Lynch’s adaptation of Lovecraft’s 1937 short story “The Thing on the Doorstep” that’s written by Gordon’s favorite screenwriter Dennis Paoli and co-stars his leading lady Barbara Crampton.
Elizabeth initially diagnoses this as the most severe case of multiple personality disorder she’s ever seen. Moreover, she can’t get Asa out of her head, and Lynch—who’s already employed a De Palma-grade split diopter shot for maximum ’70s-’80s flair—proceeds to stage a sex scene between Elizabeth and Edward in which a TV plays crashing waves in the background, a ceiling fan spins overhead, and Elizabeth imagines her partner turning into Asa.
Upon visiting Asa’s home, Elizabeth meets his father Ephraim , who’s gravely ill and whose hand is curled in the exact same way that Asa’s was during his writhing-and-shuddering office episode. He additionally boasts the same sneering, lascivious attitude that Asa briefly exhibited—a tip-off to the fact that the two are unnaturally connected.
