Blu-ray Review – Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep

H.P. Lovecraft. The horror author has been popular with genre filmmakers for decades, but for director Chad Ferrin, his literary offerings are a bit of an obsession. After taking on the Lovecraft universe with no-budget endeavors such as 2020’s “The Deep Ones” and 2024’s “The Old Ones,” Ferrin goes back for more with “Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep,” which is an adaptation of a 1919 short story. Once again, the helmer comes armed with very little money to make the picture, trying to launch a screen nightmare that delves into the science of the mind and penis monsters. Instead of becoming a vicious, disturbing effort, “Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep” falls apart almost right away, watching Ferrin remain uncertain if he wants his movie to be a nightmare machine or campy comedy, while most of the cast is no help when it comes to summoning a proper fear factor.
