Opinions:
“As with many Full Moon movies, Lurking Concern‘s trailer is best than the characteristic it promotes. That’s unlucky as a result of Joyner had a beautiful skilled forged who, with a cleaned-up script and a hands-on producer, might have made the movie a standout amongst [Lovecraft] variations.” Andrew Migliore and John Strysik, Lurker within the Foyer: A Information to the Cinema of H.

“… zippy little gem … The Morlock-looking creatures are properly designed by Wayne Toth [House of 1000 Corpses; Wishmaster] and are a suitably nasty bunch, dragging any poor sod they will down into their subterranean abattoir.” UK Horror Scene
“With such a gifted forged, a cool idea, and a contemporary younger director coming off a well-liked Trancers sequel, there’s no purpose the ultimate product ought to have been this awful. I applaud Joyner’s effort to combine the horror, motion, and crime movie genres, nevertheless it simply didn’t work. The top result’s a considerably boring creature characteristic, that apparently ruined C. Courtney Joyner’s style for filmmaking.” The B-Film Movie Vault
“Lurking Concern is fairly spot on and cohesive. The motion choreography and stuntwork is high notch. The performing is approach higher than I anticipated and I’m neutral to robust feminine characters. The gore, my favourite facet of the film, was superb and carried out via using sensible results and that actually introduced me again to a greater time.” Horror Society
“It’s no masterpiece, nevertheless it’s a properly accomplished flick made by individuals who clearly strove to supply film. The performing is uniformly good and properly naturalistic, the characters have a tendency to not do silly stuff simply to advance the plot, the settings are, once more, fairly fetching, the movie is pretty brutal by way of killing likable characters, and the script is definitely *gasp* pretty effectively thought out…” Jabootu’s Dangerous Film Dimension

“There’s an equally spectacular forged right here, with Combs at his hammy finest because the sozzled quack, Finch genuinely menacing as a Cockney gangster and Laurence convincing as a Lara Croft kind Amazon. Sadly the script doesn’t give them something greater than generic dialogue, and that adjective sums up the movie as an entire.” The Film Waffler
“Lurking Concern is loaded with graphic violence, monsters and gore, so followers of this fare won’t be disillusioned. And the forged is nice…” John Stanley, Creature Options
“The gore is usually weak, however I have to credit score the consequences crew and director for making so many makes an attempt to please the Fangoria followers on the market. There are a whole lot of lifeless physique, corpse and skeleton scenes wherein these props are used for extra than simply background. They arrive with a number of laughs. The creature make-up is equally ho-hum. However they embrace it.” John Leavengood, Motion pictures, Movies and Flix
“The actors all appear sport sufficient, however the characters are usually one-note … however because the story winds on, the individuals appear to have little perform however to mark time when the creatures aren’t on display screen.
