Overview
Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Out of Time, this is the story of a professor who suffers a seizure which results in total amnesia. As he recuperates he is so different his family deserts him. He gathers knowledge of things outside his specialty for five years, then has another seizure. When he reawakens he is himself again, but now he has no memory of the five years between the attacks. He begins having bizarre dreams, and tries to find out what he was doing during the five years he can’t remember. What he discovers, combined with the growing reality of his dreams, convinces him that something much darker than a mere personality shift was going on.

Viewing Notes
Movie number five seems obviously made for television based on its running time and format. This adaptation of one of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories is told through a series of stills with voice over narration. There is some amazing artwork used throughout this that’s pretty great and gets a half star bump from me. Not my favorite but not a bad way to tell this particular Lovecraft story. Also known as H.P. Lovecraft: Schatten aus der Zeit.
