Cool Air Trailers

Randolph Carter moves into a squalid boarding house in the summer of 1925 where he becomes friends with a mysterious doctor who revives him after a near-fatal heart attack. Soon after Carter discovers the awful truth about the doctor, and the fragile line that separates life and death. Featuring a stellar performance by Jack Donner as Dr. Muñoz, Cool Air remains a haunting reminder of the power of the human will.

at the cost of sounding redundant, i have found Cool Air to the the as- of-yet best adaptation of a Lovecraft story, and a very, very worthy film in its own.Cool Air is taken from HPL's short story of the same name, and talks about the meeting of the main character, Carter in this version, with the mysterious dr Munoz, and the resulting facts.Bryan Moore, director and lead, is decent, but not exceptional in either role. The supporting mrs Caprezzi is very good, but Jack Donner as doctor Munoz is astounding - it's worth watching this film for his performance alone. Also, for such a small production, the film is very well done, and the accompanying soundtrack is at times almost moving. Having watched in my life way too many Mythos-inspired films, i have to say, this one tops them all, going well above the more complicated The Whisperer in Darkness. Cannot recommend enough. Must Watch Now!

Cool air is (for once) a faithful adaption of a Lovecraft short story. The camera work is great and the mood is perfect. The actor that plays the old guy is incredible! If you are a Lovecraft fan, seek out this movie and own it, I did.

Fully cool faithful adaptation to the original Lovecraft story. Not like most most Lovecraft adaptations,like Brian Yuzna's which are fully cool but not quite faithful. This one is down the line true as an adaptation can get... A must see for Lovecraft fans!!!!!!!

This short film captures the mood and conflicted emotions of Lovecraft's original story perfectly. Writer/director Bryan Moore has great potential and an ear for dialogue. He creates a number of sympathetic characters in a very short period and thereby out does Lovecraft's original story. It is a shame this film has received so little public attention, it deserves better. I highly recommend it not simply to those fans of Lovecraft who yearn for a good adaptation to finally be made, but to anyone with an appreciation of mood and character.
