You Can't Outrun Fate. Not Rated. Did you know Edit. It was used for the external shots of the family home. User reviews 26 Review. Top review. Unoriginal, poor. Well, I am a huge fan of the 'things that go bump, spill your popcorn' kinda movie, so was interested from the start to see what these guys were pumping so hard in their reviews. I'm all for that to get your low budget flick a bit of a boost, but no-one likes to feel conned.
The story is the usual predictable rip off of 'The Shining', house in country, tick, husband in crisis moves family away against their best wishes, tick, husband starts to lose the plot not the only one , tick, we all see dead people, tick, lots of dark rooms, wide angles and flickering, etc, etc.
Which is all cool, except the character development is almost non-existent, his poor wife is left as a totally 2 dimensional character, and the husband struggles to convince with such poor dialogue to work with. Internet Archive's 25th Anniversary Logo.

Publication date Usage Public Domain Mark 1. Read in English by Phil Chenevert A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood.
He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe. This story, "The Man Who Found Out" is an example to me of pure cosmic horror in that the horror comes totally from knowledge which is in-story so terrible that it forever blights the minds of anyone who discovers it.
Two highly intelligent and well informed men, Professor Ebor and then Dr. Laidlaw, learn the contents of the Tablets of the Gods, and even though this information is short enough to be on two ordinary-sized tablets, it is enough to induce absolute belief in its veracity and utterly destroy hope in the reader.
