Over the next few years, from a personalized heaven that takes the form of a high school she never lived to attend and its suburban surroundings, she watches her family and friends deal with their grief, while her killer escapes justice and goes on to kill again.

 After ‘Kong,’ what's left for Jackson? - MOVIE OPINIONS - MSNBC.com
Nobody’s made a feature-length film spinoff of the series since Peter Cushing starred in two forgettable “Doctor Who” movies in the mid-1960s.
Though a movie of “Dunwich” was made in 1970, the original story was made almost unrecognizable, with trendy psychedelic nonsense replacing the admittedly outlandish and over-the-top, but truly scary, scenario.
The villains of this hypothetical film would almost certainly have to be the tank-like Daleks simply because they’re The Doctor’s most popular foes, but we’d love to see what Jackson would do with such eerie aliens as the fungoid Zygons, the amoeba-like Rutan, or the reptilian Silurians and Sea Devils.

IMHO the first movie that told us Jackson was a bit more special than the tongue in cheek horror pastiches he was churning out in the early part of his career.
