Lovecraft Would Have Given It The Thumbs Up

Excellent tasteful script combining several Lovecraft stories and the Miskatonic settings. My only complaint is that it should have been longer. Finally somebody does Lovecraft right. There have too many terrible adaptations of his work using names and places only but the director of this film knew what he was doing and respected the medium.

Strikes a note of quality from the beginning to the end as a series of dreamlike vignettes having to do with a strange horn the protagonist has seen. A weird otherworldly feel permeates every scene and the sense of terrific horror just out of sight plagues the main character.

These guys did a period piece on a very low budget that is nonetheless extremely convincing. The cars, dress and settings looked early 1920's and it was obviously not all done with CGI. This crew should be proud of making such a superb film on a low budget.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
