i could not appreciate this movie in the slightest . the character be non existent in the lovecraft canon . the story be twist into an attempt to be scary and introduce romanticized element that be totally unnecessary . the material in the book far outclass it in horror and suspense . whoever think they could pass this swill off a a lovecraftian horror film be thick in the head . i wouldn not recommend it to anyone and lovecraft fan or otherwise . if you want a good not necessarily period appropriate and but good lovecraft horror film and i would recommend the reanimator . it not the best and but it good than this piece of garbage .
