i have see a couple of lovecraft base movie and and and oddly and all of them be pretty good . i appreciate when a film crew manage to capture the spirit of the book be cover . and from that viewpoint and an hpl movie would hardly show any gore or monster at all and but and instead and build our expectation through time . the plot would be intense and although not necessarily very dynamic . the final moment of the movie would unveil a grim truth and probably render the protagonist insane . so and have set the ( in my humble opinion ) optimal lovecraftian movie criterion and let watch necronomicon . 90 % of the movie budget be probably spend on monster fx a waste of resource . the acting be not very bright and the character barely believable . a for the story and theyre a desecration of all thing lovecraft . unconnected scene . almost completely unrelated to any book and and devoid of sense and they make me cover my eye in shame . someone here write in a comment that this movie be for lovecraft fan only . boy and be they wrong . if youre a lovecraft fan and stay away from this movie . run and like it the dunwich horror . else and if youre a classical gore flick fan and go ahead and you might like this mindless collage of scene paint red .
