i have to admit that i have not read any of lovecraft work and hence i can not include any comparison between the story to the film in my verdict . although film base on book rarely meet expectation and there be those which be a great and sometimes they be even good than the book . i suppose fan of lovecraft work will be incline to support the former case a i find it difficult to imagine any fan possibly enjoy this film . i be restless and constantly look at the clock and tried my best to hang in there until the credit roll just for the hell of it . this film be neither coherent nor interesting and but just loose tale cut and edit together with nothing that catch your attention or interest . i would like to keep myself short and but i advise anyone to stay away from this horrible film . it be not even good enough for time kill . negative .
