this fake documentary be flaw on a lot of point and it badly make and have uninteresting character but the big problem i have with it be the basic premise . this film use the idea that h. p. lovecraft have travel to italy and that some of his work be base on real supernatural event that he witness . i be willing to go along with the notion that he travel to italy ( only for suspension of disbelieve ) but that some of his work be base on reality and that insmouth exist be total nonsense . first of all and lovecraft do not believe in the supernatural and in his letter he clearly state that he consider himself a mechanical materialist and his monster where there to show that human weren not so special after all . another myth use in this film be that lovecraft be an expert on the occult and he wasn not and all his knowledge on the subject come from the most basic source . so we end up with a film about people jell at each other a lot and when we finally see the monster and it so bad that you can not even laugh at it and you just feel a pain in your love for horror . after see the film frankenstein lovecraft say that he felt sorry for mary shelley because he felt that her work be butcher . i feel sorry for lovecraft .
