Painful to Watch
People seem to be praising this film simply because it is truer to the Lovecraft story than usual; but then is someone simply reading the story aloud a better film? If you can’t make believable characters, can’t think of any other narrative way to tell your story beside constant tedious voice-overs while a guy wanders around a poorly designed set, can’t create tension or mood or illicit good performances from actors who are obviously trying then you haven’t made a good film. One definition of “amateur” is “Lacking professional skill or expertise” and this is the perfect example of amateur with no budget. Horribly photographed, poorly directed (even the compositions are usually bad) and with some of the worst student level editing and “special effects” I’ve even seen. They might have followed the plot of Lovecraft but they failed at everything else.
Why bother?
Another day, another indie flick supposedly based on a story by the great H.P. Lovecraft – long one of my all-time favourite writers – but which turns out to be interminable, pointless, and completely generic when it comes to scares. This one’s been unsurprisingly updated to the present day, where a bunch of characters chat in a house and the foundations of a plotline barely play out. The horror is non-existent, the technical qualities terrible; why bother?
