H.P. Lovecraft's Witch House

I am a fan of Lovecraften horror, so I thought I'd give it a go even though it had a bad rating, and I wish I hadn't. Like how do you make Lovecraft's work boring?? How!? There's even lecture scenes were they just managed to make it even more boring, the delivery of the lines is just so flat.

This was mixed with periods of no dialogue over trippy scenes. Like why not edit parts of the lectures over these scenes? Rather than showing people also bored out of their minds?

There is no tension, no horror. The acting is terrible, the editing is atrocious. The plot is really weak. It's all round terrible. There is also a tentacle r*pe SCENE. Honestly it's not even funny bad, just boring.

Not sure how this is titled "H. P. Lovecraft's". Because it most certainly is NOT. I'm very familiar with all HPL's writings and am a lifelong fan. This doesn't follow any of his stories...... Which in itself isn't a bad thing. I mean The Void is bits and pieces from a bunch of Locecraft's stories and it is AWESOME. And it's an indie movie.

So, it's definitely possible for an indie outfit without a huge budget to make an excellent Lovecraftian movie.

This one is not anywhere near excellent...or good.... or worth watching.

I'd hang this DVD on a string outside to scare birds away. It's definitely not worth watching.

Stumbling upon the 2021 movie adaptation of the H. P. Lovecraft short story "Dreams in the Witch House" here in 2022, I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch this movie from writers Bobby Easley and Ken Wallace.

However, I have to be honest, while the movie's cover/poster seemed interesting enough, I must admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any high hopes for "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House", since the majority of attempts to put Lovecraft's work to the screen has been dubious at best. But hey, director Bobby Easley deserved a fair chance with "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House".

"H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House" is a mixed bag of nuts, so to speak. The production value in this 2021 movie is good, and that definitely counts for something. The storyline, however, well while it is influenced by the Lovecraft short story, the writers were definitely enjoying some creative freedom with the script. I have to say that I prefer to read the short story over watching this movie.

Yeah, "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House" was not an overly impressive foray into the cosmic dread of Lovecraft's Mythos. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was someone on the B movie side.

Now, I am a huge fan of the Mythos and the universe that H. P. Lovecraft created and that countless of authors have expanded upon in his wake. But this movie just wasn't particularly impressive.

My rating of "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Man, real poor writing left green actors stranded! Im not sure why alot of movies are getting made with bad sound as well. The sound in this movie is real bad. I was up & down on the volue button the entire time!

Lady goes & stays at a large house, oh like 3 folks live there and the only availanle room is the attic? Ok. So she is researching portholes and how geometry facors into it. From there the story line unfolds like LSD. Half assed plot, scenes are all over the place, at times unrelated, as though the movie is about randon visuals.

There is some very nice camera work, the location is nice. Unfortunately the bad outweighs the good here.

Directors & Producers might consider having an impartial outsider look at their dailys to offer input. Clearly this is another example of how ego blinds a person.

A movie lensed to cash in on the marquee value of H. P. Lovecraft's name, this Indiana curiosity has its strengths. Unfortunately, those don't include competent acting or a coherent script. Filmed in a historic 19th century house, the story concerns a grad student who has moved to said house to avoid an abusive ex. She's writing a thesis on geometry somehow providing the doorway to another dimension, or something. The film kicks into high gear when said student pierces this other realm. Fever dream sequences of Satanists and witches cavorting naked in occult rituals abound, which seem to be the director's strong suit. Murder and mayhem ensue. There's probably some half-baked message about female empowerment in here, but it's lost in the bad acting, wild occult rituals, and gore. Just enough here to hold your interest.
