Lovecraft done right

Terrific actors, an ominous start, an interesting antihero, and a story that keeps getting darker and more threatening.

First rate dialogue as well, though it is not a dialogue-heavy film.

I loved everything about this ,and recommend it to any Lovecraft or just horror writer.

6.3/10. Watchable.

It's a short film, 39 minutes. I wish it was longer. It was interesting and at some point, it had me on the edge of my seat. There were good ideas here which could have been capitalized more. Because in 39 minutes, it seemed like it ended abruptly and without a clear look about what happened. So, i can't give a higher rating, it's like a half movie. But it was good and i am glad i watched it. I think that most of horror fans will enjoy it. David Prior directed later EMPTY MAN, a very good horror movie. And one of the best episodes of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. Maybe he could come back in this and made it a full movie.

Brave

Throughout the whole film I was both terrified and morbidly curious, looking for a clear explanation and wanting to stay in the dark and enjoy the mystery. It's terrifying and subtle, and acted magnificently. It's not flawless, for aesthetic reasons I won't go into because I don't want to include spoilers here. Still, it is a brave movie, and you should watch it.

Short and sweet

Really cool creature film and one of those rare movies with smart use of sound. First time it happened we were like "whoa, that was a good idea".

I wish there were more films like this.

A great little horror/suspense film.

I recently saw 1200 AM at the H.P. Lovecraft film festival and was absolutely blown away by it. Although it is based on an original story (rather than being an adaptation of one of Lovecraft's works) it fit perfectly into the genre.

When embezzling businessman Jonah Henry (John Billingsley)begins driving cross country his greatest fear is that he will be captured by the police. A mysterious radio broadcast from an isolated radio station, a few wrong turns, and car trouble on a lonely country road are just the start of his troubles. Forced to take shelter in the nearly abandoned radio station Jonah comes into contact with a far greater horror than he could ever have imagined.

Although the story is fairly straightforward, this short film really packs a wallop. Suspenseful, gory, and with a nasty surprise at the end, 1200 AM is hands down the best horror film I've seen in quite awhile.

Trivia
In a 2023 interview with Fincher Fanatic, David Prior spoke about getting the film made with some help from people he'd connected with during his time making DVD making-of documentaries: "I'm sure the natural assumption is that I was only able to make the film by cashing in a lot of favors. There was some of that, but not as much as you might think. I did have a good deal of help from a few important people. The DP, Brian Hoodenpyle, and his crew were people I've used on a lot of the DVD stuff. Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr., who I'd worked with on Alien La resurrección (1997) as well as La habitación del pánico (2002), generously donated the dummy of Jake Gyllenhaal that the main character pulls down the stairs. Peter Mavromates, David Fincher's post production supervisor, was a great help in securing a reasonably affordable digital intermediate, and the people at Technicolor were very accommodating. But everything was bought and paid for by me personally. And often enough the only person I could afford was me, which is one of the reasons I did so much of it myself - editing, production design, sound design, a few VFX shots, etc. I planned the shoot, (rewriting, doing the previsualization) while I was working on Blade II (2002) and Panic Room, and then shot it between DVD jobs over the next couple of years. The post production alone took nearly two years."
