Review by luciuspapyrius

From all the lovecraftian adaptations I've watched recently (Re-Animator, Necronomicon, Color Out of Space, Dagon), this movie is by far the truest one, and that is saying a lot since this is obviously a low-budget work of love. Apart from the ending scene and a couple of other story elements, the narrative sticks faithfully to the original tale. The period characterization is very good and the black&white captures the mood in a very interesting way. What I would change is the use of very bad CGI for the alien creatures and instead keep them half-hidden from viewers through shadow and light effects.
