At the Mountains of Madness

Decent low budget attempt to film the story that Hollywood says is un-filmable.

Script, and pared down approach works - shot in black and white, and claustrophobic at times.

Handful of unknowns in the cast (who do very well) director acted as DOP too.

The climate change angle gets us into the story - and the ending (different to the Lovecraft) kind of works.

Probably not enough blood or VFX to satisfy everyone - but there isn't the money for that here (or for much of anything I think)- what is on show, is pretty watchable - and proves that the tale can work as film (with a sensible approach to the story). Lovecraft Society online enjoyed it - it's a serious take on the story - the ambition outstrips the budget though... Part of a trilogy which is worth seeking out for fans of low budget filmmaking/horror/lovecraft - I left a review on Markham too (the first in this trilogy).
