Well, as a lover of all things Lovecraft, I must say that I found this movie very entertaining and like my title says EXTREMELY imaginative. And, when we are talking Lovecraft, imagination frigg'n Rules!
How many films these days have this much creative force behind them? Yes, there were some rough areas with the acting. And I personally could have done without the constant sexual element (not to be a prude at all, I just felt cinematically it was distracting from the powerful otherworldly mood of the movie, that's all) But, honestly, TONS of imagination in this story. I know I keep saying that, but I am so used to supposed Horror films these days being so pedestrian or trying to be so 'Hip' But, not in this case. This one grabs you by the nutZ and drags you right into other dimensions and never lets go.
Maybe the people who have rated this so far just don't care for Lovecraftian films, IDK... But, if you are like me and you really love these kinds of stories, I truly cannot see how you could possibly not be greatly entertained by this one (I know that was a bit of a double negative there, but I think you get the idea... 😊)
Just the casting alone of the main 'Bad' guy and his, uh... 'Helpers' was frigg'n brilliant! Wow, I remember seeing that strange little guy in another very offbeat film, what a look! Anyway, it's got the whole scientists searching for the 'Quantum' Dimension kind of thing and we've definitely got the Old Gods and what I feel is a great mythology created in this story. If you are indeed a fan of all things Lovecraft, this movie has it all, I'm telling you.
Maybe I was a tad generous giving this film an '8', but you have to remember, I am thinking about all the other supposed Horror movies out there that to me anyway are FAR less interesting and entertaining than this one. So, on the curve so to speak, I think this one was pretty damn good!
Just for those of Lovecraftian lore. Others, apparently the current ones rating this excellent film at a 3.4 can certainly go elsewhere and kindly not P*ss all over the rating of a great movie like this one.
