This supernatural/horror movie was way too ambitious for its own good considering it’s very limited budget, talent and the story was just too over their heads, I’ve just seen way too many movies like it and most of them are way better than this mess. The only part that I liked was the creepy dream sequence in the beginning that makes you think that this might be a pretty good and spooky flick but I was dead wrong. It pretty much went nowhere terrifying from there and it was like a broken record going around in a pretty generic and boring path that lost my interest but I stuck it out waiting for something better but it never came through for me. It’s a shame because judging from the trailer it looked like it was going to be one scary flick but I should know by now not to judge a movie by it’s trailer but was so much looking forward to this flick, I’m very disappointed in the poor performance on display here. Overall this was pretty much a huge failure on all counts and very generic through and through, this could of been so much better if it was in the right hands. Not recommended!!! More of a 1.5 out of 5 stars.
Stupid movie and Stupid FX. The story is too boring.
Overall not a bad Lovecraft adaptation, my biggest complaints come from where they parted ways with Lovecraft’s work. I do understand why they chose to make those affected (or infected if you prefer) by the “colour” act violently, but this demystified the story by giving distinctly human like motivations to that which was supposed to be so wholly otherworldly that we could not even properly describe it. It also seemed that they attributed to it morality, which is a human concept which further demystifies that which does not belong in our reality.
