While we may not agree with the faithfulness or accuracy of this piece, lets not be TOO judgmental. For whatever shortcomings it has, they put a lot of heart, time, and tears into this.
What is severely wrong with this, is that the voice of the narrator sounds like that of someone who has been immersed in lovecraftian mythos rather than a traveller lost in a new and unfamiliar world - which is the flavour of the original story. very poorly researched and even more poorly considered and executed. I don't care if it is 'ART'; some art is crap - as exemplified here.
Hey -- back off critics -- this is art, & it is certainly eldritch. But why are they reading not from Lovecraft but from "The House on the Borderland" by William Hope Hodgson??? Queer indeed!
I wouldn't say that the music doesn't fit. It's entiteld "Mountaines of Madness". And the first song, along with their appearence is pretty twisted...
I think it's hard to produce a good horror movie based off the cthulu mythos. Because Lovecraft left alot of what happend in his stories up to the reader to imagine, he hinted at stuff, and you had to fill in the blanks.
Ah, to be honest, this is pretty good, but there was quite a bit of... cherry picking involved in making this... those are easily the best bits of the entire production up there.
What the fAAACk ? What is this ? I thought it was a trailer about Hp lovecrafts book the mountains of madness , this is a kind of a bad broadway musical !
I already know the Robert W.Chambers's book, but i really think these movies based on these horror classics are just ridicolous...I love Lovecraft, but i hate his filmmakers
2b fair, horror is a very difficult genre, and H.P. demands a more intimate portrayal of psychological distress than most actors and directors can manage. I may be canned for saying it, but it needs the same treatment as if you were making a film of a Henry James novel... say "Portrait of a Lady". Horror is often seen as a subset of the action movie, and it just won't work for H.P.'s stuff.
EXACTLY. If Lovecraft was alive (and he probably is... o.O) he'd be PISSED! No one does ANYTHING right! Like, I just watched "Dunwich Horror," made in 2009, I guess, and it SUCKED. ROYALLY. Yog-Sothoth was depicted as some bs Alien movie reject, in the center of a purple thunderstorm with no rain. I hope the REAL DEAL breaks through to this world and kills the director.
Only redeeming quality, was an old guy who could shoot lightning out of his fingertips. And Wilber Whatley was cool too.
Fantastic!!! I was reading Rats in the Walls the other night before I went to sleep. Alexander, you have very good taste. Is there a record available, because, if so, I MUST have it!!!

Agreed, it's great that the Tiger Lillies are into Lovecraft but their music just doesn't fit the piece at all.

I've actually picked up a record of

It just seems so unique that McDowell would do a Lovecraft reading that I just couldn't pass it up.
