  • This is the best version of the short story that I have seen. I know some would like a hollywood version but let's be realistic. If the executives started on this kind of project they would cast Carter as a female, Warren as a talking dog, and the story would be about thier journey to find a father figure. Private film companies are the only ones who have been the msot faithful to Lovecraft's vision.

  • The guy playing Carter sounds like this is his first time acting. The delivery just seemed off big time. That and like oconnorcd said, there's a CSI feeling to it, partially due to the camera work on top of the whole "WOAH LOOK AT THIS" effect every couple of minutes.

  • @MyLovelyHomicide yes, you're right. I just notice things like that, but of course it's not the most important. and I meant: it was one of the disadvantages. some scenes were the second. but instead of it, this is one of the best adaptations of this story.

  • @TheDetroitAndy as a lovecraft fan i generally get more dissapointed when the acting or atmosphere dont suit lovecraft than little changes like the way a character looks. its impossible for a director to create exactly what one imagines from one of his stories cause each person will imagine it in a different way

  • @MyLovelyHomicide oh yes. and MANY adjectives...xd

    um, generally this film is not very bad, but it's not very good too. there's a problem with the actors-they aren't very...suitable. I mean Carter should bee a bit too thin (as I remember from Lovecraft's description), and Warren ought to be WHITE. I am not a racist, but Lovecraft was-we can't deny it. that's all.

  • and thats literal

  • i like the "warren is dead" voice. it sounds like the kind of voice for which lovecraft would need a paragraph for its description XDDD

  • @lordsakkura hahahhahahahXDDD true true......

  • This story left me with what the hell was down there istead of being scared.

  • @lordsakkura PTSD, or the begining stages

  • I know it sounds racist, unfortunately HPL was (his xenophobia is legendary), but hed be turning in his grave that black men where doing his work. You do a good job though.

  • why is warren being so forcefull in the beging he doesent even want randolph to come with him at first
