Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

john-256-2615 I feel sorry for the guys that produced this, because it seems like they made a massive loss.In my view, having read most of HPL's stuff and in particular recently re-read "A shadow out of Innsmouth", I must say that this is a really good adaptation of the book. In fact, it is the best interpretation of HPL that I've seen. (I've seen others which are truer to his stories but which do not adequately capture the suspense).My guess is that the nature of the characters (academic, some of them gay) is too hard for the average American to relate to. Outside of the USA (ie where we accept that the chief character is not a gunslinger and a womaniser) this film is really good. I guess the typical American audience didn't understand it because it didn't contain lots of ravishing of bimbos and lots of exploding cars, trucks and aircraft. Oh and not enough shooting. And no car chases. That's probably why it rates so badly.The various horror scenes are generally implied rather than literal, which also is probably too intellectual for an American audience, accustomed to gratuitous idiotic in-your-face rubbish like Kill Bill. The scene with the camera which flashes periodically is particularly nerve-wracking the first time you see it.That's why I gave it a 10. If I were to criticise it, it would just be that they didn't understand the low-brow audience who wouldn't get it because it didn't have any ka-blah, ka-blah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeSUuj98Rx0

Christopher Osburn When I first viewed the film, I was seriously disappointed. It's slow, weird, choppy, inexplicable. Just like a Lovecraft book. (Have you read Lovecraft? Snooze city, seriously!) I would have given this movie a 4.And then . . .Two weeks later, this movie visited my dreams. Associations were formed in my brain. I changed. I would now have given the movie a 6.And I watched the movie again. Now it won't let me go. And once in a while, even these long years later . . . I find myself pulling down the DVD.It's a mistake to judge the movie against any specific Lovecraft book and a mistake to expect a literal interpretation of any book. The film takes an idea and runs with it, it runs, slowly, implacably, and very, very far.And my brain, MY BRAIN, it says GIVE THIS FILM AN 8!

wolfenstein-1 I did not even know this movie existed until four years after it was made. As a Lovecraft fan I got it without hesitation. The Cthulhu concept is so cool it is hard to mess up but they still managed to do it. How you ask? By, among other things, having a flashback of two teenage boys jacking off together under a pier.On the other hand the movie is creepy from time to time when the entire town except him seems to be part of the cult but it is ruined by changing the focus to homosexual exploration as soon as it started to catch my interest.Avoid at all cost. Lovecraft must be turning in his grave. I am not being homophobic, it is just that when you watch something called Cthulhu you don't want to see Brokeback Mountain.

Tyler Geist This is probably the best film adaptation of the lovecraftian style I have ever seen. The first act is a slow burn with a sinister atmosphere, but almost looks more like a family drama. When the second act gets rolling though, things just get more and more bizarre. The leads performance of a desperate man who isn't sure if he's losing his mind is an excellent one. Many reviews have made a big deal of the character being gay. It does serve some important story points, regarding his fathers plans. For those expecting to see a traditional monster movie, thats not what Lovecraftian horror is about. In many of his stories you would only actually see the monster for the last few pages. Up to that point you would only get sinister hints. One of this movies tricks is to continually provide circumstantial evidence that anything is going on. *spoiler* Every clue is shaky or so odd that you begin to question whether the final twist might just be that the good professor is just losing his mind.
