while there have never been any good lovecraft adaptations, this movie is certainly one of the worst. maybe if they'd condensed it to a 5 min video clip it could have been fun, but as it is, it only gets on your nerves. special effects are terrible, the actors are bad and know it, the narrator is pathetic, and the story is close to non-existent. to make things worse, you get the same fast-cut, nervous, overlayed gore/dream sequences a la blair witch project or saw every couple of minutes, always the same, always the same. plus, it has not much to do with the original story either. it has some light moments (maybe one or two), but in general, definitely not worth your time.
