Anyone seen it? Based on the story by Lovecraft, although it doesnt have alot to do with the story it gets it's name from. Supposedly, it's more based on The Shadow Over Insmouth, which I havnt read.


Ive watched this a few times. If you can look past the really bad CGI, it's a damn good movie IMO. Very atmospheric, great [although not abundant] gore, original [not to mention really bizare] plot....even a bit creepy in parts. Highly recomended.

It is one of my favoutites. There are some amateur sides observed(esp about visual technics and details), however, the atmosphere in this film is awesome.


It is an excellent alternative for those, who are tired of modern Hollywood horror, like me :)

The best Lovecraft adaptation so far, in my opinion. I didn't like the CGI, but then again, I never do. They definitely got the Lovecraftian atmosphere and the sense of cosmic dread and horror just right though.

Really like this one, recently bought it from a supermarket for less than £3, absolute bargain.

Definitely one of the better Lovecraft adaptions, and really pretty faithful to the story Shadow Over Innsmouth. Stuart Gorden captured the feeling of the town and it's inhabitants pretty well I thought - quite like how I imagined it all! It's not neccessarily one of my all-time favorites, but it's one of those fun movies I can watch over and over... I liked it a lot.

I wasn't too into this movie, but it is better than "Necronomicon" as that movie was so scattered with different stories it was annoying.
