Same here. I liked very much that the film had the whole Lovecraftian mood and atmosphere without being a slavish knock-off. Very few filmmakers have managed to make a decent film based on HPL's ideas, but I think that Carpenter delivered in spades with this one. On the other hand, I can understand why some may not like it. If you're not inclined to enjoy Lovecraft's works in general, you probably wouldn't get nearly as much from it as a fan would.
