I definally know what you mean with regards to this film but if you look back and take a look at horror and its use of source material i think you have to disagree to some degree...
Though the earlier Frankenstein and Dracula(and Carmilla) films of both Hammer and Universal definally tryed to hold a bit true (and have some regard for) their literary origins the later films in both series were more removed and increasily exploitative of the original works.....But despite this I still love films like Taste the Blood of Dracula, Lust for a vampire, Frankenstein Created woman and the House of Dracula/Frankenstein..
And beyond that - look at what Stuart Gordon did to Re-Animator - I'm sure Gordon has a love for Lovecrafts works but his film adaptations of Re-Animator an dthe Beyond would have 'real' fans and Lovecraft spinning in his grave....
