The Whisperer In Darkness (2011) finally saw this long awaited HP Lovecraft Historical Society film. As with The Call Of Cthulhu (2005) this is another labour of pure love that instead of making into a silent movie they have aimed for black and white 50s sci fi horror. This is an outstanding piece of work all shadowy cloak and dagger intrigue, secret alien invasion plot, surprising contemporary dialogue and plenty of mythos to sink your teeth into. I actually can't wait to watch this again as I know there are things I may have missed such is the intricacy of it's delivery with at times a glorious atmosphere of dread without any concessions to the mainstream at all. Though having said that this may be a great film to get a new audience interested in all things Lovecraft. I truly hope it succeeds.
