He really knew how to trigger your own imagination, and that's why I think any Lovecraft movie will always be disappointing at some level. No one can ever make something that lives up to the images your own mind has created for you.
I think in anthology form, Lovecraft would work very well, something similar to the Amicus Production films like The House that Dripped Blood, Asylum, and Tales from the Crypt, only more modern with better special effects. I don't want to see a ton of CGI though, a little is fine if it's well done.
