To whoever asked-City Of The Living Dead was about Dunwich.There's no mention of Arkham in the film.
I loved In The Mouth Of Madness, The Call Of Cthulhu, Cool Air, Dagon, gay Cthulhu, From Beyond and Castle Freak. I didn't think much of the recent Dunwich Horror or The Lurking Fear or The Haunted Palace. But the film to truly avoid is "The Last Lovecraft:Relic From Cthulhu" absolutely diabolically awful. avoid avoid avoid

I actually kinda enjoyed The Last Lovecraft - I didn't have much expectations and it exceeded those. They could have improved the shitty Star Spawn outfit though..
Still working up the courage to watch In Search of Lovecraft...

From Beyond (1999)
 This is definitely one of the better low budget 'Fan' made films that are available through from Lurker Films (this on Volume 2) and follows the story to a tee. The acting isn't bad and though the effects are limited they work very well in this context. Its shot in black and white while the creatures and machine effects are done in colour. As good as shoestring budget Lovecraft can get. The director, Bob Fugger, played bass for excellent Canadian Lovecraftian inspired rock band, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Jordan Pratt who plays who plays the Narrator is the bands drummer. *A sticker for Miskatonic University can be seen on the window of the car at the start. *The narration and dialogue is straight out of the original story. *Fugger also shot a version of 'The Terrible Old Man'.

In Search Of Lovecraft? Dare I ask?
I'm also on the lookout for last year's Pickman's Muse which is another low budget film but is supposed to be pretty decent.

Pickman's Muse looks a bit more interesting. A kinda art version of Haunter in the Dark. I'm meant to be getting a promo copy so hopfully that comes thru.

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, the people who brought you the silent version of Call of Cthulhu, has just finished their first "talkie", The Whisperer in Darkness. The trailer for which can be seen here,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ee9K9hXtw It also highly recommend Out of Mind from Vol. 3 of the H.P. Lovecraft Film Collection. Christopher Heyerdahl does an amazing job of playing HPL. See for yourselves, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2xpFj1CH3k And while not outright adaptions, Lucio Fulci made some very Lovecraftian films, City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and House By The Cemetery. Bava also "adapted" the Case of Charles Dexter Ward both in Black Sunday and Baron Blood. Interestingly, Bava was all set to direct an adaption of the Dunwich Horror, which was going to star Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee. Unfortunately, Bava chose to drop the project after it became apparent that the budget just wasn't there. The project limped off to England to become Curse of the Crimson Altar. The fourth Blind Dead film, Night of the Seagulls, was based on the Shadow Over Innsmouth. Also, there's the very Lovecraftian Quartermass and the Pit, probably the best de facto HPL flick made yet.
