I truly appreciated the Lovecraftian feel throughout this entire movie.
I appreciated the introspective look into grief and the loss of a friendship that had grown distant.
I appreciated the trip into existentialism.
I appreciated the conclusion of the film.
Okay I haven’t watched too many Lovecraft inspired films at all, and I’ve read nearly all of H. P. Lovecraft’s written works. For one of my first forays into horror films of this type I did appreciate the dark, creeping terror the builds throughout the movie. I loved that it is very British. I just really enjoyed this movie more than I thought I was going to.
The main character’s friend is found dead of apparent suicide and he feels guilty so he takes it upon himself to do some digging into what his friend was doing. Oh, and his wife is pregnant and close to her due date while all of this is going on. He (Chris), listens as his friend narrates the first third of the movie, while trying to process his grief.
Well, it soon takes a very dark turn from there. Not just for Chris’ grief either.
