Ryosuke Yamada This is certainly one of the better Lovecraft inspired movies I've seen. I only have a few gripes with it, and one of them is that ending seemed a little rushed. I would have liked a slightly longer epilogue, and to have seen more of how the adventure affected the protagonist and his friends. As it was, we only got a glimpse, and it wasn't even a follow- up on the supposed main character. Another problem with this movie is that significance of Charlie being a descendant of Lovecraft is barely explored, and only comes into play for a few moments in the last 7-10 minutes of the movie. In addition, some parts of the film felt a bit awkwardly mean-spirited to me- not in the humanity is insignificant and awful kind of way, but in more of the YouTube abridge parody sort of way (not that I don't enjoy many YouTube parodies). Most of the humor thankfully didn't fail to hit home. It's not every day I find a modern movie with a decent helping of cheese, so the silliness in general was appreciated. Final verdict: Does it capture the essence of Lovecraft? Hell no, but it's a fun comedy that borrows from the mythos and drops some funny nods to geek culture on side.

LadyBeth10 Okay, I gave this a 10, because despite it's obviously low budget, this is one of the best horror comedies I've ever seen! The acting, direction, production, script, and everything else I can't think of now are just inspired goofiness! It's geeks vs. freaks, with great animated segues, wonderfully cheesy effects befitting a B-movie spoof, and very tongue-firmly-in-cheek dialogue. I love Lovecraft, but this was just a wonderfully silly send up of horror/monster films in general. I see some Young Frankenstein, Eight Legged Freaks, and Shaun of the Dead especially. All of these guys are up and coming, if anyone in Hollywood has half a brain left these days!! I demand a sequel!!!!

terao1002 The fanboy dorkiness just pervaded this film like the worst stench from the bowels of Hell. I got so sick of the homie-speak and the unnecessary foul language, I just wanted every character dead within the first 15 minutes. The lamest and laziest trick in the book if you can't be bothered to write intelligent dialogue or develop your characters.I love low-budget films, and labour of love this film may have been, but the heart was definitely the only organ involved in the writing.If you want to see an homage to Lovecraft, check out the beautifully and imaginatively done "The Call of Cthulhu".

rock_bustin Honestly,I split a gut several times laughing at this B-Movie style piece. Forget the Lovecraft Afficionados who would condemn this to the ash-heap of film history. It has several very funny scenes and lots of gag that spoof the very people who are writing those bad reviews.Two geeky slackers who don't even know when a pretty girl(Sanjuta Day) is propositioning them are stuck in an endless number of work-days performing meaningless tasks in their cubicle-bounded world. All of a sudden one of them - a Last Lovecraft Descendant - gets called upon to somehow keep the nefarious Cult of Cthulu from reuniting the two halves of a lost relic that will allow Great Cthulu to rise again from his sunken city and take over the world.The rest of the movie details their floundering attempts to do same whilst surviving all kinds of one-liners, spoofed characters, silly situations - and a fair amount of gore. Special FX are minimal and the movie pretty much goes downhill slowly in plot and sensibility as the movie proceeds.Nonetheless, I repeatedly found myself laughing out loud at the silly gags and very funny characters they run in to. It has little to do with Lovecraft other than hijacking his name and some of his monsters but it is still worth a watch fer sure. There is some gore and there's a lot of language such as f-bombs too. There's also a lot of sly satire at the expense of the various characters - For example, a pitiful half-man/half-fish is kept alive by one of the Good Guys by sprinkling tropical fish food into his drooling mouth. You get the idea. Six stars for the laughs only but worth a watch.-Rock_Bustin
