Review – In Search of Lovecraft

Well, at least this features some vague references to actual Lovecraftiana. It's still icing on a standard horror cake, but at least it's spread on fairly thick. An aspiring newscaster gets saddled with a Halloween puff piece about the influence of H.P. Lovecraft on modern horror. So of course she accidentally uncovers a sinister cult trying to conjure up an unspeakable eldritch thing. However, lacking the budget for an unspeakable eldritch thing, the filmmakers instead ask us to settle for some run of the mill pseudo-Wiccan skullduggery. What a shame. The set-up had some potential. Mildly amusing
