| User ReviewBethany-Marie WCast performs dreadfully. Weak direction and a somewhat misconstrued plotline with slow pace. |
| User Reviewken jA news reporter is stuck doing a lame story on Halloween as filler for her tv station asking random people on the street if they know who HP Lovecraft is that is until she interviews this professor who hints that maybe the stuff in Lovecraft's stories aren't all the work of fiction and some believe that the things he wrote about truly have happened so of course like any good reporter her and her cameraman decide to investigate which leads them into some very dangerous situations. This movie would have been so much better had they got some money together and got decent actors to play these parts i gave it 2 stars for story but overall the movie is a low budget mess and only should be watched if u wanna see what could have been |
| User ReviewDan ZAside from a decent jump ending and a hot witch, this movie really does not having much to offer. Cheese-wise the film is so horrible its great. the film lacks an idea of what it is trying to be with linear found footage style shooting, only for the movie to decide "fuck it" and shoot in a more standard style. Coupled with some wonderfully cheesy acting, bad editing, an alleged plot and a hot witch who take WAY too long to a complete a channeling sequence, the movie is good for a couple beers with friends. would not recommend to hardcore lovecraft fans. |
| User ReviewBrian CNot very often a movie starts out with so much promise and crashes so badly. In Search of Lovecraft fails where most Lovecraft movies fail, in the portrayal of the Old Ones. They even say that just seeing them will drive a person utterly insane because they are indescribable...yet in this, they are just boring nonsense. Aside from that (which admittedly all Lovecraft based movies suffer from) this starts off great. A really interesting old movie setting the stage, then meeting the main characters trying to make a documentary about the reality of Lovecraft's mythos. Then the witch shows up, the doors get stupid and sigh... |
| User ReviewDavid EThis was a terrible mess of a movie. Not one ounce of acting skill was present in this B-movie. Not interesting and certainly not scary. The cover states that it won some movie award. I can't even imagine what the others contenders were. Save your time and skip this. |
| User ReviewShawn-Ray MI don't know what I expected to find when I sat down to watch this movie. I figured it'd be bad, chocked full of bad acting and only tangentially connected with anything Lovecraftian. That's what I got... only it's also a pseudo-Blair Witch clone. 90% of this movie is told from the camera man's perspective, and then towards the end it kind of foregoes that and ends up looking like a bad 70s horror film. I don't really have much else to say about it.. |
| User ReviewKerie CIn search of Lovecraft? Don't look here. You'll find only a yawning gulf of unnameable horrors stretching out before you for a no-budget, no-talent hour and a half that will leave you wanting to plunge shoggoths into your eyes. "In Search of Lovecraft" has a suitably Lovecraftian premise: a very green TV news reporter is researching HP Lovecraft for a Halloween story. She stumbles into an occult expert who tells her that the whole thing is real and leads her straight to the cult of Nyarlathotep... but anyone who knows that the cult exists becomes its target. The expert, the reporter, her cameraman and a witch team up to save their own lives and to find the black stone trapezohedron that the cultists will use to open the gate and let Nyarlathotep in on November 6. Which doesn't make much sense, since they've already made a big deal about Nyarlathotep being the only outer god who dwells among humans. Wouldn't seem like he'd have much use for a gate if he's already here, and if this was the flick's worst problem, we could let it pass. The thing is, this one goes wrong in more ways than there are tentacles on Cthulhu's face. The acting is uniformly wooden, horrible enough to drive anyone who sees it insane. The writing is terrible, too. Characters do things that simply don't make any sense, and the whole thing revolves around the notion that San Francisco's Coit Tower is secretly a landing pad for the malevolent Lovecraftian gods. Throw in some terrible CG (wait until you see the dimensional hound!) and puppetry (a tentacle clearly attached to nothing at one point), a mish-mash of New Age, Solomonic and Thelemic ritual magic performed by a willowy blond with no acting ability and a nasal voice -- hearing her chanting is *such* a treat -- and you've got something much, much worse than anything found in the Necronomicon. I'm a major fan of Lovecraft and will see any movie even remotely based on his work, and I tend to be more lenient in my estimation of Lovecraftiana than other sorts of horror films because I love the idea of someone trying to film one of HPL's notoriously difficult-to-film stories. "In Search of Lovecraft" does little more than borrow names from Lovecraft's works, though. It isn't really based on anything he wrote and the baddies here could have been anything at all; there's nothing particularly Lovecraftian about them, or the story, or anything other than throwing a bunch of hard-to-pronounce words at the viewer. If the makers of this atrocious insult to the memory of the great horror author ever did find Lovecraft, he'd probably slap them for making this thing. |
