#29. A film based on any of the works of H.P. LovecraftFor this month's scavenger hunt task of watching a movie based on a work by HP Lovecraft, I've noticed that a lot of people are choosing an experimental film by Patrick Müller based on The Colour Out of Space; but it was only today that I realized that the film is only five minutes long, and can be watched in its entirety for free at Vimeo, so I thought I'd take five minutes out of my life to watch it too.

Die Bilder, zusammen mit der Musik wirken wie gutes Found Footage Material. Aber, nur weil dazu Zitate aus der Lovecraftschen Vorlage eingesprochen werden, isses nicht gleich eine adäquate Verfilmung.

Hypnotische fünf Minuten, die für mich zu den besten Lovecraft-Adaptionen zählen. Nur leicht verstörender, dafür stilistisch betörender, experimenteller Stummfilm der seltsamen Sorte. 7,5/10.

Interessanter Kurzfilm. Stummfilm der mit Naturbildern die Geschichte von Lovecraft erzählt.

Watched this because I just read Lovecraft's masterpiece of the same name ... can't say that this really works on any level to be honest, just kind of splices in a few quotes from the story every know and then with some fairly unconnected footage. The footage is visually appealing to some degree, however its association with the story is questionable at best.

I came across this by mere accedent, and while going through the director's channel on Vimeo I was blessed with the opportunity to watch "Walpurgisnacht". A beautiful sinister creation that will please the witch in you!

Not sure if this is the one with nic cage if it is I wanted to like it but really hated it.
If it's not then I'm sure it's good.
