H. P. Lovecraft / Cthulhu mythos

[RaNkeri]

Yeah, the cannibal scene was rather poorly made, but I wouldn't judge the whole movie just because of some minor errors that occured. The fact is that the movie was true to the novel, which is quite rare, and was able to catch the right "Lovecraftian" atmosphere.

When it comes to his longer stories, well I've never found the length of the story to be a problem. Lovecraft has a great way of building up the suspense and it works great, atleast for me. Sure, At the mountains of madness was sightly dull at some points, but he really makes up for it later. I'd rank At the mountains of madness as one of my favorite Lovecraft stories. If you find at the mountains of madness to be boring, well I could suggest The whisperer in darkness and The case of Charles Dexter Ward, which offer more suspense, if that's what you're after.

Although Charles Dexter Ward was probably Lovecraft's longest story and has a huge buildup before the suspense really starts kicking you in the groin. :/
