A thoughtless adaption of one of Lovecraft's most recognizable stories. The film maker clearly failed to grasp the themes of Lovecraft and only took notice of the most obvious surface elements. Coupled with lazy direction that produces some of the most unintentionally funny moments I've ever seen in a "thriller", shallow characters that seemingly have no motivation for their actions beyond the trope that they represent, and a heavy pile of cgi. It is my opinion that this is one of many attempts at production companies trying to cash in on the resurgence of Lovecraftian horror in the public eye.
