All things considered, Carpenter's absolute peak. He's always shuffled between 3 modes, often within the same movie: campy, spooky, and horrific. But this is the first time he didn't shatter the test tubes. Don't expect a true-to-the-source Lovecraft movie; this one's pure Carpenter. Watch it with the volume LOUD. "I think, therefore you are."

Reviews
This is Lovecraftian horror done right. There are too many movies that try for Lovecraft material without understanding what it is about, and it bottoms out pretty quickly. This movie gets it, and follows through. It has solid scares, fantastic production and a great cast. It is just a solid horror-pick for any movienight, and I recommend it whole-heartedly.
