H.P.Lovecraft's The Whisperer In Darkness film adaption

[Korvac Saga]

Saw this at my library and decided to give it a try over the weekend. Apparently done on a shoestring $350K budget, this film attempted to tell the H.P.Lovecraft story, The Whisperer In Darkness". Lovecraft's stories are often not suited to easy film adaptions and this was also the case here. The screenwriters took some liberties with the source material here and cut and added elements which to me worked very well. A tough story to tell, but I think they pulled it off admirably. A must for any Lovecraft fan!!!

What's the name of the movie? I have yet to see any of his work adapted into something competent.

 

The only thing close was JOHN CARPENTER's IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, which not an adaptation, but hugely influenced by HPL's works.

Also called "The Whisperer In Darkness"(2011). (thumbs u Some changes were made to ease the transition to film and I feel those changes work quite well and still retain HPL's story. And I see its available through Netflix.

We're going to be showing this film at the PCA/ACA conference this year as part of the Pulp Studies session and we'll have a panel discussing it. Should be pretty cool.

I like both the Whisperer and the Call of Cthulhu movies.

 

I think the HPL Historical Society did a pretty good job adapting each story, though I prefer Cthulhu because it was done in the silent movie style.

Agreed, they've done a marvelous job in these adaptions.

Anybody who gets in the way of a HPL and GDT collaboration should be sent to the Siberian salt mines for life!!!!!!!!
