H.P. Lovecraft's Witch House

Man, real poor writing left green actors stranded! Im not sure why alot of movies are getting made with bad sound as well. The sound in this movie is real bad. I was up & down on the volue button the entire time!

Lady goes & stays at a large house, oh like 3 folks live there and the only availanle room is the attic? Ok. So she is researching portholes and how geometry facors into it. From there the story line unfolds like LSD. Half assed plot, scenes are all over the place, at times unrelated, as though the movie is about randon visuals.

There is some very nice camera work, the location is nice. Unfortunately the bad outweighs the good here.

Directors & Producers might consider having an impartial outsider look at their dailys to offer input. Clearly this is another example of how ego blinds a person.

Stumbling upon the 2021 movie adaptation of the H. P. Lovecraft short story "Dreams in the Witch House" here in 2022, I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch this movie from writers Bobby Easley and Ken Wallace.

However, I have to be honest, while the movie's cover/poster seemed interesting enough, I must admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any high hopes for "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House", since the majority of attempts to put Lovecraft's work to the screen has been dubious at best. But hey, director Bobby Easley deserved a fair chance with "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House".

"H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House" is a mixed bag of nuts, so to speak. The production value in this 2021 movie is good, and that definitely counts for something. The storyline, however, well while it is influenced by the Lovecraft short story, the writers were definitely enjoying some creative freedom with the script. I have to say that I prefer to read the short story over watching this movie.

Yeah, "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House" was not an overly impressive foray into the cosmic dread of Lovecraft's Mythos. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was someone on the B movie side.

Now, I am a huge fan of the Mythos and the universe that H. P. Lovecraft created and that countless of authors have expanded upon in his wake. But this movie just wasn't particularly impressive.

My rating of "H. P. Lovecraft's Witch House" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Not sure how this is titled "H. P. Lovecraft's". Because it most certainly is NOT. I'm very familiar with all HPL's writings and am a lifelong fan. This doesn't follow any of his stories...... Which in itself isn't a bad thing. I mean The Void is bits and pieces from a bunch of Locecraft's stories and it is AWESOME. And it's an indie movie.

So, it's definitely possible for an indie outfit without a huge budget to make an excellent Lovecraftian movie.

This one is not anywhere near excellent...or good.... or worth watching.

I'd hang this DVD on a string outside to scare birds away. It's definitely not worth watching.

If you want to waste some time then I guess you could watch this.

Rated 2 only because of obligatory sex scene, could have contained more nudity to make it worth the watch but it starts out like a bad p0rn0 anyway the acting is that tinny.

I've managed to watch just over half and it's a task to try and finish the film.

I've seen TV series do better interpretations of H. P. Lovecraft, Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities is a million percent better than this shambles

This could have been an awesome film if only the budget was not so low and the lighting for some reason is so dark its hard to make out what's happening, maybe that's a bonus.

Usually I reserve one star reviews to things so bad as to be funny. I wanted to rate this 0 stars, though, as in bad as to not be worth being called a film.

Why do they use Lovecraft stories in idiotic student quality movies? Because they are out of copyright. And therefore morally, creatively and financially bankrupt people attach their filth to Lovecraft's name simply because they can.

You can see how Lovecraftian this story is when I tell you the protagonist is a bisexual physics student moving in the attic of a house because some guy was stalking her. She moves around in her underwear, she has sex with a girl in the house, the starts dreaming of dark rituals, there is even a kind of tentacle rape scene in it. The only thing remotely Lovecraft is the rats, which in his works would have inspired loathing and disgust, but in this movie they are just really cute.

The sound is atrocious, the acting really bad, the plot nonsensical, there is no horror (except the gory desecration of Lovecraft's name), the editing is stupid and there is no directing to speak of.

Bottom line: I think the guy just wanted to have sex with young actresses. Avoid this like the plague.
