My first impression is why did Jonathan Rhys Meyers agree to do this, he's a much better actor than this? But, here we are. It's a fairly decent plot--a little jumbled--but workable. I guess my biggest gripe is all the overacting. The characters are actually caricatures. It's a little painful to watch.

I don't know anything about the Lovecraft Mythos, so I'm a complete neophyte who just likes a decent creature feature. This film didn't disappoint. For such a low budget movie, they pulled off a pretty good effort. The acting is passable, the sets were convincing enough, and the plot was engaging. Not great, but you could do far worse.

As I'm watching this limited series, I am amazed at how Hollywood can find extraordinary stories and find the best actors to pull it off. If Mathew Macfayden does not receive some sort of award or at least a nomination for his acting, then awards mean nothing. This is a great watch--highly recommend it.
