The casting and directing seemed straight from some community theatre, or High School level acting school. There was little or no attempt at subtlety, nor continuity. The acting was hyper melodramatic. The editing and scenes were choppy and awkward. It seems a sad attempt to capture Lovecraftian popularity, by very amateur filmmakers. This seems sadly what streaming services are now stocking their shelves with.

Lovecraft had such a delightfully rich way of describing the horror in his imagination, it is sad to see it butchered so. I recall being enraptured by an English Teacher reading to us from "Rats in the Walls"

I find it VERY annoying when Sci Fi, Action/Adventure, Horror script writers overuse "Are you O. K."? WHEN it is very obvious that the person/situation definitely is not. These writers must have worn out the "O", and "K" keys on their keyboards! During the dramatic scenes it was repeated incessantly. :( Pretty standard suspense, action, horror, where at least most of the acting overcomes the pedantic script writing, and frustration that the 'townsfolk' couldn't explain earlier what the REAL issue was to the 'newcomers'.
