Viewing Notes

An ambitious low-budget Horror/Comedy, THE LAST LOVECRAFT is funny, witty and a blast of a midnight movie. Sharp dialogue, great practical effects and fun characters give this flick legs.

CGI suffers and is the weakest part of the movie. I wish the filmmakers would have opted for full practical effects and no CGI. I suppose practical tentacles would have been tricky.

This is a fun little movie. Recommended for the Midnight Movie crowd.
