I like this more than any other Lovecraft story brought to film yet. Matter of fact I like it just fine. Crazy good tension, crazy good grasp on my attention - like an iron grip. I couldn't look away. The lovely dark b&w look served nicely to darken the mood mightily and also to set off the color out of space dramatically. I do have feelings about the color, though. I would have liked to see something a little more exotic. Are we to believe that Bavarian yokels never heard of purple before? Could be. To quote my dearly departed daddy, could be. My only other beef is with the epilogue. Those Lovecraftian stories always have a logue, whether pro or epi, that seems to me to serve no purpose but to date the story - what?
