Quote: Sam, an aspiring writer, recently took a job at a small local market. His new boss is a retired doctor with a peculiar skin disease that forces him to maintain a lower-than-normal body temperature at all times. Sam is about to find out just how freakish and unreal the said disease is when he uncovers that the doctor has in fact been dead for some time. Not only is his boss the walking-dead, he's also been holding victims captive in his hidden climate controlled environment in order to preserve and prepare their skin for removal and manipulation to benefit his partial-existence in the physical world.

Good enough of them to say "INSPIRED by," and the actual story, as opposed to something like, "Based on the Works of." It really is a shame how far some people take things and then throw in a few references to Lovecraft to make it seem legit (I'm looking at you, Stuart F***ing Gordon.) And who knows? Maybe this'll be decent...unlike other films (Gordon...please stand up.)

Are you kidding? From Beyond, The Re-Animator, and Dagon are more or less the only successful Lovecraft adaptations in the world. Have you even read Herbert West Re-Animator? The only big difference is that Gordon cut the blatant racism. Carpenter did alright with his Lovecraft inspired In the Mouth of Madness, and Del Toro has had some pitch perfect imagery in his Hellboy movies, but everyone else seems to not understand the idea of adaptation.

What about the silent film, "Call of Cthulhu"? That is a darn good adaptation.
At least Gordon didn't toss out c**p like "The Haunted Palace" or "The Curse" from 1987 (starring Ensign Wesley Crusher in a role that won't surprise you).
