3/10
I wanted to love it...
29 October 2020
Pros: The music/soundtrack for the film is fantastic. I love how they incorporated old recordings of civil rights leaders into the soundtrack. Very effective.

The acting is really good for the most part.

The production design and cinematography are pretty great.

Cons: The show is a mess. Tries to do too many things. It's clunky, and deeply corny at times.

Far too much exposition. The writing is incredibly trite. It has an air of self-importance that the writing and directing never quite live up to.

The CGI is very amateur.

Overall, Lovecraft was deeply disappointing. It was incredibly obvious and beats you over the head with its message. It tries to incorporate far too many sci-fi/fantasy/horror elements. The whole thing is a disappointing mess. I'm not sure how the script made it past the development stage.
