Did you see The Whisperer in Darkness? I must know!
I did see Whisperer! I thought it was quite good. Whisperer is not one of my favorite stories (I think the protagonist is a bit too dense) but the movie is now one of my favorite adaptations. The movie expands on the story (as it had to in order to make a full length film) but, for the most part the additions made sense. Any complaints I’ve got are related to the predictability of the plot and, really, I’ve read all of Lovecraft and illustrated lots of CoC scenarios so, unless the filmmakers had taken some serious liberties with material, it would have been hard to surprise me.
Also featured was Die Farbe, an adaptation of The Colour Out of Space set it pre-WW2 Germany. Also very good.
