Aaron Vanek tackles a huge story and succeeds admirably. His choice of period setting, subtle make-up F/X, and haunting score are all wonderful. The acting, especially by the two leads is great.While in many respects not as successful as his follow up, The Yellow Sign, this is a real monster of a film. Very few indie directors would think of trying to adapt Lovecraft's "Shadow Over Innsmouth", but Aaron accepts the challenge and uses an approach that keeps the tension high throughout the film.There are at least two more adaptations of this story available to rent (Stuart Gordon's Dagon (2002) being the best known), but there is a quality to Aaron's that makes his the superior version. I say buy it and see for yourself!
