Storyline
Out of Mind casts an entertaining eye on the work of American writer H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), one of the early 20th century's masters of gothic-horror literature. The film offers an encounter with Lovecraft and enters into his world. Engaging in a kind of game around the writer, the film playfully winks at some of the themes characteristic of his work: the occult, cursed books, monstrous creatures. Out of Mind draws its inspiration from Lovecraft's personal correspondence and many of his stories, carrying the viewer through a labyrinth "beyond the wall of sleep."

Unfortunately, this documentary isn't all that well known. Truly a pity, because Raymond St-Jean as Director & scriptwriter shines, Serge Ladouceur's photography in the film is fantastic, & Christopher Heyerdahl as H.P. Lovecraft is *very* believable.
The film attempts to show the relationship of American gothic-horror writer,
H.P. Lovecraft, and the stories he wrote. Blending the most characteristic themes & characters [watch out for Cthullu!] from his novels/stories with his life, a whole new story is created in of itself. It almost seems written by Lovecraft himself.
I saw this movie in 1998 in Montreal at a friend's house, & have been trying to get a hold of it since! If you come across it, get it! [then email me & tell me where you found it, for I want it too]
