A lot of fun and the best of the series

This is free to view on the director's YouTube Channel alongside the other three films Lovecraft related films.

I watched all three as they were released on Halloween online all at once and the running times aren't too long. You could comfortably watch the whole trilogy of films in one night. You don't need to watch them in any particular order either.

This one is the third and final film in this trilogy and is the most fun, and attempts to try and put all three films together and make them into some sort of sense.

This looks the best of three, the acting is the best and it's a pretty cool version of the Dunwich Horror - complete with huge creature roaming around the countryside.

I understand these were shot very inexpensively and very quickly - but they're a lot better than most zero budget horror films- they're trying harder than most. This one in particular has some really tight editing, great original music and a few funny scenes as well as a bit of gore.

Probably will be a cult film at some point in the future.

I'd be interested to see what the filmmakers do next. And kudos for giving the films away for free.
