Considering the reviews that have already been posted for this movie, it's one that you'll either love or hate. I thought the Lovecraftian atmosphere in this movie to be sublime. I loved the time transitions, such as when a mathematician sets a chess piece down on the table, and it disappears to end up in the present. The movie is full of mysteries too. For example, the enigmatic voice whispers to the mathematician, "Zero is the infinity," and lo and behold, they eventually reveal this secret to the audience, and I found it's Lovecraftian significance quite fascinating. Let me give you a hint to this riddle: the house is a place where every time someone is murdered, you open a door in time. And there have been a lot of murders throughout time...
The movie is rich with ambient lighting and sound effects, and I most especially enjoyed the haunting soundtrack, particularly the repetitive piece which sounds like a distant opera being played back backwards, which still filters through my memory. Many would argue that a lot of the movie doesn't make sense, but, hey, this is Lovecraft were talking about. If the mythos starts making sense, you're definitely going insane (by human standards anyway).
