This is just awful.
It's almost as if the writer had heard particulars of several Lovecraft stories, but didn't read them and didn't understand the basic concepts of his particular type of horror.
While this one isn't a meandering mess of plot holes, such as Dagon is, the Lovecraftian elements feel like they've been welded onto a preexisting plot that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Full Moon has a number of Lovecraft adaptations that are fun, if not exactly true to either the story or atmosphere of the originals. This, unfortunately, isn't one of them. Skip this one and watch Reanimator again. Or even Castle Freak. Both of which have at least something of a Lovecraftian feel to them.
