H. P. Lovecraft was a morose, effective horror writer. His stories were / are filled with a thick, bleak atmosphere of encroaching shadows and ultimate doom. THE SHUNNED HOUSE takes three such tales -mostly their collective mood- and blends them together in a modern setting.
Fittingly, this all occurs in a crumbling old mansion.
Dueling realities clash, overlap, and bleed together as two investigators experience what lurks in this dark place. Are they simply losing their minds, or is something else going on?
This is a low-low-budget film, so don't expect multi-million dollar special effects. The story is pretty incoherent and disorienting, which actually adds to the overall sense of nightmare and gloom.
No, it's not a masterpiece. There are several slow spots and this can be tedious. However, It does capture the spirit of a good Lovecraft story, and that's worth at least a watch...
