Anyone seen it? I saw it this morning and I thought it was great. I was a bit sceptical at first (Who the heck is making silent black and white movies nowadays?) But it really suprised me, it was well made and the "special" effects were great for the atmosphere.

Is it scary? I've never even heard of it.

No it wasn't scary at all, but it was entertaining though. Atleast as far as silent films go, but it had a good atmosphere.

I found something about it in some forums a while ago there wasn't too much PR for the movie I think.

Worth to watch if you like HP Lovecraft or Cthulhu.

Meh, your attitude towards black and white film and silent films is pretty detestable.

Without witnessing it, I can say that a silent film in grainy black and white is a suitable motor for the storyline, as it's mostly told as a flashback.

Even still, I'm gonna skip it, unless it happens to be on Sci - Fi late at nite (which it may be, except that a silent film wouldn't dare rear it's head on such a channel.)
