Christopher R. Smith's rating of the film Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown
Christopher R. Smith

A solid biographical documentary with worthy commentators providing compelling insight into both Lovecraft's life and writing, while not shying away from the shortcomings of either. There are a lot of really cheesy Lovecraft documentaries out there, but fans should really seek this one out.

FREAKING AWESOME. Even if you don't know Lovecraft, its an amazing documentary. Made me understand a lot ot Del Toro's choices and ideas.

Nice to see Gaiman coming off as less of a tw*t in this as he was in Eldritch Horror.
