Jared Skolnick's Erich Zann

A full version of Jared Skolnick's film, "The Music of Erich Zann," has been uploaded through Vimeo. As most anyone can see by watching the two clips posted below, the movie lives up to the positive feedback it has received in recent months. It's a powerful cinematic distillation of H.P. Lovecraft's strange story, a piece wholly infested with the numinous. In "Erich Zann," there isn't a name like "Cthulhu" or "Yog-Sothoth" that can be attributed to the sanity wrecking malevolence at work on the Rue d'Auseil. There is only unknowable terror.

Fortunately, Skolnick has meticulously preserved this spirit, which may be Lovecraft's ultimate expression of indifferent and unintelligible cosmic horror.
