H.P. Lovecraft's "The Picture in the House" Short

This black and white short film captures the atmosphere of H.P. Lovecraft tale "The Picture in the House" very effectively. The movie evidently screened at last year's H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland. In my opinion, it exemplifies the rising trend of decent amateur Lovecraft productions that have appeared lately. The better films seem to be those which cling to the script (i.e. Lovecraft's original prose)--avoiding the dreadful mistakes of previous attempts that tried to incorporate overly modern, adventurous, or otherwise divergent effects.
