Audience Member i see lovecraft and i add an extra three stars. The acting, script, and camera-work are pretty good for a student film. I think this film had an actual budget though, so be forewarned that is actually a one star movie at best Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not very often a movie starts out with so much promise and crashes so badly. In Search of Lovecraft fails where most Lovecraft movies fail, in the portrayal of the Old Ones. They even say that just seeing them will drive a person utterly insane because they are indescribable...yet in this, they are just boring nonsense. Aside from that (which admittedly all Lovecraft based movies suffer from) this starts off great. A really interesting old movie setting the stage, then meeting the main characters trying to make a documentary about the reality of Lovecraft's mythos. Then the witch shows up, the doors get stupid and sigh... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Aside from a decent jump ending and a hot witch, this movie really does not having much to offer. Cheese-wise the film is so horrible its great. the film lacks an idea of what it is trying to be with linear found footage style shooting, only for the movie to decide "fuck it" and shoot in a more standard style. Coupled with some wonderfully cheesy acting, bad editing, an alleged plot and a hot witch who take WAY too long to a complete a channeling sequence, the movie is good for a couple beers with friends. would not recommend to hardcore lovecraft fans. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Seriously, when you think Low Budget Horror, you think of Blair Witch, but this movie is as low budget as you can get. I really don't think they had a script for this one, I think it was totally improvised, and the conversations are awkward and forced. The poster does not tell you how badly shot this film is, it gives you hope but this movie is just one of those movies that is just hard to watch. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a terrible mess of a movie. Not one ounce of acting skill was present in this B-movie. Not interesting and certainly not scary. The cover states that it won some movie award. I can't even imagine what the others contenders were. Save your time and skip this. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member a painfully, painfully crappy film. Being a Lovecraft nerd I will admit, I was enticed and wanted to follow the film to its conclusion. I had to sit through 90 minutes of terrible characters, bad acting, forced dialog, bad direction and film that was WAY too indecisive in identity itself as a found footage film or a normal film. Somewhere the creators to decide: 'eh fuck it' and create a bastardized hybrid. I know its a b-movie based on Lovecraft, but I have seen Lovecraftian B-movies handled more professionally and directed with more care and forethought. It felt to me that the writer of this film was reading on a little Lovecraft just to have enough material to tie in the story with the title; "Searching for Lovecraft" merely to bank on the name; 'Lovecraft.' hell, i was dumb enough to waste my time over that. the only reason I am not going lower with this rating is that the ending, though tacked on, was an actually a legit scary moment (though it was the only one) and the witch was hot.
