So did haters also consider Lovecraft to be 'boring'?

Its a very good and very subtle movie. IMDB boards are full of whiny children that love to troll and complain. Theres a difference between respectfully reasoning why you didn't like a film and throwing a sissy fit of insults.

Thank you! I couldn't agree more! There is more to critiquing a film than just saying "it sucks". I realize not everyone has the best writing skills, myself included, but come on people, at least TRY to expand on why you think somethings sucks.

If you want to see a good recent horror film (with a similarly low-budget) which has Lovecraftian elements, check out The Borderlands from last year. Absentia isn't bad because of the themes it deals with, it's bad because it's appallingly amateurish and the (actually quite large) budget has nothing to do with that, it has to do with incompetent filmmaking.

It's awesome seeing such low budget movies be more impactful than big budget jump scare fests
Yeah, that's usually been the case with some horror filmsthe little unknown low-budget horror flicks influencing (and being ripped off sometimes) by the bigger budgeted ones that get more hype. I love well-made low budgets films on any genre. I came here mainly because I just recently saw a good horror film called HUSH, looked up the director's work to see what else he'd done, and this film sounds interesting from all the descriptions I've read so far. I also used to be into Lovecraft stories back in the day, so all these comparisons of the film to his stories definitely make it sound even more interestingenough for me to want to check it out.
