Review: The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)
By William Pattison
For Horror Bob’s Blog
Based on the H. P. Lovecraft story of the same name, a
folklorist investigates reports of unusual creatures in Vermont only to uncover
more than he bargained for.
I’m a HUGE retro horror film fan. I loved House of the Wolfman and Frankenstein and the Creature
of Black Lake as well as The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera. This is actually my
second retro style HP Lovecraft film. The other was the retro silent film, The
Call of Cythulu. I have to say that black and white is the perfect format to
use for a Lovecraft story. This film captures that 50s style sci fi/horror
vibe. Even with the obvious CGI creatures this film still retains that retro
50s feel. The casting is perfection and the acting is just right. This film is
a brilliant homage to those old classics my generation watched shows like
Creature Features on Saturday nights. So, with all this said I have to say The Whisper in Darkness is AWESOMETACULAR!!!
You can find this film on Tubi TV…
