Return to Innsmouth (1999) dir. Aaron Vanek, Some Company/Beyond Books
Moving back to a proper adaptation, we see a quant jaunt through a picturesque New England town.
Robert Olmstead (Ezra Hubbard) is a student looking for background on his family. Heading into the remote village of Innsmouth, which isn't noted on any maps, he hopes to find some info on his family. What he finds is horror beyond imagination...
Short but good. The Innsmouth look, as described by Lovecraft, can be tricky to pull off but Vanek pulls it off with subtlety (a rare thing with some of these stories).
