Synopsis: In the nineteenth century, a couple of false spiritualism uses sessions to raise money to care for orphans, which attracts curses that still remain.
Initial Impression: As an adaptation of the Lovecraft universe is half.
Script and Development: The film begins in the present (well, 2008), with a woman who comes to inventory a mysterious mansion abandoned for over a hundred years ... something bad happens, and 20 minutes, finally the real movie begins, a story about a couple in the nineteenth century ... which is not really nothing happens for about 40 minutes until you see nothing more and nothing less than Aleister Crowley to put a bit of supernatural elements to it in its last third.
And what happened to all that happened in 2008? Ah yes! The film ends with a trailer of his own sequel, due out this year, and attention to those images, because we see the monster they faced in this sequel, and is something we've always wanted to see.
However, the film seemed to me entirely satisfactory. For starters, a long parade to be inspired by the world of HP Lovecraft, but the stories the author certainly go far more than seen here, whose greatest exponent the universe is a simple eater which we see in shadows at the beginning and just see it in the final minutes. The dialogue is too exaggerated, all conversations in Crowley involved are overly elaborate, but worthy of a role playing game with Vamp-losers pseudo-satanic pretensions of poets (my friends will understand me), the few scares that there are too generic and there are "special appearances" of historical figures who honestly made me wonder if the film was taking itself seriously or not.
In any case it is entertaining, but lacks enough pace to be more a drama about a couple that a supernatural tale ... cutting off about 20 minutes of unnecessary dialogs have been much better.
management and technical aspects: If anything highlights this film is carefully prepared in its production. Scenarios, makeup and special effects are perfect. Even his intro, accompanied by great music is quite memorable.
Actions: are acceptable ... I think. The man who plays Crowley is a special case, with dialogue so overreacted and exaggerated (and that note has fun with the role) that is even fun.
Paul Naschy special mention in the last film in which I participate before he died.
Insight: Did you Aleister Crowley tops my list of "Famous People that I should kill when you have a time machine? As I hate Marilyn Manson was the nineteenth century.

- The Good: Excellent technical bill. I shall see the sequel just to see Cthulhu SPOILER END OF SPOILER
- Bad: There are many lengthy dialogue sequences that have no effect on the plot.
- Ugly: LOL, Lizzie Borden.
RATING: 6 / 10
