There are also images of a strange, carved black stone that his father found in the woods and brought back to his house.Įnticed, Wilmark continues corresponding with Akeley.

It is a fun and chilling movie that will hold up to repeated viewings.īased on the 1931 short story of the same name, The Whisperer in Darkness is the story of a quite instructor at Miskatonic University in Arkham Massachusetts, Albert Wilmarth (Matt Foyer ). Not the feel you get when you watch one now (and don't get me wrong, many of those old Universal horror films are still great even today) but this movie recreates what it was like to see one of those old creature-feature flicks back when you were 10-years old. Filmed in glorious black and white, this latest adaptation of a Lovecraft story has the feel of a 1930's early talky horror film.
