Lovecraft In December #29: Out of Mind


Out of Mind is a very interesting short film.

IMDB's very short overview is as follows:

"Haunted by dark dreams of an inherited book, the Necronomicon, a young man becomes intrigued by the writings of H. P. Lovecraft."

And that's exactly what happens. Though it's a strange mix of characters becoming other characters and actors becoming new characters at the drop of a hat and time jumps and skips.

I like it a lot though. The best part being Christopher Heyerdahl's incredible portrayal of Lovecraft himself and what he might have acted/sounded like.

The other shorts include John Strysik's Music of Erich Zann from 1980, which is a fantastic adaptation.

And Aaron Vanek's The Outsider and My Necronomicon and they're alright. They don't stick with me as much as the others do.
