I'm rather curious: would you care to expand on that one? While I would agree the film has some grave flaws, I felt it handled several of the concepts quite well, and Carpenter's homage to HPL was done more imginatively than I would have expected (for the most part -- occasionally it got a bit heavy-handed).

So... would you be willing to explain what it was about the film that caused that reaction?
