Lovecraft goes metrosexual. I remember seeing stuff on this film as far back as 2003 when it was little more than a teaser and still searching for financing. The clips I saw back then emphasized the sex angle and, therefore, I assumed that they were using that aspect as a diversion for a paucity of imagination and a prohibitively low budget.
