Maléfique

Should be a primer on how to make a solid Lovecraftian movie. The elements and tropes borrowed from H.P.'s work are numerous, and the building tension is effective at bringing people unfamiliar with Lovecraft into that bizarre world. Suffers a little from straight exposition, but it's hard not to when the whole film is in a jail cell. The denouement is a tad too long, losing the significant punch it's supposed to have. All-in-all, a very good, unsettling, and effective spin on horror.

Boring; no horror.

Meh.

it's like lovecraft weird tales.

Very original with good characterization and some very disturbing imagery. The build-up is generally good throughout, but the ending left me unsatisfied.
