This short film is based on the H.P. Lovecraft story of the same name. It follows the plot very closely so I will not be summarizing it here. The film effectively creates a spooky atmosphere as the narrator describes his tale: from discovering a boarding house that he will later never find again to to strange life led by his neighbor, Erich Zann. What the film fails to deliver is a compelling depiction of the other world views witnessed by the narrator prior to his final departure from the boarding house. If you are a big fan of the short story then I'd suggest that you check this film out but it is likely not noteworthy enough to seek out for most.
