The Gardners are feeling the ill effects of a meteor that lightning has destroyed, with weird lights haunting them, mutating crops and livestock, and sending each family member insane bit by bit. But in this particular film, there's an emotive slant, with just as much substance as there is style, as a family comes under an alien infection in Arkham, Massachusetts. Creatures from movies like The Dunwich Horror, Re-Animator, From Beyond and Castle Freak are prime examples, with the spectacle being a driving factor in how much they scare the audience. Lovecraft's monsters on the big screen usually are meant to intimidate, shock and add dread to your cinematic experience.
