Strange Aeons - 2005 - 4/10

Anthropology professor (at Miskatonic U), watches helplessly as unsettling new student, Asenath Waite, seduces and weds his assistant.
There are gates to be opened, Shuggoths to be unleashed! And she needs a thick headed male helpmate.
Horror film is fairly faithful to HPL’s “The Thing On The Doorstep.”
Script tries to juice proceedings with nudity and coupling, but dawdles throughout.
Directing is indifferent, acting mannered, sets remind one of cheap sheets hotel.

I noted the low IMDB rating beforehand, yet watched nevertheless.
Fools clutch their hopes.
Actually, with that title, I wondered if this might be based on Robert Bloch’s “Strange Eons.”
Not to be, though that novel, its plot stuffed with references to HPL himself and his Mythos, and would make an excellent intro to that world.
This one, however, is another missed Mythos dud.
