	* [[User:Ywhateley\|Y.Whateley]]: A fairly faithful adaptation of Lovecraft's ''[[The Shadow Over Innsmouth (fiction)]]'', aside from an update to the modern era, relocation to Spain, and the addition of enough throw-away characters for some slasher/splatter elements to be added (in many ways, it's a Southern Gothic horror/slasher film, similar to ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', transplanted to Spain). It's not especially kid-friendly, loaded with gory violence, as well as seasoned with brief nudity and adult content that was never present in the original story. Still, the film-makers managed to nail the paranoid atmosphere of a creepy, decaying town full of monsters lurking in the shadows nicely: the film's "Imboca" (Innsmouth) is perhaps one of the grossest, slimiest, most run-down villages to have ever been put to film.		* [[User:Ywhateley\|Y.Whateley]] - A fairly faithful adaptation of Lovecraft's ''[[The Shadow Over Innsmouth (fiction)]]'', aside from an update to the modern era, relocation to Spain, and the addition of enough throw-away characters for some slasher/splatter elements to be added (in many ways, it's a Southern Gothic horror/slasher film, similar to ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', transplanted to Spain).
