Literally one of worst hours of filmed "entertainment" I've ever seen. Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible directing, a nonsensical score to match the nonsensical plot. I've never seen such a randomly stitched together bunch of plot elements. Lacks any internal logic and follows no cause and effect, despite the writer seeming to believe it does. And, to be clear, none of this nonsense has anything to do with them trying to create a dreamlike narrative or something like that. It is just utter nonsense that can't be rationalized away by citing some kind of intent. They don't even have the tone right, with some parts apparently supposed to be humorous, including an idiotic opening and closing, while much of it apparently meant to be some kind of pulse pounding monster movie. This thing fails on every level and in every way. I rarely give anything one star - I've probably done it on three or four occasions out of thousands. This is simply terrible, and del Toro did his protege a disservice by not stepping in to offer guidance and try to help redeem some of this mess. (The fact that it bears absolutely no resemblance to anything Lovecraft is beside the point. I don't care if an adaptation is different from the source material as long as it's well done and at least uses some core ideas. Not in any way the case with this appallingly bad episode.)
