Lovecraft "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. This spoken quote starts off what I think is a competent documentary on the life and influence of H.P. The documentary starts out as a chronological biography interspersed with a liberal amount of spoken quotes of HPL. Also, there are interviews with Stuart Gordon, amateur filmmakers, fans, and role playing groups. On the whole, I think the documentary is successful because, after watching it, I wanted to return to the fiction of Lovecraft.
