they decided to visualize Wilbur's twin by apparently setting the camera to "psychadelic" and shaking a hank of multicoloured yarn at it. Never. I see it in my dreams sometimes, and wake up laughing.
I actually found it very effective in the scene where it attacks and kills Nancy's classmate; it was one of two instances where I thought the cinematography was doing something interesting (the other being the amazing wide-angle shot of Wilbur at his grandfather's funeral) as opposed to trying too hard (every single one of Nancy's dream sequences). When it vanishes in a puff of smoke over the altar, not so much.
I wish they'd move faster with those adaptations, but I get that the total lack of funding and time probably interferes.
Their visual effects coordinator, Dan Novy, was present to answer questions on Friday; he said The Call of Cthulhu took about two years (a year for shooting, a year for post) and The Whisperer in Darkness about twice that long. I'd love to know what they're doing next, and whether they plan to continue the conceit of adapting the stories for the year they were published or whether they'll keep moving forward in time. They have a really good company. The Thing from Another World makes me think a 1951 At the Mountains of Madness would be amazing.
