xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


The Whisperer in Darkness is a 2011 independent
film based on the H. P. Lovecraft short story of
the same name, directed and produced by Sean
Branney, Andrew Leman, and David Robertson and
distributed by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical
Society. It was shot using Mythoscope, a blend
of vintage and modern filming techniques intended
to produce the look of a 1930s-era film. According
to the film's website, the filmmakers intended to
capture the look of "classic horror films of the
1930s like Dracula, Frankenstein and King Kong".

From a dramatic standpoint, Lovecraft's story
brought the writers through what would be "Act Two"
of a standard movie structure and felt incomplete.
The character of Hannah and opening of gate to
Yuggoth were introduced in order to "[make it] a
good movie". Branney and Leman intended to make
Wilmarth's world "more emotionally complicated"
because Hannah's future caused him to be "invested
in more than just himself". The characters of
Wilmarth's three friends at Miskatonic University
were developed from Call of Cthulhu role-playing
characters created years before by Branney, Leman,
and a friend. Regarding the introduction of a biplane,
Leman commented, "If you have monsters that fly, you
have to have a dogfight with a biplane."

STORY:

In 1931 H.P. Lovecraft wrote his classic tale
of alien horror, "The Whisperer in Darkness".
For the first two acts, the plot follows the
short story. In the third act, the protagonist,
Wilmarth, uncovers an attempt by cultists to
open a gateway between Yuggoth and Earth. He
foils the plot with the help of Hannah, the
child of one of the collaborators. His escape
is unsuccessful and at the end of the film the
audience discovers that Wilmarth has been
narrating from a machine attached to the cylinder
in which his brain now resides. This differs from
the original story in which Wilmarth flees in the
middle of the night and safely returns to Arkham.
