Anyone else seen this movie? Saw it on a recommended list of HPL influenced films, watched it last night and enjoyed it. Definitely had King in Yellow tones for me. My wife said "oh no, not another zombie movie" then sat and watched the whole thing      Not a perfect film, but a good attempt at something a little different

Have watched and quite enjoyed. Tried the book but never finished that (the book seems to be fairly different than the movie). Still plan on trying again, maybe soon.

I'm not sure if this counts as spoilers, but just case someone hasn't seen it, and it does, I'll warm up the spoiler alert engine (how about ROT13? I still use it, but I have a feeling it is because I am old and my beard has white in it...)

My curiosity/complaint about the thing really comes down to how they handled the infected meme/word concept. I think I would have preferred there to have been some key infected bit, a series of words or ideas, that spread that disease (that, yes, could have mutated over time)...and then it could have potentially have been even more King in Yellowish as it spreads.
