    Bravo. Best Lovecraftian film I've seen in quite awhile. The portrayal of slow madness really had me guessing if it was the crew...or the main character that was losing touch. The shoggoth towards the end looked fantastic and just as I imagined them...the eyes appearing and reabsorbing was fantastic. Again well done. I would be remiss if I did not also give a huge shout out to the actors in this project. Your commitment to the moment was true artistry, kudos.

    The thing we saw in the end was Ubbo Sathla - a being created by HPLs Pen Pal Clark Ashton Smith. Ubbo Sathla is said to be the first thing arising in the earliest stages of earths development, and it is the source of all life on this planet. The Elder Things, once they arrived on earth, might have used DNA or other samples of that being to create the Shoggoths, and most possibly even all other life on earth. Ubbo Sathla is said to dwell in an arctic cave, deep below the earth, continuously spawning and devouring creatures from its own shapeless body.

My jaw dropped when the monster hit the glass and the fish eyes were appearing and pressing against the surface. Normally I don't like seeing the monster but you guys did it so well that it added to the experience rather than took me out of it, which is better than I can say for 99% of the crap that Hollywood generates. Bravo!!

Myself and everyone on this planet needs much more of this. You win my personal award, which I call The Golden Bloodborne.

    'At the Mountains of Madness' is among my favorites when it comes to the works of H.P Lovecraft which this film seems mostly inspired by as well as 'The Call of Cthulhu' to a degree. Capturing cosmic horror in a live action movie is very tricky but for a short film this was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the scene where the main character sees or thinks he sees a structure of some kind on the iceberg in the distance, making us the viewer question what's real or not.

It was bold indeed to show the thing in the way that it was shown, most filmmakers I think would shy away from depicting an elder god visually simply because of the difficulty inherent in creating an image that does the concept justice. But quite honestly, you took a risk and it bloody well worked.

    I'm very impressed. One of the best I've seen. This film has atmosphere in spades, and the creature was surprisingly well done. I'm not usually a huge fan of monsters that are all slime and tentacles and eyes, but It feels so *present* , like it's really *looking* at you.

    THIS NEEDS A LONGER VERSION. IT IS PERFECT!! We should let our minds run more and more into the lovecraftian world, the cosmic horror is something we should explore deeper, the way this movie adapts the unknown is brilliant. The filme is amazing on it's own short version, but I really need to experience a full 100 minutes version of this.

    The centre of this story is our sense of horror towards the strange, especially when encountering something that is potentially greater than us. In this, I think this story delivers that sensation. I don't want to give anything away, in case people may read this before they watch the video, but there is a glut of short films like this, attempting to capitalise on the ongoing interest in Lovecraft and the genre he inspired; yet this film handles what it displays with a good level of reserve in 'holding back' revealing everything. There is a nice sense of horrors only half-glimpsed. Consider how effective the alien's appearance is in the original film 'Alien'; it's power is mostly in the fact that it is only seen briefly, and often in only half-light. Perhaps a bit too much is shown in this, but I think the audience desires a certain pay-off, and I think that balance is handled well. It feels like quite a bit of money went into the creation of this. On another level, it held my attention and interest more than a lot of things do on television now. The acting of some of the characters brings it back to a level that one might call 'amateur', but it didn't really effect my enjoyment. A couple of the actors are actually very expressive and convincing. I will be recommending this to some friends.

    Well done bravo, I actually enjoyed this more than most of the huge corporate garbage we get these days. I like the fact that rather than concentrating on the woke and virtu-signalling and gas lighting it just concentrates on the story and the the build in intensity until the beast with a million eyes is released. It really builds that feeling that something is very wrong indeed and that it’s already watching you louring you in and that science is so focused on the reward it fails to see the danger which is a common thing these days and then it’s too late the damage is done. It really is a one of the better movie shorts out there and I hope they make more. I hope this movie short feeds millions of hungry eyes in return and it goes viral.

    Strange folk, those living up in northernmost climes, who've seen strange things and have strange folklore. More, initially, were reluctant to travel further and that has to tell you something. One, supported by his student, carried the day. That was the point when my heart sank. A tale of absolute terror recounted in the old school style...the best type, where the thumbscrew is steady tightened, ratcheting up the tension to an unbearable level with no need of jumpscares, the mind, traitorous thing that it is, dragging the viewer further down into the horror...towards Chthulu. High praise, earned and deserved, to everyone involved with this work. You did a fantastic job! Thanks for the upload and definitely one for my collection.

    Wow. Excellent. Really well done. Glad I found this! For those of you who dig H.P. Lovecraft stories, movies based upon them, films adapting or influenced by them, or anything along those lines, I discovered this little gem on KZread. I've been scouring KZread for quite some time and viewing Lovecraftian films (mostly short, independent, and bad) and found a few out of scores, that piqued my interest. This is certainly at the top of the list. It's a bit of a slow burn, but the acting is good, the production values are high, and overall experience is rewarded by the end. Very VERY well done. Check it out, you'll be glad you donated those 30 minutes.

    This was really nicely done! I think when the entity began to board the ship it was one of the best visual representations of Nyarlathotep in his incarnation as the Crawling Chaos that I've seen to date. In his incarnation as "an Egyptian of the old native blood" I'm partial to Imhotep in the 1999 "The Mummy", but this fits the later versions better. Thanks for an excellent film!
