A young couple rent an Airbnb near the beach and soon find themselves plunged into a world of the supernatural cult and their strange sea god.
The film moves along at a great pace, but there really isn't much horror in the Lovecraft mold. The neighbors of the couple are very strange and use a drug to seduce the young man, while his wife begins to suspect something is VERY wrong.
The sea god is Cthulhu from what I can make out, but it gets so muddled one really can't tell. I only reconised two people in the cast and they are Nicolas Coster (who also produced) and Kelli Maroney in a somewhat wasted role as a mother looking for her lost daughter while spouting dire warnings to the couple.
Lovecraft's work is very hard to bring to the screen, and while I admire those who try, I just can't help but feeling that his work will never be done properly.
If you're a die hard Lovecraft fan you will probably want to check this out, but it is a disappointment for horror fans in general.
