In Search of Lovecraft

The film is told through the perspective of Rebecca Marsh (Renee Sweet) a young reporter, dissatisfied with the boredom of her current occupation, who is sent to conduct a special Halloween program dedicated to H.P. Lovecraft, renowned horror writer, and worldbuilder. In her search, she discovers that not everyone believes his works are fiction, but instead that they are derived from prophetic dreams. These dreams provide insight into a superconscious resource, the akashic records, providing knowledge beyond his own experience.^[4] Rebecca's personality is initially skeptical, however, she and her assistant, Amber (Denise Amrikhas), find their beliefs are challenged when their lives are in danger. They discover that the various creatures, societies, and gods featured in Lovecraft's short stories do exist, and are now actively pursuing the two of them.

Rebecca and her crew enlist the help of an expert in the occult, Dr.D’Souza, who guides them as their discoveries lead the cult to mobilize against them. Eventually, as the cult becomes more active, D’Souza deems it necessary to call for the help of a witch, Keja. Both Dr.D’Souza and Keja assist them in fighting the forces of evil, who begin to pick off the crew one by one.

The cult are revealed to be minions of the Dark God Nyarlathotep, and are attempting to summon him into the real world. To defeat Nyarlathotep, Rebecca must discover the secret of The Haunter Of The Dark and obtain the Sacred Black Stone.^[5] By the end of the film, Rebecca is the sole survivor and her experience leaves her in an asylum.^[6]
