By way of Lovecraft

I have no idea what Neil Marshall means when he says this about his new wild west horror movie:

"This is 'Unforgiven' by way of H.P. Lovecraft, with that grim, gritty setting and a horror element nobody has seen before."

A grizzled cowboy tracks down a tentacled rapist? There's a lot of that going 'round lately, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Still, I did like Dog Soldiers and Descent, so he seems to know what he's doing. And given how poorly the Mythos has translated to film, he may very well be right about Lovecraft being a 'horror element nobody has seen before'.
