As a gay person, I'm not sure if this is simple pandering, if it's a case of pandering and copy-cat production, or something worse. What I do know for sure is it contains nothing that elevates Lovecraft lore or the the broader sci-fi genre and therefore is interloping at best, at worst this could be part of the broader attempt at destroying any works made prior to modern liberal social constructs. The latter is what this seems to be attempting with its use of two typical villains; parents and religion. Adding gay characters isn't bad in-and-of itself, we are after all members of society. It becomes toxic if the only reason we are written in is to be a gay character, as if that is all we are, to shove us in the forefront simply to upset people, or to make up for some perceived past harm done to us. If we are going to be taken seriously we need to behave seriously, not go rewriting ourselves inappropriately into past stories but write ourselves into a fresh, new future as productive, serious members of society. So far we aren't doing so well at this, Star Trek Discovery and Star Wars Acolyte are two examples where our inclusion was done so badly it harmed not only those franchises but our acceptance in general. We can and should do better, for ourselves, society at-large, sci-fi, and the future.

The door opening at 8: 43 feels like og Stranger Things, so strong! I want to say the feeling was nostalgic but that series is only 8 years old. Idk it just scratched the right part of my brain. And the boy scouts hand shake arm grab at 10: 17 with the musical score and purple galaxy felt very Marvel, in a good way! And that Monk with the mustache! I mean can we get Monk Of The Year going at the Oscars! The acting, the chuckling, the way he took that elbow to the ribs, he did his own stunts too! And the way he floated in space, I mean I don't think Sandra Bullock even floated that well.

As a small scale production on a ham sandwich budget, this was okay. It was funny how they kept getting annoyed at her cussing. Like, what does that matter in the grand scheme of things You’ve got a cosmic horror in your wardrobe! What Will it melt if I do a rendition of George Carlson’s words you can’t say on TV

If you can get through the first like 3min of kinda forced dialog, the rest is freaking gold, almost every line is a gem, science juice, aspiring ghost whisperer, etc. Can't believe I almost turned it off in the opening car ride.

Thanks. A great horror comedy. Cast were superb. I really liked the nods to the great H. P, and not forgetting Cthulu. Laughed out loud when she gets wrong for swearing as she's about to be sacrificed.

I love SciFy. Even SciFy with Gay protagonists. Even Funny SciFy with Gay Protagonists. This was just silly, Halloween stuff overloaded with candy corn. Not even funny. Better luck next time.

what a great dive into family issues with rigid characters yet showing how relief can be achieved by letting things out of your control go once you’ve had help from someone who loves you

Same thing happened to me, but the guy in the closet wasn't an omni-dimensional being. He was just some guy named Rodney.
