''HP Lovecraft's The Tomb'' is a 2007 United States production horror film that is supposedly based on H.P. Lovecraft's 1917 story, "The Tomb". However, many reviewers have noted that the plot of this film is completely unrelated to the Lovecraft short story.〔(H.P. Lovecraft’s The Tomb reviewed by Steve Anderson )〕〔(Dread Central review )〕〔(DVD Verdict review )〕 The film in fact has no single element whatsoever in common with the short story, save for the title. The film is often compared to the 2004 movie, ''Saw'', going as far as having that series mentioned on the box art. The film is also known simply as ''The Tomb'', but the title on the DVD case is ''HP Lovecraft's The Tomb''. However, on the film itself the title is "H.P. Lovecraft () The Tomb" with no apostrophe + s. The movie was directed by Ulli Lommel. ==Plot== Tara (Victoria Ullmann) and Billy (Christian Behm) awake in a dark basement or warehouse, bloodied and covered with wounds. As they explore the empty surroundings, they find other wounded people who die in horrible ways at the hands of "The Puppetmaster," a sinister villain who plays a deadly game with them in which there will be only one survivor. H.P. Lovecraft is mentioned several times during the course of the film by some characters, and the 'Puppetmaster' is referred to as 'Charles Dexter Ward' and one of his victims as 'Pickman' (a reference to Lovecraft's story Pickman's Model). However these passing references to Lovecraftian characters (and a quote from one of Lovecraft's stories about going "beyond ye spheres") are largely irrelevant to the serial killer plot played out on screen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Tomb (2007 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
