I haven't seen it, but one could argue the novella suffers the same  
flaw. Well, *most* of Lovecraft does.  The reveal is much less scary  
than the build-up, most of the time.  There are of course exceptions.   
"The Color Out of Space" and "The Dreams In the Witch-House" are two  
exceptions that leap to *my* mind.
