I posted a review of Whisperer not long ago, to minimal comment. My
copy of Die Farbe just came in recently so now I'll watch it; I had t
finish Troll Hunter first.

LOL! Did you enjoy "Troll Hunter"? I thought it was great.

Actually I thought it was a big disappointment. I am pretty tied of
the faux documentary with young unknowns (a la Blair Witch or
Cloverfield). The premise was OK but the execution left me flat.

Really? I'm a bit over the faux doc, too, but I thought the story was fun enough, and offbeat enough, to overlook that aspect. And the effects were frickin' incredible. I found them completely believable.

The second WAS good, but heavily disappointed me because it was "unfaithful" to the story (but no more than a Stuart Gordon film - thankfully tits were not a prerequisite this time).

Spoiler alert for anyone who has not read the original story.
Seriously are you going to have a film that does not show to the MiGo?
A Film that has Wilmarth discovering that "Oh yes the MiGo do exist and takes Akeley's car and pisses off" Is that an ending for a film? He does not even plug Akeley in to hear what happened?
You can do that for a short story but not a film
It was faithfully 90% of the time. They made a damn fine film.
Comparing it to the lose Stuart Gordon interpretation of Herbert West Reannimator is ridiculous. Although I liked the film. Jeffery Combs was a fine Herbert West. I like less humour in my horror.

OK, point. The HPLHS has the good taste not to turn it into a comedy or a soft-core porn.
