I'm temperamentally inclined to like the idea and fact of fake documentaries more than most people. It always seems to me like one of the better ways to solve one of the main problems in independent or sub-independent film making - the lack of money. Plus the format itself just works for some people (like me) especially well.
This small Italian member of the species follows a fictive journey of HPL in 1926 through the Po delta, obviously, as the film suggests, the source of the main concepts of the Cthulhu Mythos. The film underplays its cards a little. Suggestions of the supernatural are probably a little too ambiguous to interest anyone who is not a Lovecraft fanatic whose kinks contain filling the fringes of the life of real people with the unreal for the film. But I am one of those fans and so can recommend it warmly.
You can watch it in three parts on YouTube:
