A new psychological horror film based on the story by H.P. Lovecraft. Daniel Upton's relationship with his friend Edward Derby is abruptly changed after Edward becomes romantically involved with enigmatic hypnotist, Asenath Waite. As Edward's behavior becomes more erratic and events unexplainable, Daniel investigates. Is it madness...or something far more terrifying? "It is true that I have just sent six bullets through the head of my best friend, and yet I hope to show by this statement that I am not his murderer."

Press Quotes

This movie is every bit as fantastic as the trailer suggests.... THE THING ON THE DOORSTEP is creepy, very true to Lovecraft's story, with some great performances. —Mike Davis, Lovecraft eZine

Director Tom Gliserman's adaptation of Lovecraft's THE THING ON THE DOORSTEP is bang on: a very scary, beautifully made indie feature that perfectly captures that suffocating sense of dread that works so well on the printed page and offers excellent turns from its relatively unknown cast. —Chris Alexander, Fangoria

As a lifelong Lovecraft fan... I would say to [him], 'They done you good, Howard. They done you good.' —Horror News Network
