Wikipedia article'Innsmouth' is a 2015 short horror film that was directed by Izzy Lee, who co-wrote and co-produced the film with Francesco Massaccesi. The film premiered on August 19, 2015 and is inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, particularly 'The Shadow over Innsmouth'. The film received attention for its predominantly female cast, as many of Lovecraft's works tended to feature predominantly or solely male characters. Of this, Lee stated that "'Innsmouth' was created to make Lovecraft roll over in his grave a little by having the cast 98% female and switching the gender roles. SynopsisDetective Olmstead has arrived on a peculiar crime scene, with a body that has both a bite wound and an egg sac on her back. Her only clue is a photograph of the victim with a strange woman.
