Because that would completely defeat the purpose of telling the story. Lovecraft's creatures are horrific because they're created by the imagination and only briefly revealed. The monster isn't the focus of the story, it's the psychology.
I'm trying reread The Call of Cthulhu right now, but Lovecraft's writing style is so grating, like the textual equivalent of listening to a song with feedback and static on the radio, that I'm not sure if I'll bother to go more than a few pages.
edit: watched the trailer, pretty sure Lovecraft didn't have that many women in his stories.
edit 2: The writing got a lot better after a few pages, I'm actually enjoying it now.
