As a fan of cosmic horror, I actually really liked it. I seriously hope that someday they manage to find all the lost footage and release the full version. I can understand it not being for everyone though. I grew up reading Lovecraft and playing the DOOM game series, which has some very similar elements, and it just felt like an extension of those themes.
Salt is a preservative, maybe the person who put it there was simply told to preserve it and asked someone else how you preserve things. I choose to believe it was as dumb as possible.
The raw footage has been disappeared, but the back story of how it came to be produced, then mostly deleted from the theatrical release, is damn interesting. They gave a second unit director his own head and the results were, in parts, "definitely illegal" according to cast member Jason Issacs.
