The Call Of Cthulhu

The Call of Cthulhu, an all new silent film, is HP Lovecraft's most famous story. It is the only story to feature the celebrated monster Cthulhu and in many ways it encapsulates the ideas that went on to permeated Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. The film follows the story's three-part narrative construction, and it moves from the 1920s to 1908 to the 1870s and back, as the story does. The story embodies HPL's nihilistic world view, his cosmic perspective, and his sense that mankind is doomed by its own insignificance

  I tried hard to like this, as you can see the effort that went in to it; however, the results speak louder (pun intended) than the enthusiasm for the project, ... read more »

  More please...
  
  Great fun. Loved the way it was made as a silent film. Hope that they do more of Lovecraft's stories this way. The 'Making of' doc is well worth a ... read more »

  Tongue in Cheek
  
  I liked the way this was done, in a 30s style silent movie format, but found everything about it to be a little tongue in cheek. I certainly found it funnier ... read more »
