Adapted from one of H.P. Lovecraft's most famous and celebrated short stories, The Call of Cthulhu is a story I thought could never really be filmed properly. When I first heard it was being made, I just knew they were going to ruin one of my favorite Lovecraft stories. However, there was some hope for it since it was being produced by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society (a collective of dedicat... read more

Description: In the insane asylum, a man begs for his papers to be destroyed. He explains they are the inherited notes of his late uncle, who tracked the rise of satanic cults seeking to raise an ancient god called Cthulu. The cult activities coincided with many suicides among people who were tormented by nightmares of an ancient temple island with a giant slumbering monster, described in particular to the uncle by a terrified artist who drew the dreams.

"And while we're on the subject of famous giant monsters in modern pop culture, I'm sure I don't have to explain who this creature is. I mean, let's be honest here, has there ever been a slimy public figure who was a bigger meme sensation on the world wide web than Cthulhu? Oh, okay, maybe Chuck Norris. But still, no matter how much Mr. Norris likes to brag that he can kick anybody's ass, we all know that he wouldn't stand a chance against this guy. Hell, even as an actor, Cthully can swim cir"

"13.10. 2000-luvulla tehty mykkäfilmi ei mene täysin autenttisesta 20-luvun esikuvastaan ihmisten puvustuksen, meikkauksen ja yleisen habituksen puolesta, mutta siitä huolimatta kyseessä on erittäin viihdyttävä kunnianosoitus lähestulkoon hylätylle tavalle tehdä elokuvaa. Tarina kerrotaan takauman sisällä olevien muisteluiden sisällä olevien takaumien jne. kautta, jolloin katsojan on pakko olla skarppina koko 45-minuuttinen kesto, jotta hän pysyy kärryillä. Tämä takaa myös se"
