UntitledMade by the "H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society"....a black and white, silent version of Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu". Clearly they were strongly influenced by German silent movies, particularly "The Cabinet of Dr Caligari". I thought it was great. If you like unusual, and independently made movies and/or silent movies like "Nosferatu" or "The Golem"....you might like to check it out......

UntitledYeah....I'm pretty sure that (the time period thing) was part of the reason...that and the budget (or lack of it!).....but I was immensely impressed.....particularly after watching the "making of..." which is included on the DVD......with them building sets in back gardens, shooting scenes in a porn warehouse (which appears as an evidence archive...!), and a whole load of other brilliantly inventive DIY film making stuff......
But don't get me wrong, this film (IMHO) stands alone, you don't need to make any allowances for the low budget and cast of amateurs, it is the BEST Lovecraft adaption for the screen I have seen, bar none....

UntitledThere's actually a name for it, it's called ...German Expressionism. So Good! Closer to the time period during which it was written, which I'm sure is the point. I've seen some really bad H.P. re-interpretations of late..awful cartoons, anime (bleh!) no less, so it's nice to see H.P. done justice.
