We just wanted something short to pass the time. When we streamed The Call of Cthulhu, we little realized that we would soon face the unspeakable horror of the Elder Gods!
This is a 47-minute, black & white, silent film adaptation of some of H.P. Lovecraft's chilling tales. It shows the influence of German Expressionism, and the acting is a bit primitive, as you might expect from the early days of cinema. But it was made in 2005.
We were expecting a Larry Blamire style comedy, but they actually play it pretty straight. So if you have ever wished that someone in, say, 1920 had made a Lovecraft movie, this is your flick.
But, please, don't say Cthulu!
