Reviews for The Call of Cthulhu
A clever, retro, silent, B&W adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's classic horror story.
... more than simply a love letter to the stylized artificiality of silent expressionist horror... the most faithful screen translation of the author's work to date.
The Call of Cthulhu is a rare homage to the silent era that delivers the mood and atmosphere with near perfection.
The filmmakers themselves are generally paid not in dollars but in status among their fellow obsessives, which makes Call of Cthulhu truly a labor of love.
If every 'fan-made' movie were this curiously cool and bizarrely entertaining, well, it'd put a lot of Hollywood suits out of a job.
