    A labor of love
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019*

This film is clearly a labor of love.  The idea of producing a low-budget fan-made black and white silent film from a story by the notoriously difficult to adapt H.P. Lovecraft seems like folly.  Somehow, though, the stars were right and everything about this film seems to work brilliantly.By telling the story as a silent film, the disjointed nature of Lovecraft's narrative finds its cinematic footing in a way that other attempts to capture the great author's work on film have failed to do.  A film with a larger budget certainly could have filmed many of these scenes with more impressive special effects, but the decision to produce a period-style film allowed the filmmakers to achieve equal or greater success even on their shoestring budget.  It's amazing how seafaring adventures and even the city of R'lyeh itself can be captured on screen using nothing more than cardboard, glitter, and ingenious cinematic trickery.  If H.P. Lovecraft would be proud of the film's storytelling, Georges Melies would be proud of the special effects.While it's clear that this film is an homage to Lovecraft and to the silent film medium, the viewer should not expect a film produced in exactly the same manner as old silent movies.  Indeed, it's obvious from the first scene that the movie was filmed digitally and some of the digital tricks are evident but, rather than detracting from the film's authenticity, this could be argued to add an authentic flavor to the film in the sense that the filmmakers used the technologies available to them in the same way that silent filmmakers would have done in the past.  Unfortunately, when Great Cthulhu does show up, the budgetary limitations become a bit more evident.  While this adds to the film's charm as a labor of love, it does slightly detract from the horror of the scene, though fortunately not in a way that severely lesson's the viewer's enjoyment of the film.The DVD further extends the experience by bonus features that exceed the entertainment quality provided by those on most major motion picture releases.  The "making of" short subject in particular captures the cast and crew's enthusiasm for the project and their love for the subject matter while providing a fascinating and entertaining  glimpse behind the curtain of micro-budget film making.While this film will likely not appeal to those unfamiliar with Lovecraft's work or the Cthulhu mythos in general, Lovecraft fans will not want to miss it.

    Hollywood, Take Lessons
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021*

I loved this modern silent movie.  Hollywood would have butchered the thing, throwing in battle scenes and love interests and eliminating the multi-layered flashbacks.  Yes, there are flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks, but in silent form it works.  OK, if I would change anything, I would have added at least a brief hint of the battle scene that was alluded to in Lovecraft's original story, but that's not a biggie.The story follows one's man quest to discover what killed his uncle.  It's also the story of the uncle's decade-long search for the truth about multiple obscure cults around the world—all of whom seem to worship the same forbidden entity.The tale that follows shows us the breadth of the worldwide cult, from insane Eskimo shamans to rituals in the swamps of Louisiana... and to a certain uncharted island in the South Pacific.  The ending is cataclysmic.  Iä R'lyeh!  Cthulhu fthagn!This movie is clearly a labor of love and it shows.  Don't miss the making-of feature that's included!

    Cosmic!
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017*

Perfect adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's 'The Call of Cthulhu.' Stays true to the original story and is wondrously executed as a silent film. The main thing that wasn't authentic, was that nothing was shown for long enough. A real silent film would show everything good and long. So, that's not a complaint, the editing on this film was smooth, snappy, and suspenseful. The climax scene especially was fantastic. I love that we don't really get to see Cthulhu quite clearly, as it should be. The best thing was the wonderful, haunting score. Loved it!
