Leave your thoughts about Cthulhu.
| Dread CentralSteve "Uncle Creepy" BartonHigh on ambition and originality and the closest we've come to a true H.P. Lovecraft film. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanA trippy, unsettling experience with a clear eye for mesmerizing visuals. Genre fans grown weary by today's mainstream spate owe it to themselves to seek out this grim, creatively sumptuous, unapologetically chilling indie effort. |
| Entertainment InsidersJonathan W. HickmanWhat is best about Cthulhu is the style that insists on keeping the viewer completely off-balance. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteThis shambling mess -- offers nothing but a lesson in how not to make a movie. |
| L.A. WeeklyLuke Y. ThompsonStuart Gordon adapted the story more conventionally in 2001's "Dagon," and it remains the better bet for Lovecraft lovers. |
| Miss FlickChickMaitland McDonaghLovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth looms largest in this offbeat film's influences, and while it can't be called faithful ... it does have an authentically doom-haunted atmosphere. |
| Boxoffice MagazineTim CogshellAs the creepy gives way to the criminal, and ultimately to the genuinely supernatural, Cthulhu maintains its grounding in the sort of real-world interests that holds one's attention without shocking demonstrations like dismemberment or decapitation. |
| Seattle TimesMark RahnerToo much about the movie is just amateurish. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenCthulhu isn't awful, but it isn't particularly compelling either. |
| User ReviewPatrick RFirst: Weird, beautifully shot, atmospheric, absurd, creepy, essentially everything that makes a Lovecraftian story Lovecraftian. It's also a really cool allegory for how uncomfortable it is for a gay man to visit his religious family in the boonies. |
