Plugging nicely into the RPG world of Delta Green, Rough Magik is about The Night Scholars, a clandestine organization setup to monitor the ancient cult of Cthulhu. After decades of compiling an enormous database of arcane information, they have come to a single, incontrovertible conclusion: the Sleeping God is waking. Diana Armitage, with the help of her Home Office liaison, the mysterious Mr. Moon, launch an aggressive campaign against the Dreamers. This operation, designated the Rough Magik initiative, was successful but they trod on the toes of some powerful people, amidst accusations of financial impropriety and possible treason, and the Night Scholars were disbanded. Now years later, the old magic is returning, the Sleeping God is rising, and there are more Dreamers than Mr. Moon can handle as he struggles to rebuild the Night Scholars before its too late.

| User ReviewAl MThe Rough Magik Initiative is not based on any particular Lovecraft story bu instead imagines a secret militia who are charged with the duty of protecting the world against the cult of Chtulhu. This film features a genuinely creepy opening and some profoundly Lovecraftian moments later on, but overall it suffers from a low budget and an inability to truly envision the struggle with the Cthulhu cults. |
| User ReviewSam SSlow and somewhat incoherent. Despite being only 40 minutes long I fell asleep twice. |
| User ReviewMykel NWith the exception of a couple of creepy moments, this Cthulhu film was shit; as most films adapted or inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's work tends to be. This was originally a pilot for a show, but I am not surprised at all that it did not get picked up. Poor cinematography, poor editing, poor acting, poor directing, poor everything! The short films that came with the movie were equally as bad. 04.23.09 51st Film of 2009 |
