Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by Scott WeinbergIf every 'fan-made' movie were this curiously cool and bizarrely entertaining, well, it'd put a lot of Hollywood suits out of a job.
Laramie Movie Scope - 8/10 by Robert RotenA clever, retro, silent, B&W adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's classic horror story.
GreenCine - 6/10 by Sean Axmaker... 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.
User Review - 10/10 by Nicholas AAmazing movie. I know most people are giving bad comments and why. It's a b&w silent film. I guess no one likes those kinds o' horrors anymore. :/ The creator's budget wasn't very good and that's not why they made it look "bad." It's because all the silent films back then were like this. So this movie should be considered horror movie GOLD! I loved the "BURN THEM ALL" part at the end. Very creepy.
User Review - 10/10 by Jon WProduced to look like a silent movie from the 1920's "Cthulhu" is pretty much amazing. It really feels authentic, and is quite well made. It has a generally creepy atmosphere, and does manage to be a little unnerving, which is impressive in this day of carnage soaked horror movies. A wonderful little film, that is also easily one of the best Lovecraft adaptations.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThe guy below me, Lance C, obviously didn't watch the featurettes on the DVD. An old style silent movie was the best way to bring the Call of Cthulhu to the screen. The emotion of the actors, the excellent choices of music, and yes even the "cheesy" animatronics made me feel like I was watching a film that was actually made during time that Lovecraft actually wrote the stort. I'm sure H.P. would be very proud of this great short film.
User Review - 10/10 by Dale RThis movie is a brilliant adaptation of Lovecraft's story. The idea of telling the story in the form of what would have been a contemporary media, a silent film works well, and the film does a beautiful job of marrying modern techniques with those used in the silent film era to produce an excellent movie on a small budget.
User Review - 10/10 by Raja SHard to believe this is not an actual vintage silent movie! Perfectly edited, brings Lovecraftian horror to life in the best way as can be.
User Review - 10/10 by Dirck dOn a basis of quality:money spent, this may be the best film even made. I don't have the vocabulary to express my admiration for the effort that went into this film and for the nearly prefect simulation of Lovecraft-era films. If you've any interest in early cinema or HP's writing, seek this item out and buy a copy (available direct from the makers via the interweb tubes!).
User Review - 10/10 by Pavandeep SThough not entirely familiar with Lovecraft, I was dazzled by this film. The amazing sets were wonderful and I found the stunning use of stop-motion and use of atmosphere startling, really capturing an essence of an era. It really impressed me and the research and work must have been a labour of joy. Though I must say, this story looks more set for a theatre adaptation or an opera, with that entire dramatization more akin to it.
