The Call of Cthulhu (2005) … not wedding related

A movie review

What a wonderfully unexpected indie movie.
Its black and white. Its subtitled. Wait, oh my god its SILENT.
Fantastic cinematography, surprisingly good cardboard sets, delightfully bad props and miniatures not to mention Cthulhu's stop-motion animation.
The actors with limited range were perfectly charming for this retro adaptation of Lovecraft’s horror story. I believe they quite correctly recreated the acting, makeup, writing and technical situation of a 20s movie.

“Burn them. Burn them all”
A “young” man’s uncle tells him from his death bed. .
Riiiight. That’s what always happens. The Pandora’s box unlocked, the young man progresses from curious to having nightmarish visions driving him to resistant obsession as, we follow the stories in the box that show us his uncle believed there was a secret cult in existence who practiced human sacrifice and evil rituals in the name of heretofore undiscovered gods and monsters. Just you wait till the stars align and they rise and rule again.

I was delighted. You really have to see it to believe it.
