This may be the most appropriate adaptation of an H. P. Lovecraft story ever!
This is my first review on IMDb. I was so pleasantly surprised (in such a twisted way) by this film that I felt almost obligated to comment on it.I’ve always loved H. P. Lovecraft’s stories and have read pretty much everything he produced. Unfortunately, his work must not translate well to film because most movies based on his stories are pretty regrettable. Many excellent and unique movies have incorporated elements and themes from his stories (The Ninth Gate, Cast a Deadly Spell, The Evil Dead movies, In The Mouth of Madness etc.), but many of those taken literally from his writings (The Dunwich Horror, Beyond The Wall of Sleep, The Curse, etc.) just don’t work.
This film contains many elements that also generally don’t work, at least for modern audiences. It’s a silent movie filmed in black and white. The acting is consistent with old silent films or stage, with exaggerated expressions and movements and is even comical at times. It is clearly a very low budget affair with outmoded special effects. The strange thing is that all of this works very well with the story, making it perhaps the best screen adaptation of a Lovecraft story that I’ve seen to date.
Because of its format, TCOC takes a little patience but overall it’s a lot of fun to watch and manages to build a fair amount of suspense and tension even as it amuses.
Brilliant movie rendition of H. P. Lovecraft’s “The Call or Cthulhu”.
“The Call of Cthulhu” is a silent film made by director Andrew Leman of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.The film is shot in high-contrast black-and-white that recalls the best German expressionism.The result is an almost vintage tale of hair-raising mystery full of truly bizarre dreams,murderous Eskimos and bloodthirsty cultists that culminates in the revelation of an unspeakable horror.The orchestral soundtrack is captivating,the special effects are surprisingly well-made and the sets for the sunken city of R’leyh look creepy.”The Call of Cthulhu” is easily one of the best adaptations of Lovecraft adaptations I have seen to date.Check it out along with Ivan Zuccon’s massively underrated “The Shunned House”.10 out of 10.
