Do yourself a favor and watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478988/ if you want to see a far better than average take of a Lovecraft story on film.

Less human drama, more Shub-Niggurath sending out dark young to eat people.

Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!

The Dream Quest of Unknown Kaddath would make such a good movie. If they did it up Legend style and made a real production out of it.

This in comparison just sounds like it's going to be queer.

Apparently the trailer just came up yesterday....

Cthulhu trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies

Braen · 07-17-2008, 01:36 PM

Shouldn't that be called Dagon? Or the Shadow over Innsmouth? Cthulhu is a bit misleading.

DrRetarded · 07-17-2008, 01:54 PM

I agree, but hey at least it doesn't look completely horrendous. Speaking of the Shadow over Innsmouth, did you ever see the SciFi original movie Dagon? It wasn't half bad for b-movie. I'll generally sit through any cinematic abonimation if it has to do with Lovecraft though...

Zerai · 07-17-2008, 02:45 PM

Tori Spelling..oh god.

spronk · 07-17-2008, 03:02 PM

I'm not a lovecraft fan, but isn't Cthulhu a giant tentacled kind of god? The trailer made this movie look like something about a bunch of mermen that come out of the sea every once in a while to party/kill.

Huge waste of a great movie title

And wtf, is the hero of the movie gay? This movie has got to be European.

Scientologist · 07-17-2008, 03:38 PM

Looks completely uninteresting.

Cthulhu is just Blizzard's code-name for their upcoming movie...

INVASION OF THE NAGGAS!

Ronne · 07-17-2008, 03:49 PM

Okay what the shit, they already made Dagon, and this is the same fucking movie with a different title?

Braen · 07-17-2008, 09:44 PM

I still want to get a production company that starts a weekly Lovecraft TV show that has all his short stories. Like Tales from the Crypt...

I would love to see a "Rats in the Walls" or "The Outsider" as a 30-60 minute show.

The problem with Lovecraft movies is that people take a 10-15 page story and try to make a 1 1/2 - 2 hour movie.
