Another must see, if you like silent movies, cheesy monsters and Lovecraft.
It's a crappy delight, a faux silent movie, recent but made in 1920s style by the H.P. Lovecraft Society. There's references to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, clunkily and somewhat unconvincingly rendered silent cinema camera techniques, really wordy straight from Lovecraft intertitles, and a sort of homage to Ray Harryhausen in the monsterbation.
It also captures the lyrical, cheesy somehow genuinely creepy feel of Lovecraft better than any other cinematic attempt I've seen.
I let my little plush baby Cthulhu watch it with me, who bounced around happily when his daddy menaced.
