DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Call Of Cthulhu (1 Viewer)

[Matt.Koz]

(You do realize that mention of Redmeadow 2: The Revenge on the HTF is one of the signs of the Apocalypse, don't you?)

I wasn't aware that was the full title. One of the rare instances where the sequel exceeds its predecessor in every way. I always thought there were definite echoes of the ill-fated production of Showdown at the Trinity Chapel in that one...but I digress.

Nice review; I liked this a lot, although they weren't always scrupulously faithful to Silent style acting. The extras make it clear that the result is an amazing piece of filmmaking on a shoestring; the budget appears to be something in the neighborhood of $1.50 but they've really pulled off something special here.

They tell me that they're working on a larger budget for their next feature.

I've been meaning to get this via Amazon.

Aaron, what would you say the best Lovecraft adaptation has been?

Wow, I left Sam hanging for almost 7 years! Sorry, dude. To be honest, I think this is the only true Lovecraft adaptation I've seen. In the Mouth of Madness was more of an "inspired by." Hm, was Re-Animator a true adaptation? I haven't seen it in many years, though. Aside from the other film made by the HPLHS, I've never heard much of anything good about any Lovecraft adaptation.

Wow that IS neat to find that reply after 7 years! BTW you can watch this film free on Netflix streaming! http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_Call_of_Cthulhu/70067488?locale=en-US
