Regarding the arguments below, The Perm is right. This had nothing to do with the Cthulhu Mythos, and even if Lovecraft had a personal religious view... it wasn't THAT. The video is easily the worst in Fewdio's library, mostly because of the inconsistencies with the idea of Lovecraft's literary archetype... which MIGHT've worked if you changed the conversation from heaven-and-hell to Cosmic Philosophy... but it still would've been a bit tacky with the whole tentacle doll, or whatever...
Flacid, dull, self-indulgent, and the cute little jab at atheists induces an eye roll. Not really sure what it has to do with Lovecraft either. I hate to be a dick about it, but this is the weakest movie featured on the channel. Ah well, they can't all be winners.
@ThePerm In this manner, I like where our world is heading to. More decent and wise technology middlemen provide better platform for wiser audience and producers, and as a result the demand for cleverer production gets a change to flourish in a witter stuff.
@PythonandFelidae I absolutely agree with you but with that also comes greater industry and with that greater mainstream bloat. The more it continues the more people will be exposed to trash and the more eclectic taste will become mandatory to maintain one's own viewing/listening integrity. There's a solid trade-between in there somewhere, though personally I'm unsure of the whole issue, it's a big discussion that the cultural thinkers are barely having.
I can't decide whether I like this video or not. It wasn't scary, but incredibly ironic, which made it enjoyable -- but not what I expected. Maybe I would like it more if I'd read H.P. Lovecraft. Now I'm putting him on my To-Read list.
FEWDIO has a major problem. "Show, don't tell" is a rule in modern cinema for a reason. Video is above all else a visual medium. However with their attempts at atmospheric horror they tend to show TOO much. I think this video is the first I've seen where they've gotten it right. Build and build, then leave the monster to our imagination. I can promise that FEWDIO's audience is better at imagining monsters than they are at putting them together on a low budget. Good job on this one.
why are you blokes all saying she has a bad accent ._.
honestly, there are hundreds of different british accents! So a londoner is going to tell someone that speaks cockney that his english is crap? See if she came from london, that would be a crappy accent =P Get it right mates haha
Hey Fewdio, I just wanted to say I appreciate your videos and they really are a refreshing step in the right direction. You know what works and what doesn't work. Modern horror is occasionally good, but they rely too much on CGI and editing. Back when that technology was primitive, it was a lot of work to pull off a realistic monster. Makeup and even animatronics look marginally more realistic than CGI. You guys are awesome and keep up the great work!
Maybe I'm understanding this the wrong way, but I don't see her cry of "God, help me!" as a cry out for a deity she doesn't believe in. Earlier, she stated two or three times that when it came time for her life to end, she'd be okay with it. Nothing could be better than oblivion. She wouldn't fight it, she wouldn't care. But now, as she's being killed by something she never believed in before (God doesn't even play into this picture) she realizes she DOES want to live.
Sooooooooooo, Cthulu... I believe that there's nothing in the dark but me. Unless I'm completely alone and there's no one to tether me to reality. It was pretty good, but not nearly as good as Smoke, the Poe tribute.
could you possibly explain this one for me? what were the philosophical views of H.P. Lovecraft? and why did Cthulu attack her? and shouldn't he still be asleep? if not, then isn't the rest of the world fucked, not just her? i know not all your videos have to make sense, but this one just seems to scream for story to back it up more. it wasn't much horror, so really all this has is story and that seems to be lacking from this video also
I really don't care about the atheist/anti-atheist message...I just want to know where you got that Cthulu? My parents have a stuffed Cthulu at the house along with a CD of Lovecraftian Holiday Carols. I sort of liked the modern take on the idea of the monster.
God, some of you atheists are so easily offended. I'm an atheist and I don't get the feeling that this was anymore a serious attack on atheism than many of his vids are serious attacks on people who don't believe in monsters.
HA, i think the addition of the "God help me" while she's screaming was the cherry on top. especially since she made that comment about changing her mind blah blah.
I've liked some of your other vids but this one doesn't really hit the mark, purely because of the influence.
Cosmicism was merely Lovecraft's literary tool of choice, it wasn't a "personal religious philosophy" to any degree, nor should it be. And a noodley appendage does not a Lovecraftian film make, cosmicism was metaphysical and psychological but here you've used every typical device in the book, interspersed gore, rising crescendo music, mindless slaughter.
@ThePerm - I disagree that it's dull, but I do agree that it has absolutely nothing to do with H.P. Lovecraft, other than possibly being inspired by his work.
@ThePerm you're 99% wrong btw. Cosmicism was his created mythos. That part you got right. But her monologue was taken directly from a personal quote of his about not needing the "carrot" of Heaven at the end of the string of life. Oblivion, Lovecraft wrote, was Heaven enough for him. And that, WAS his personal philosophy.
@DaywaltFearFactory Right, so a lame dialogue reference espouses his entire belief system. Sorry but if you think anything in this video actually relates back to Lovecraft himself and not simply junky style, forced allegory based vaguely upon a poor understanding of his fiction then you weren't paying attention when you read him. To try to speak so unashamedly direct of Lovecraft the person but to so misrepresent every aspect of his fiction really can only condemn the former action, no?
@ThePerm come at me with some facts & a little less emotion and I bet you and I can actually have a nice conversation about Lovecraft. His atheism is well known, as is his strong embrace of oblivion which he believes awaits us all. Those are facts. You're espousing to know him better than I do without doing anything but criticizing me. The film may be a lot of things, but inaccurate is not one of them. Calm down, have a drink and we can talk. Until then, you're just another internet troll.
@DaywaltFearFactory You're welcome to put whatever tone you feel like over my comments but your hypocrisy and your inaccuracy don't do you any favours.
Short and simple of it. To try and talk of Lovecraft the person via fiction is a bizarre thing to do when the fiction has next to nothing to do with the person. It'd be like me paying tribute to the figure and personal, moral values of Edgar Allen Poe through the medium of Nightmare on Elm Street.
Oi,what does it matter if the video was relevant to Lovecraft? It's just a video. If you don't care about any of this,then why do you keep on arguing about Lovecraft? ........I will never understand people.
Do you feel strongly about Lovecrafts beliefs or something? If not,shut up!
@redwolfluvr It matters whether or not it's relevant to Lovecraft because it claims to be. I find it strange you'd fabricate that I "don't care" when I clearly do. How audacious of me to care about one of the greatest influences upon horror in literary history. Frankly if anti-criticism is so important to you that you'd be willing to tread all over him you should surely revoke all rights to any form of psychological horror you appreciate and get back to enjoying the 'majesty' of Stephen King.
Your videos have been excellent so far, but I sorta feel as if this one got something wrong. The whole point of the beginning quote is that nothing is more terrifying than the unknown. The whole tentacle thing during the credits sorta made me roll my eyes. I feel as if it would have been better if the one inkling of something amiss had been that one thing under the bed. Combined, of course, with the music swelling...simply to nothing but credits.
So, like the others before me, I want the cthulu statue. Any ideas/decisions on if & when they may be for sale?? My husband would go totally crazy for one.
I love the quote at the beginning. That's the way you set mood for a good horror, many classics do that, simple way of telling people that it is a horror film.
Haha, I'm not even religious but it really makes me smile when atheists get defensive. Seriously, why write a bunch of replies that just make you look like a smug holier-than-thou (no pun intended) dick?
Have to say, if Lovecraftian creatures like theese were to appear in real life i dont think it really matters if you are a believer or not since everyone would be literally shitting their pants and the topic of faith would be quite irrelevant due to the fact that you are too busy trying to run/panicking to ponder it.
Also, why can't someone make an awesome Lovecraft movie that is as good as this? Sheesh, you'd think it'd be easier..
So what was Lovecraft's "personal religious philosophy"? Was the girl's worldview parallel to Lovecraft's? Or are you referring to the monster? Because I didn't think Lovecraft actually believed in the stuff he wrote about.
So, Cthulu eats her in the credits? and why was the flying spaghetti monster crawling around under her bed? This one was kinda boring compared to the others.
Fewdio, great video. I felt palpable tension and the black humour was the icing on the cake. As for the arguing people, let's just agree to disagree and enjoy the short, please?
This is probably one of my favorite FEWDIO shorts and I've watched it quite a few times.I've always felt really sad for atheists and definitely sad for this one!
Three reasons it wouldn't be Cthulhu. 1. He only rises when the time is right. 2. He's too big. 3. He doesn't eat you, he makes your mind explode because you can't comprehend him.
That wasn't Cthulhu under her bed, he wouldn't fit. It was probably a Deep One or a Shaggoth. Either way, bloody good show! You are now my favorite channel.
I guess I should be a little offended, but I'm not. It's such a damn good video!
I bought a movie for Halloween hoping to get a holiday horror. The movie sucked. I spent the rest of the night watching these videos which were many times better than that piece of shit on the dvd. These guys need to do a feature length film!
As an atheist I don't fear what I don't know or understand, I just don't believe in it. Modern society doest believe in Zeus, so why should I believe in the Christian God?
@jg2904 I wouldn't say it's that simple. This video is about belief (yes, the main character's atheism can be categorized as a belief), and how the strength of one's convictions is tested by the imminence of death. The title is no accident.
@TheFantasticPfhor It may be a bit oversimplified, but an issue I often have with horror films is that it's always the rational characters(skeptics, people of science, & ultimately atheists) that receive brutal deaths in some form of poetic justice. Why? There are no such things as ghosts, goblins, or zombies. As far as we figure, there is nothing beyond the end of this life. The older I get, the more I think it's a little cheap to vilify people for having such conviction in cold rationality.
@TheFantasticPfhor I will say, she seems a bit more like a misotheist than an atheist. Perhaps these jabs in horror films are for people like her that take it so far that it is more of a belief than simple skepticism. I don't know... Now I feel like I'm overcomplicating things as apposed to oversimplifying them. lol
@Breeeeettttt I know. For some reason that comment has garnered quite a few replies over the course of a year. Go figure! Anyway, I think ThePerm said best what I think about this video. They pulled a cliché technique here in vilifying atheism/rationalism and, to my understanding, didn't quite catch the spirit of H. P. Lovecraft. I haven't read any of his works.
I still enjoy Fewdio, though. I really wish they'd make a feature-length film. Breach was a truly horrifying short film!
Lovecraft is considered to be a runner up to Poe in contrast of his storys of Horror ,Ect'. He has alot of good fiction, I really think if you like Poe you will also admire Lovecraft. ^__^
I would be more willing to consider your view if you hadn't used "Ect" for et cetera, lol.
I tease, really.
And I have to say that it is probably a poor idea to compare the 2 as the style, inspirations (Those they drew upon), and subject matter as a whole are worlds apart (More so applicable to how far out Lovecraft placed his writings after a few years worth of short stories, his dream pieces warranted the much appreciated book).
It was hard telling the monster from the woman being eaten, but that's what makes the monster all the more scarier.
It's not like some movie like that where a guy in a costume comes out into the open. Rather, the "tendril" sneaking underneath the bed and the bits at the end leave the viewer to construct the monster in their imagination.
5/5 and faved. Please keep up the great work (and please bring more hot female victims as well).
one of the great young ones maybe lol i didnt know about cthulu till door 17 y favorite video and fewdio.... its amazing what boredom and curiosity create isnt it and the great young ones are baby cthulus pretty much
Great job Drew, you did something thats very scary, by not showing what happens to the girl, and by showing her in blood and in pain, you make us imagine what happened to her, and thats alot more terrifying then anything ever shown on the screen because its comming from our imagination.

So, Cthulu eats her in the credits? and why was the flying spaghetti monster crawling around under her bed? This one was kinda boring compared to the others.

@ThePotatoLord We feel just as sad for you.
Fewdio, great video. I felt palpable tension and the black humour was the icing on the cake. As for the arguing people, let's just agree to disagree and enjoy the short, please?

This is probably one of my favorite FEWDIO shorts and I've watched it quite a few times.I've always felt really sad for atheists and definitely sad for this one!

The monster was probably a Shoggoth. I don't think it was a Thulu.

Three reasons it wouldn't be Cthulhu. 1. He only rises when the time is right. 2. He's too big. 3. He doesn't eat you, he makes your mind explode because you can't comprehend him.

I think it does. We fear what we don't know, so we choose not to believe in it. Religion is the best example of this.

I guess I should be a little offended, but I'm not. It's such a damn good video!
I bought a movie for Halloween hoping to get a holiday horror. The movie sucked. I spent the rest of the night watching these videos which were many times better than that piece of shit on the dvd. These guys need to do a feature length film!

@Fewdiodotcom every reproduction of an HP Lovecraft novella made into film that I have seen sucked horribly- you are the exception
You guys should make a full length (or at least another short) of a selected Lovecraft story. That would be kick ass

@jg2904 I wouldn't say it's that simple. This video is about belief (yes, the main character's atheism can be categorized as a belief), and how the strength of one's convictions is tested by the imminence of death. The title is no accident.
TheFantasticPfhor 1 year ago
@TheFantasticPfhor It may be a bit oversimplified, but an issue I often have with horror films is that it's always the rational characters(skeptics, people of science, & ultimately atheists) that receive brutal deaths in some form of poetic justice. Why? There are no such things as ghosts, goblins, or zombies. As far as we figure, there is nothing beyond the end of this life. The older I get, the more I think it's a little cheap to vilify people for having such conviction in cold rationality.
jg2904 1 year ago
@jg2904 I completely agree with your point of view on this. Then again, I might be a little biased myself.
monkeywrench97 1 year ago
@TheFantasticPfhor I will say, she seems a bit more like a misotheist than an atheist. Perhaps these jabs in horror films are for people like her that take it so far that it is more of a belief than simple skepticism. I don't know... Now I feel like I'm overcomplicating things as apposed to oversimplifying them. lol

@jg2904 You wrote this a year ago, but H.P. Lovecraft was an atheist.
Breeeeettttt 1 year ago
@Breeeeettttt I know. For some reason that comment has garnered quite a few replies over the course of a year. Go figure! Anyway, I think ThePerm said best what I think about this video. They pulled a cliché technique here in vilifying atheism/rationalism and, to my understanding, didn't quite catch the spirit of H. P. Lovecraft. I haven't read any of his works.
I still enjoy Fewdio, though. I really wish they'd make a feature-length film. Breach was a truly horrifying short film!

He is a famous Hermit writer who created stories about ancient gods and religions that would drive people insane.
if you are a gamer, you will reconize his work in Call of Cthulu and Eternal Darkness and many other...

Lovecraft is considered to be a runner up to Poe in contrast of his storys of Horror ,Ect'. He has alot of good fiction, I really think if you like Poe you will also admire Lovecraft. ^__^
wjc133 2 years ago
I would be more willing to consider your view if you hadn't used "Ect" for et cetera, lol.
I tease, really.
And I have to say that it is probably a poor idea to compare the 2 as the style, inspirations (Those they drew upon), and subject matter as a whole are worlds apart (More so applicable to how far out Lovecraft placed his writings after a few years worth of short stories, his dream pieces warranted the much appreciated book).
What was I saying? Oh yeah, horror good...lol
BayushiEisaku 2 years ago
Not to knock Poe, but seriously, do yourself a favor, check out Lovecraft.
He makes Poe look like an amateur.
(Even though this is clearly my opinion, I anticipate a lot of retaliation. Cool it. Just an opinion.)

Syman -- Pretty much every single Horror or Sci-Fi writer today is influenced by Lovecraft in one way or another. Stephen King is oen of them.

Words CANNOT do this video justice.
It was hard telling the monster from the woman being eaten, but that's what makes the monster all the more scarier.
It's not like some movie like that where a guy in a costume comes out into the open. Rather, the "tendril" sneaking underneath the bed and the bits at the end leave the viewer to construct the monster in their imagination.
5/5 and faved. Please keep up the great work (and please bring more hot female victims as well).
