Trailer - The call of Cthulhu movie

[Mephistin]

good game

[blockhead550]

much better than "The Artist"

[MrsCamui]

Just now finished it on Netflix. Although the fight scene with the backwoods cultists was cheesy, this film has a really creepy and suspenseful atmosphere to it, just like the original story.

I really enjoyed it and recommend it to any Lovecraft fan.

[QuicksilverHammer]

I just watched this last night. I'd hardly call it great, but it most definitely was innovating and visually intriguing. I would recommend it.

[bitdinver]

it looks too Hd for me.

[CV7E]

This is quite a good video. It's quite entertaining reading some of the comments!

[SRE7674]

respect the times it was made in... and for the times it looks great

[Pepi196]

@SRE7674 It was made in 2005?

[auralstream]

This looks terrible. People who say this is 'amazing' are the same people who like obscure shit just because. They can look at a 30 second clip of black and white film showing a dog take a shit and claim to draw inspiration from it and think it was the most amazing thing they've ever seen. I'm not knocking Lovecraft. His stories are good but this shitburger of a film is only entertaining to those who fool themselves into believing it's entertaining. +1 for the "cool because it's underground" eh?

[Yubera2K10]

@auralstream This guy

[Ghoulcraft]

I have read all his stories and seen most of the films except this one but based on this trailer, I can tell its awesome. HP lives!!!

[ericmotta1]

0:30 JACK WALTERS !!!!!

[epicness14]

Just a question, do you actually see Ctuhulu in the movie?

[WrathChaos96]

Howard would be proud.

[joshlerd]

Is the camera man fapping?

[IAmThinkTankDubstep]

@joshlerd HAHHAHAHA

[vomitgorefromheaven]

@joshlerd YOU FUCKING MADE MY DAY MAN

[CFpandemic]

@joshlerd What do you expect out of a movie called "Call of Cumthulhu?"

[Todd200]

Oh man, this movie was made in 2005. They had me fooled!

[rottingdisciple91]

how do i get this movie

[ScarletSnake]

They make movies based on all sorts of crap and can bring to life any creature, realistic and believable on the silver screen. Why hasn't Lovecraft's brilliant Cthulhu ever been done in today's big budget movies?

[justmykmusic]

@ScarletSnake i second that

- im just holding thumbs that the del toro version of "mountains of madness" gets thr green light

[smokyp3nguin]

A brilliant silent film seen through the eyes of a chronic masturbater.

[MultiUniv3rsal]

@smokyp3nguin Is that the 'fap fap fap' I hear throughout?

[ProfessorZaroff]

I loved that film

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

Love it, it really does look like a legit old school film. I need to pick it up asap

[walterlopez71]

I've just seen, "The Whisperer in Darkness" from the same producers, is incredible what close are to the original tale, and the effect of an old movie gives it the creepy feeling this kind of story needed.

I wish the Hplhs continue making movies about this myth, are really great.

Very funny and terrifying at the same time, they does justice over trash like "The Dunwich Horror" (1970)...

[MrMariottide90]

1:20 what the hell is it???

[hanaryukoku]

I'm pretty sure even in lovecrafts time, movies at least had voices.

[shoggothsean]

@hanaryukoku You need to learn a little about either the history of motion pictures or the history of Lovecraft.

[DOGMAN8030]

fapfapfapfap

[TheMidnightDosojin]

Someone was really slapping it hard.

[JMDNelson]

Is Cthulhu as big as a mountain??

[carnalrage]

the song metallica made would definatley have gone better for the movie

[xDimebladex]

@carnalrage fuck at metallica. they totally suck!

they wouldn't deserve to be in a cthulhu movie!!

[UndergroundxStudios]

@xDimebladex I'm gonna go with you wouldn't know good music if it slapped you upside the head.

[carnalrage]

@xDimebladex sir you are a dick

[shoeberrypie]

Someone must have a VERY intense tentacle fetish...

[trex6321]

2:27 hes coming and hes coming for u lol

[Jim382]

For anyone who hasn't seen this yet, this is one of the best Lovecraft adaptations. Made to look like a silent film that would have been made around the time Lovecraft lived. And extremely faithful to the story. Got the dvd for Christmas 2 years ago, and watch it frequently.

[TheRatjacket]

Fap Fap Fap Fapping

[BernyjackStone]

è spaventoso 

[MsPandaRosa]

I bet Great Lord Cthulhu would approve of this. Silent (yeah, sure) movies still rock, in the right hands.

[percheron1654]

Sounds like someone fapping in the background

[BucketheadLV102]

Nevermind, I found it and uploading the full movie into Youtube, Enjoy. =}

[BucketheadLV102]

What year is this? It seems impossible to find... & i've never seen it but really want to

[xXGriffoXx]

I'm sorry, but no. Just no.

Just play the game Call of Cthullu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

[rampage222555]

just saw this movie, it was amazing. I think ill finally get down to reading the book

[BrokenSword47]

@rampage222555 It's a short story for fuck's sake, you would have read it by now, it's over in about an hour or so of reading.

[dns809]

[pein417]

amazing. they got the statue wrong (not how i saw it in my head based on lovecraft's description) but it deffinately looks like something worth a watch. id love if someone with todays modern graphic technology and skilled makeup artist would re do this movie. that'd be awesome.

[BrokenSword47]

@pein417 It's a 2005 movie, haha.

[BucketheadLV102]

@BrokenSword47

1928 Movie. 2005 is probly the DVD release

[BrokenSword47]

@BucketheadLV102 Dude, the movie is from 2005, if you don't believe me google it. A quote from wiki: The Call of Cthulhu is a 2005 silent film adaptation of the H. P. Lovecraft short story of the same name.

[BucketheadLV102]

@BrokenSword47

Haha i just coudnt believe it untell now, thanks for correcting me

[BrokenSword47]

@BucketheadLV102 I still haven't seen the movie, but I'm planning to. I read the short story a weed ago.

[BucketheadLV102]

@BrokenSword47

Cthulhu looks amazing in it, I havnt read the story yet but i got an HP Lovecraft hardcover book with most his stories in it, i should read it soon.

[cloudguile]

im here cuz of terraria

[mliss78]

@SharptoothedGrin Wow. You have absolutely no clue what this film or, for that matter, Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" is about.

[albertwesker471]

its prytty stupid that people would worship something that they should already know is science fiction

[loveSc7]

hey didn't you make a postwork on this video in Aftereffects? Cause it looks like you duplicated the main layer once, and added a Gaussian blur.... I say it because I think it looks too good in comparsion how old that movie is

[Marthedoeliz]

hola, alguien sabe como se llama la película y en donde puedo conseguirla?

[donutboy53]

I just saw this movie and man I never thought I would be scared by a silent film in my life! Let's just say when you see Cthulhu, you will shit yourself!

[Jc40k1]

Now make one for A Shadow Over Innsmouth! That's my favorite one!

[Grayhatt]

@qwertyb17 Sort of. It was basically an alien that died (along with others godlike demonic things). However their minds continued to live on so it communicated to men when they MUCH later came to earth since the aliens had lived on it much earlier than them. After they communicated it to them those men started a cult of Cthulu, and awaited for the stars to be right, to revive him. Theres more, but thats the gist. It's creepy actually.

[KuhoinX]

hard to believe this is a 2005 movie...

[andoc]

Probably the best adaptation of the tale. It does it justice.

[deltaecotango]

that i suppose is made on porpouse to give more the vintage style of the movie...i saw this one this night i liked it a lot...

byebye

[sjlume]

Fun trailer! We are the new producer/director teams for the feature film version of At The Mountains Of Madness (since del Toro dropped it in March). Check out the fun trailer for the just-published audio book on our channel here and our online platform at sjlume.com, join us, and please stand by. We'd love to hear from all Lovecraft fans and will be holding contests, info sessions and more!

[bensley56]

@sjlume Don't fuck it up.

[shinobiung]

0:31  ?_?

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

I had seen the film. This adaptation is awesome, especially concerning the horror elements and the utter alieness and weirdness of Cthulhu. And in particular, the scene in which the sailor rams the ship at Cthulhu is particularly awesome.

[mikepyro713]

Del toro is brilliant. Liked hellboy but devils backbone and pans labyrinth were truly incredible.

Carpenter did a version of in the mouth of madness did he not? Also pretty decent.

[mikepyro713]

The problem is most films that were silent utterly lacked real fear, nosferatu was great thanks to fantastic direction and mood, and wasn't nearly as bad in overexagerating expression than this, still didn't hate it at all, just felt there was far too much unintentional comedy to capture the tale fully.

[cha5]

@mikepyro713 Completely disagree, for me The Cabinet of Dr Caligari is something I still find to be pretty damn unnerving more than alot of talkie films, same with Les Vampires and the Fantomas serial not to mention The Man Who Laughs.

[mikepyro713]

@cha5 was talking about ctuhlu having too much comedy.

caligari and nosferatu (while dated of course) managed to craft a great mood and feel through lighting, directing, etc without using overaxgeratted actors (at least not self conciously like this film did).

[cha5]

@mikepyro713 Well Caligari has a combination of factors that make it unsettling for me such as the expressionist set distortions the angles and use of shadows, plus the violin score at least on my Kino DVD which has an almost Herriman Psycho effect on the ears. As for the humor in Cthulhu, it didn't seem much more over the top for me than some of the humor in say The Phantom Of The Opera or maybe elements of the original King Kong which IMHO is kind of what they were aiming for.

[cha5]

@mikepyro713 Cont Although once the crew reaches reach Ryleh that's about as close to the original Lovecraft story as any adaptation I've ever seen (at least insofar as seriousness and gravitas goes IMHO) ;-)

[Jim382]

Got this for Christmas one year and still think it is one of the best Lovecraft adaptatons yet, next to Stuart Gordon.

[tyrannotitan953]

well? wheree the fuck is Cthulhu?!?!?

[TheNightsMoon]

@tyrannotitan953 R'lyeh.

[dericoll]

All the masturbation comments were stupid and immature UNTIL I replayed the video and heard the fap, fap, fap, fap…and my god that was fucking funny! The comments were definitely warranted.

[i1still1will]

im here because of the song call of ktulu...

[BuriedFrozenEyes]

someone likes Cthulhu a bit too much

[dltanner99]

Horror novel see video book trailer

[ExecutivePwnage]

It saddnes me no one has created a Cthulhu movie. Featuring Cthulhu. I mean we have all this crap but no Cthulhu movie?

[stickmand123]

@ExecutivePwnage ever read the book?

[ExecutivePwnage]

@stickmand123 Yes. Yes I have.

[RandyLahey911]

hahahahah fap fap fap

[themetalpredator]

Wow. I guess I'm glad i watched this trailer; now I know not to waste any of my time on this piece of crap. They could have at least used Metallica's Call of Ktulu for a soundtrack.

[stickmand123]

@themetalpredator why should they use that song? do you even know what cthulhu is all about?

[themetalpredator]

@stickmand123 Of course I do. I wouldn't be looking at this trailer if I wasn't a fan of H. P. Lovecraft's work. I've read The Call of Cthulhu many times, as well as most everything else HPL had written (I still haven't read the stuff he did as a ghost writer). I understand the filmmakers were trying to make a film that looks and sounds like movies did in HPL's time; I just don't think it looks that good. And the song? Well, I just like it, and I would like to see it in a Call of Cthulhu movie.

[stickmand123]

@themetalpredator Well that's awesome then. I don't think the movie looks that bad (not good though). I also believe that Call of Ktulu would be a REALLY bad choise for a Cthulhu movie unless you made it as some kind of action/adventure.

[themetalpredator]

@stickmand123 I guess you're kinda right about the choice of the song. But every time I listen to Call of Ktulu I imagine a movie trailer with scenes from the story playing out. Slowly at first, as the song starts; maybe a shot of the ocean with dark clouds overhead, then more dramatic scenes as the song builds, and climaxing with the sailors' confrontation with Cthulhu. I love what Cliff Burton does with his bass near the end. It sounds like Cthulhu bellowing.

[stickmand123]

@themetalpredator I think it would be possible to create an awesome music video featuring elements from Call of Cthulhu. You know the movie-style videos where they don't show the band at all (meshuggah - bleed for example). Also because Metallica captures the whole "mood" of the story pretty good in the song, it just wouldn't fit in a serious Cthulhu movie.

[themetalpredator]

@stickmand123 I think in the end I'm going to have to agree with you after all. I hope that one day we get a high quality film adaption of The Call of Cthulhu; but as many people have pointed out over the years, H.P. Lovecraft's stories and visions usually work better in print then in a visual medium. But if we do get a slick Cthulhu movie, I would at least like the song to be played during the credits (I guess I just can't give it up!).

[stickmand123]

@themetalpredator well with a creative director and a studio who doesn't care about mainstream appeal it shouldn't be impossible to make a good movie adaption of a lovecraft story. :)

[themetalpredator]

@stickmand123 In other words, a good adaption is very unlikely. : ) But we can still hope.

[TheNightsMoon]

@themetalpredator I own everything ever written by Lovecraft. The shadow out of time was the best, I wish they would have made a movie based on it....But in these stories, the fact that they exist is the most horrifying part, and facing the truth that mankind is nothing in the grand scheme of things. I love Lovecraft's writing style...

[themetalpredator]

@TheNightsMoon The Shadow Out of Time is a great story. Very vivid and very imaginative. I love the whole concept of that story; creatures from the early days of Earth moving around through time for knowledge and survival. That would make a great movie. The people who made this adaption of The Call of Cthulhu (which I am going to watch, just to give it a shot) are currently trying to make The Whisperer In the Darkness, another favorite of mine.

[TheShinyhappyperson]

he faps to the intensity of this trailer

[mattwilhelm60]

YES I GET IT!!!!!!! THERES A HUMOROUS SOUND IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!!

[annjar69]

A certain someone enjoyed the movie :)

[Johnny123456789x]

"Ludo Fore Putavimus"?

[goreombola]

Fap fappidy fap fap fap

[PatrickLars]

quit jackin off bitch ! cant u see im tryin to watch this fuckin movie , g-d . . . lol

[DrnTT]

The fapping sound is the Deep Ones Flapping their ears in anticipation!

[maxgonzalez777]

I can't wait to what guillermo del toro willdo with "at the mountains of madness", i love his movies and he is one director who really gets Lovecraft, just look at the first hellboy, the beasts, the sets, the myth of the ancient gods, everything screams Lovecraft.

[maxgonzalez777]

i have seen several HPL screen adaptations (in the mouth of madness, dagon, dunwich horror, the enchanted palace, etc) and they all fall short of fullfilling the potential of the source material. imagine what this guys at the HPL Historical Society could have done with a Hollywood budget. Hats off to the HPL HS for creating a small masterpiece with what surely were meager resources.

[mikepyro713]

@maxgonzalez777 aside the awful exageratted acting in the film it is pretty decent, though re-animator is a better film.

[maxgonzalez777]

@mikepyro713 The acting is exagerated because it is a silent film. Lacking the capability to convey emotions through language actors had to emphasize facial expressions and body language. This is how it was done before talkies came along. Watch the original Nosferatu.

[maxgonzalez777]

lol, it does sound like someone is jacking off in the background. aside from that, i just finished watching the whole movie and i am impressed. this is the best Lovecraft film i have ever seen. it is a labour of love by devoted Lovecraft fans, done with little money obviously, but the screen play is very close to the original story (a rarety for HPL) and despite the technical shortcomings it takes the subject matter dead seriously.

[trix2705]

God he's going at it like..

[thorkelson]

If they made a current full budget adaptation of the movie the Norwegian sea captain MUST be played by Dolph Lundgren. When I read the story I clearly saw the character as him.

[maxgonzalez777]

@thorkelson good call man, i was thinking Viggo Mortensen

[DrnTT]

@thorkelson You must be joking...The only thing Dolph Lundgren is capable of playing is no-brain smash this, break that, shoot everything that moves with a single bullet while you're dodging a million of them, roles in low budget action crapfests...The existing actor does a much better job because they're at least passionate about what they're doing. If they get a real budget they should get real actors.

[kesinpa]

Loved this movie. When a friend saw it he thought is was a genuine 1920's film. Will be posting my full review on my channel.

[reddalek555]

They used the soundtrack from the original King Kong :P

[JLLproductions]

wow this film looks really shit. they had the technology and money to make a half decent film about it at this day and age, they just chose not to use it. someone should make an adaptation.

[seitenkasi]

someone is really masturbating..

[PurePwnzors]

I've seen the movie and it's actually pretty damn good. I think it captures the story very well, to be honest. Because the story was written in 1926, the creator of the movie made it a silent film to capture the era it was created, so to speak. And yes, the movie is actually longer than 2:40. If you are a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, I Highly recommend the movie!

[SamvoltS]

@PurePwnzors i think the same dude (y)

[laidbackjoe]

I guess its a really good movie.

[Ratan01]

Men, the sound is the proyector working... ¬¬

But maybe someone is masturbating too... xD

[reximan2]

where can i watch the full movie?

[pupil8]

@reximan2 netflix has it online for viewing

[minus12345]

Lol, I can tever tell if old movies are serious or modern parodies.

[YourMNKY]

@minus12345 This isn't old. It was done in 2004 or 2006.

[candygameengine]

I just watched this on Netflix. It's actually really well done. I've never read the original short story it's based on, though. For a modern-day silent fill made in the style of the old era, it works very well.

[louisrafaelespinosa]

Someone masturbating in the background

[hitmanatyourdoor]

@louisrafaelespinosa

For a whole 2 minutes 40 seconds?? I think not XD

[Jigsaw280]

hahahaha

[MIND4eva]

@louisrafaelespinosa Maybe us, seeing the best movie adaption of a Lovecraftian story so far

[tenseman08]

@louisrafaelespinosa its cthulhu jackin off

[Dorchica]

@louisrafaelespinosa Oh man! You just ruined the trailer for me! I can't stop laughing while watching it XD

[R9O89R]

@louisrafaelespinosa He/she/it(?!) just can't handle the powers of the High Priest of The Great Old Ones... Cthulhu fhtagn!!!

[MrLolcatsXD]

@louisrafaelespinosa if thats what masturebating sounds like to u, uve got a problem mate :P

[louisrafaelespinosa]

@MrLolcatsXD idc.

[louisrafaelespinosa]

@MrLolcatsXD I have no effin problem, i just said that because the sound is familiar to me. =.=

[MrLolcatsXD]

@louisrafaelespinosa familiar? dude go see a doctor :P

[louisrafaelespinosa]

@MrLolcatsXD

You should go see a doctor, Not me.

[conkersbadfurdaywar]

@Adam92326 thats the film rolling,

[unrealaldridgeguy]

@57thdarkspear I've not seen one with Cthulhu in it but there's an old Lovecraft XBOX game with Dagon in it based on the " Shadows over Innsmouth " story callled " Dark corners of the earth " which is pretty ok.

[TheChangenick]

how old is that movie

[Goxynho]

@TheChangenick 2005

[TheChangenick]

@Goxynho 5 years ?? but its look old

[smokyp123]

@TheChangenick I don't think it is that old, it looks like it's been made to look like an old movie.

[1234567890goddammit]

@smokyp123 No it is not an old movie, its made in 2005 by the H.P lovecraft historical society. If you're into lovecraft (i am) its a great movie.

[BandakaKush]

Who else fapped to this?

[MrFryguy001]

Is this even an actual trailer back from the 30's or is this another fake trailer made by college students?

[MrNobody47710]

@MrFryguy001

I think it's a trailer for the modern film adaptation. It's been made to look like an old movie.

[smokyp123]

@MrNobody47710 I was thinking the same thing, it looks to perfectly lit to be an old movie, and not truly grainy.

[MrNobody47710]

@smokyp123

Yeah, the film uses a combination of old and new techniques. It looks old, yet it also looks new.

[57thdarkspear]

god dammit..i want to see cthulhu in a movie or a video game...you know that Giant green thing with tentacles and wings

[arandomperson3]

@57thdarkspear Yea I know! It's like why do we watch Godzilla movies? We don't give a shit about Dr.Yakudo's love afair with miss Miashifuckmyface who is working on godzilla weapon X! We just want to see "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWRRRR! AMA GONNA EACHOOO!!!!! RAAAAA!!!!" *breaths fire* ROAAAR *stomp stop*

[bobaka999]

Fapping its a sound old procectors made while playing as reel with movie spins.
