This isn't accurate at all. Lovecraft was a man of his age; he was notoriously racist and vehemenently anti-gay - like most everyone in his Century. How did this production even happen?
I think if you don't like horror movies and you don't like the Cthulhu mythos but you do like gay drama then this might be the movie for you. And i hope you enjoy :-)
But I thought it sucked. The only way i can imagine it could win a award. In a H P Lovecraft film festival was if it was the only movie that year.... or well maybe threats of violence or bribes
@neal4utt nope, but that's not bad.. No good lovecraft movie would show cthulhu, because it would destroy the illusion. In the books, if you saw him, you would go completely insane.. A cheap computer-animated Creature would destroy everything a real lovecraft fan cares for ;)
P.S.: even though it didn't show cthulhu, it was really, really bad.. but i have to say, there are no good ones out there anyway
@thdedg45 I totally agree with you, but the sexuality does nothing to enhance the story. This is a Lovecraft adaptation, remember. Lovecraft himself expressed little interest in sex, and the sexuality of his protagonists is rarely mentioned in his stories, nor does it advance the plot.
They call this Cthulhu because its a more well known Lovecraftian name, but this is more of an adaption of "The Shadow over Innsmouth", except the book didnt have any gay sex scenarios
e or a shadow on a wall. Never show him. It's a well known fact that the slightest glimpse of him would make any man lose their mind. And plus it's just scarier that way.
How hard is it to make an adaptation of "The Call of Cthulhu"? Or anything related to H.P Lovecraft? Seriously. Filmmakers make it seem like it's as difficult to put to film as "The Naked Lunch" or "Dune". It shouldn't be that difficult. But I know if anyone did try to tackle it, they'd try and show him in all of his slimey, scaley glory. That would ruin the movie. No matter how good the rest of it is. If anyone ever does have Cthulhu in a movie, it should just be a fleeting glimpse of a tentacl
I'm really looking forward to Del Toro's "Mountains of Madness", which he says will be an R-rated film aimed at adults. Sounds awesome. Check out "The Devil's Backbone" to see his scary ghost movie.
Generally Lovecraft movies have sucked. "Dagon" was an OK monster movie, but cheesy and shallow. This "Cthulhu" film had more dramatic depth, but obviously low budget and the gay sub plot was sort of random.
This piece of shit pisses me off too much. If you want to make a ridiculous movie about anal sex to promote your gay agenda that's fine, but don't steal Lovecraft's creation and ruin its name by associating both.
@Crossbowman I hope you are joking. Why are straight people so paranoid about gay characters in movies? Do you realy think that seeing gay people is going to turn all the straight people gay? You would have to be very confused about your own oriantation to feel threatend every time you see a gay character in a movie/t.v. show. I am sorry I got so far off topic but I get pissed off when I hear about the gay agenda, I have not seen the movie so I can't comment on its quality.
@scifiviewer83 I'm not paranoid about there being a gay character. I'm paranoid about a perfectly good story being twisted and ruined to fit the director's/writer's/foo's sexual choices.
@Crossbowman I agree that the original story was ruined to make this movie, I just don't see how it is promoting the "gay agenda"to have a gay character in the movie.
@scifiviewer83 It's not just a gay character. If it was only that, I wouldn't mind much. But much of the plot was changed to call attention to the fact that he is gay.
The movie doesn't feel at all like a Lovecraft movie with a gay character, it feels like a gay movie with a few elements ripped off from Lovecraft.
@Subit5xk oh i don`t know,cthulhu just so happens to have monsters at his will,old ones,if you will,and he creates them by maddening a man then morphing him into some demented monster.he repeats this until he has an evil army.and so,if cthulhu,who,standing in water 700 miles deep,it only comes up to his waist,appeared,basically we would feel that.oh no you wouldnt feel a monster of 1000 feet tall come out of the bottom of the sea from another dimension.not at all.if someone saw him theyd go mad.
Stupid idiots whining about some gay scenes... Grow up you fucktards this movie actually looks pretty good and decent Lovecraft movies are hard to find.
To everyone bashing this movie, I have this to say. If Cthulhu is a great unfathomable cosmic entity, isn't it a greater service to him NOT to attempt to depict him bodily, only to show his effect on his unwitting victims? Furthermore, this movie is all about the time leading up to Cthulhu's return
@QueenAnime99 To be honest, though, homosexuality has no place in any Lovecraft adaptation, ever. I'm not a homophobe, but Lovecraft definitely was and was outspoken about it. I love the man's fiction, but he wasn't a particularly swell guy at all.
@QueenAnime99 Changing Lovecraft's story into a piece of softcore homo-erotica makes about as much sense as that Uwe Boll wanna be director who tried doing several adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's stories 'The Fall Of The House Of Usher' & 'The Pit And The Pendulum' and threw homosexual themes into it.
It doesn't improve the original story and it makes for a halfassed film.
@cha5 Someone already explained this to me, but thank you for your mature and rational response. I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with the choices the movie made, but I take issue with some of the homophobic comments that have been made on this page. Please see my response to MreowrProductions to better understand where I was coming from. Good day.
@QueenAnime99 Just like movie industry forcing homosexual motives to make movies look more "artistic" and "deep"... and their not, just another BS to acquire more positive medial attention
@YuriPRIME I was talking about some of the seemingly homophobic comments on this page. I'm not entirely sure what you're saying since I don't know how it's possible to tell when a movie is using gay characters/relationships/themes to make it look "deep" and "artistic." However, I am a firm believer that moviemakers should try to make the best movie they can make. Good day.
def not watching this movie, horrible work on the scriptwriter's behalf. H.P. Lovecrafts books were about supernatural events not gay relationships. in fact the main characters never had any real relationships in his novels.
@TriscuitHatesJoutube So, I'm seeing you were focused on the relationship of the main character. But you know, thats just ONE aspect of the whole movie...

O.K.
I think Tori would have been good as Yog-Sothoth, and she wouldn't have to have worn a lot of makeup either!..otherwise, worst acting ever, and really an insult.....And oh yeah, the gay sex??? yeah, that makes sense!!..
@Atreides22222 It is based on "The Shadow over Innsmouth", according to the film maker, but they didn't use that as the title.
The gay sub plot is weird. Lovecraft himself was famously homophobic (and totally racist), but also believed to be a closeted homosexual by many of his friends. I suppose you could weave some psycho-sexual theory about where his vision of horror came from, but I don't think this film was trying to do that.
@Atreides22222 Him being gay my fit the story better, they are mad at him not having kids to pass it all onto. Yes, I think you are Homophobic. I will not blame you if the fear of seeing Men love each other is to much for you. Often we fear what we are selves my be, only in fully understanding yourself will you be able to drop the fears you have with in yourself. see some gay porn, and you will know for sure if you are strait or gay. Moreover, stop fearing our beloved Gay brothers and sisters.
well actually it wasnt cause that's why the professor didnt wanted to go with women and have a child and that was cause so he could resist his fate as to coninue the lagcy and his father go in the sea...so..pointless would be this guy dont want to fuck with anybody...
IMHO it would work better for the people of Innsmouth to have the degeneracy of The Deep Ones showing through i.e. 'The Innsmouth look' and mating with one of their "women" would be compatable with mating with something subhuman which no sane person straight or gay would want any part of.
but we're talking about cthulhu mythos not your mythos...these are men who make deals with those who lives in the depths...but not have sex with them...
Yes well this film doesn't really follow Lovecraft's original Cthulhu Mythos Lovecraft's story 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' inbreeding doesn't go unmentioned however,
"When it came to matin' with them toad-lookin' fishes, the Kanakys kind o' balked, but finally they larnt something as put a new face on the matter."
Is shit movie, you cant make a film of any Lovecraft story, Howards work is psycological and thus is not suitable for big screen...only and unless in was the most scariest movie ever, rated 21 and was exactly doneto the stories, fukkin idiots.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was seriously one of the best little independent movies I have ever seen. The whole scene with the camera flash was fucking brilliant.
Well then you might want to rent the DVD 'The Call Of Cthulhu' which was made by The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society in 2005, IMHO you won't find a better Lovecraft film taken right from a Lovecraft story, the trailer for this 2008 film reminds me too much of those straight to video Poe movies with a gay subtext that what's his name (DeCouteau?) keeps churning out every year.
Omfg you are all so fucking dumb... cthulhu isnt ONLY about the big fucking great cthulhu BUT the universe related to him: the innermost fear of humankind, the creatures, the dreams, the CULTS, the FOLLOWERS of the CULTS of cthulhu, dagon etc. You are all very stupid if you are waiting to see the almighty cthulhu on a movie, a monster that could barely be described nor be seen or you would simply go insane, that cant "go trought" a tv screen, the feeling of getting isane.
very well put. haha these people dnt even know the stroy behind cthulhu they just know he himself. i would be more disapointed to see him in the movie because i dnt want to se someone elt's depiction of him i want to keep my own image of him, thats what makes him scary
exactly, when i read call of cthulu/shadow over innsmouth the way it described him was fuckin horrid and everyone sees things in a different perspective.. so we should just leave it at that...
I don't mind the homosexuality, but where is the moster? I might have consider watching this movie, had there been a lot less Tori Spelling and a lot more Cthulhu in the trailer.
No, it's just a name grab for Lovecraft fans. Rather than thinking of this movie as an adaptation of "Shadow Over Innsmouth" you're better thinking of it as a movie that draws on the Cthulhu Mythos.
Hmm... That's Shadow over Innsmouth..We saw that in the movie 'Dagon'......it sounds like this is going to be more about Dagon's ilk than Cthulhu's...
I don't see how any of this ties into Cthulu. If those things from the ocean were fish men then maybe it would make sense but ultimatly I saw nothing even close to the story line of Cthulu who is an unimaginably large creature with tentacles on his face and will make you insane if you were to ever see him, So what is this movie really about?
... he didn't have any sexual references.. or characters at all... I don't see anything related with.. cthulhu...except maybe that manhole.... this is just crap...
This movie is terrible, bad camera work, bad acting, bad lighting, bad plot line nothing like anything HP Lovecraft would have written. No real ending, no action scenes, and It takes every opportunity to show off soft gay porn.
Interesting...

I think Tori would have been good as Yog-Sothoth, and she wouldn't have to have worn a lot of makeup either!..otherwise, worst acting ever, and really an insult.....And oh yeah, the gay sex??? yeah, that makes sense!!..

@Atreides22222 It is based on "The Shadow over Innsmouth", according to the film maker, but they didn't use that as the title.
The gay sub plot is weird. Lovecraft himself was famously homophobic (and totally racist), but also believed to be a closeted homosexual by many of his friends. I suppose you could weave some psycho-sexual theory about where his vision of horror came from, but I don't think this film was trying to do that.

@Atreides22222 Him being gay my fit the story better, they are mad at him not having kids to pass it all onto. Yes, I think you are Homophobic. I will not blame you if the fear of seeing Men love each other is to much for you. Often we fear what we are selves my be, only in fully understanding yourself will you be able to drop the fears you have with in yourself. see some gay porn, and you will know for sure if you are strait or gay. Moreover, stop fearing our beloved Gay brothers and sisters.

IMHO it would work better for the people of Innsmouth to have the degeneracy of The Deep Ones showing through i.e. 'The Innsmouth look' and mating with one of their "women" would be compatable with mating with something subhuman which no sane person straight or gay would want any part of.

Yes well this film doesn't really follow Lovecraft's original Cthulhu Mythos Lovecraft's story 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' inbreeding doesn't go unmentioned however,
"When it came to matin' with them toad-lookin' fishes, the Kanakys kind o' balked, but finally they larnt something as put a new face on the matter."
One can rationalize anything I suppose.

Well then you might want to rent the DVD 'The Call Of Cthulhu' which was made by The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society in 2005, IMHO you won't find a better Lovecraft film taken right from a Lovecraft story, the trailer for this 2008 film reminds me too much of those straight to video Poe movies with a gay subtext that what's his name (DeCouteau?) keeps churning out every year.

Shouldn't this be more properly called "Shadow over Innsmouth"? It seems more or less like the short story than anything else.

Omfg you are all so fucking dumb... cthulhu isnt ONLY about the big fucking great cthulhu BUT the universe related to him: the innermost fear of humankind, the creatures, the dreams, the CULTS, the FOLLOWERS of the CULTS of cthulhu, dagon etc. You are all very stupid if you are waiting to see the almighty cthulhu on a movie, a monster that could barely be described nor be seen or you would simply go insane, that cant "go trought" a tv screen, the feeling of getting isane.
Strogonhoque 2 years ago 3
very well put. haha these people dnt even know the stroy behind cthulhu they just know he himself. i would be more disapointed to see him in the movie because i dnt want to se someone elt's depiction of him i want to keep my own image of him, thats what makes him scary

No, it's just a name grab for Lovecraft fans. Rather than thinking of this movie as an adaptation of "Shadow Over Innsmouth" you're better thinking of it as a movie that draws on the Cthulhu Mythos.

I don't see how any of this ties into Cthulu. If those things from the ocean were fish men then maybe it would make sense but ultimatly I saw nothing even close to the story line of Cthulu who is an unimaginably large creature with tentacles on his face and will make you insane if you were to ever see him, So what is this movie really about?
