Some of us are Freshmen at Miskatonic University..we will be waiting for the true, real history of the Necronomicon..May our wait not be in vain (it has already been partially revealed!)...
I love how you guys can recreate the uber creepy atmosphere of the HPL stories. That is some serious film noir awesomeness you got going there. Can't wait for the finished article. Please do The Color Out of Time next pleeeeeeeeeeeease :)
Oustanding!!! Personally, I love the voice used. As an avid fan of OTR, it fits perfectly with the time period this is based in. Very nice, will be buying this one for sure. I loved the version of CALL.
I love this teaser! I watch it over and over and over. The Dutch Angles and noirish lighting effects are perfect. Matt has a great look and of course Andrew and Sean's attention to detail is awe-inspiring! I am fully confident that the feature is gonna be brilliant.
@shoggothsean It's supposed to be an educated Bostonian accent, according to the Lovecraft story. I think that's just their interpretation of what an educated Bostonian accent is from 1931.
It's not. It's a recording of what was heard in the woods, a ceremony. I grew up in the more rural parts of Kentucky (i.e. 200 acres in the middle of nowhere.) and this story had me sleepless for months. Can't wait to see it.
This trailer is as creepy and atmospheric as the short story it's based on. If this is going to be as good as the HPLHS's Call of Cthulhu, then we're in for a treat!
If this is anywhere near as good as "The Call of Cthulhu", I know we are going to be in for a treat. Just saw "The Call Of Cthulhu" at a local Con, and it was so good. Can't wait for this!!
The movie should be done by then, but it's unlikely that it will be available for sale on DVD at that point. The new trailer should be online this week.
Just saw "The Call of Cthulhu" (which is now on Instant View on Netflix!). This looks like it will be awesome as well. So, if you turn a good prophet, are you guys thinking of something more ambitious, like "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath"?
holy f-in moly i gotta get this the day it comes out....i heard that this sertain story was what they based necronomicon botd off of...and that thing in the window kinda reminds me of the sea creature from the necronomicon!!!tooo excited!!!!
The sound quality in this trailer is amazing. Every little click and whir is distinctive and crisp. I hope the completed movie keeps it on the same level.
Guys, that is seriously all kinds of awesome. Beautiful noir-style lighting, fluid camera moves and one heck of a creepy atmosphere. Oh, and the cat's reaction is priceless. These handcrafted Lovecraft films of yours are gorgeous little works of art. Can't wait to see the full version!
I really enjoyed Call of Cthulhu movie. Even my wife enjoyed it. She's an artist but not into Lovecraft. I can't wait for the release of Whisperer. Good luck!
They are the only ones to true get the hp lovecraft stories right,i have high hopes for this!!,other movie i thought almost Almost had it right was dagon but,they strayed abit too much for my liking
this looks great!!!, the call of cthulhu movie was one of the best lovecraft films ever, i cant wait to see what you guys did with this one!! are you guys gonna release replica props from this film too? the cthulhu idols are the coolest damn things in my collection!! keep up the good work! ia.
What, are you suggesting you'd like your own Mi-Go brain cylinder? Now really, do we seem like the kind of guys who would offer something like that...
The movie is now about 95% shot. We need to finish the remaining shots, edit it, do special effects work, music, etc... We're estimating having it done around late spring of 2010.
God I can't wait. Whisperer was the first Lovecraft story that really got me- how it was worded and the build-up was flawless. How Lovecraft described the emotionless voices from the cannister is something I'll never forget. I really hope this one's longer than CoC (though I loved that film) so the pacing is all there. Things look great already!
This looks good! I read the story, it's one of HP's better ones, and way scarier than anything King would write. I watched Cthulhu, with Tori Spelling in it (complete garbage). It had nothing to do with Cthulhu at all. I don't recommend it. This one looks way better, and has an old-fashioned feel, which I like. I definitely wouldn't mind putting this on my netflix when it's release. I adapted one of HPs stories into a script (The Music of Erich Zann) in case you want to read it, Shoggothsean
That's great news. I loved what you guys did with the Call of C'thulhu btw. The Whisperer in the Darkness is just about my favorite HPL story btw, I love the way Akeley goes from being paranoid and besieged to "oh it was all just a big misunderstanding, aliens are our friends". I look forwards to seeing what HPLHS have done with it. All the best, the trailer looks great.
This trailer still blows my mind, it's nothing short of amazing. It gives me goosebumps every single time! I'm so happy that things are finally starting to move along with the production, I can't wait to see it whenever it's finished. You guys rock!
I just got back from the last trip to New England before filming. We'll be shooting there in September. We estimate having the movie done late spring of 2010.
Ohhh folks, this is great, I cannot wait, when is it coming out?? I need it right now!! Haha, congratulations to all the people that have been working so hard to make such a good film(don't ask, I know it will be great, even though I've not seen it yet haha)
Man, I just was watching this trailer and there was a tremor in the city were I live, well, not too strange since there is considerable seismic activity here, but you can imagine the effect between it and that Mi-go at the window.
Holy shit that was creepy. What you dont see does make it scarier..Cinema has become addicted to gasoline explosions and CGG. In most horry mysteries the fear is over once you see the monster. The disbelief is lifted.
Anybody know if this film has been released yet. Seems as though its been on the production line for quit some time. Could just be I am itching to see it. A good horror movie in today's age is rare.
This is my favorite HPL story, I am so glad it is being given the HPLHS treatment. I will definitely be buying this one too. When is it available ? I wants it ! I wants my precious !
This cinemantography is absolutely top notch, particularly the pan up the dictation machine and the eeire angle of the window. This is going to be fantastic, even better than the Call of Cthulhu.
Have you read this story because it has nothing to do with a masked killer; it is about a guy who is contacted by someone who is being pursued by and makes contact with aliens. If you pause during the lightning it looks like the shadow has a claw.
I know what you mean. But in today's culture, what sells? Sex and violence. Cinemagoers don't want (Or aren't expected to want) to sit through something where terror is created slowly through mood.
God I can't wait. This is the one story of Lovecraft's that creeped me out. How he described the emotionless robotic voice really got me. I hope they nailed it here.
I'd love to see some lovecraft done with some style, this trailer was pretty cool but expanding will be hard. Hollywood could do it but who would direct?
Jesus, I hope Hollywood doesn't do it; they would ruin it like the are ruining Star Trek with their new adaptation! This is the best way for a Lovecraft film to be made: low budget, but with real talent involved in the presentation and cinematography, something so often lost when money is thrown at a film.
This looks really awesome. I would love to see this studio do Herbert West: Reanimator. I liked the original from the 80's, but I would love to see a movie that's more faithful to the story.
I'm not so sure. I've read Re-animator and to be honest the story was pretty bland at times. Even Lovecraft himself considers it to be one of his weakest works, so doing a faithful adaption might not be such a great idea. Plus, the 80s movie had some really good moments in it too, and some great lines of dialogue as well.
That was well done, but, as a vintage audio buff, the sound from the cylinder was *way* too clear and clean sounding. You wouldn't get that kind of sound from an electrically recorded 78 rpm record disk from the 1920's, let alone one of those old dictaphone cylinders!
Alright, don't be an artard. The Call of Cthulhu wasn't completely vintage either, it's just something that can't be achieved without a very large budget.
Nitpicking something so minute and stupid is just lame.
Don't be such a complete douche bag in response. I did pay my compliments to the HPLHS for their work in this and "Cthulhu," and, yes, I do realize that they've done wonders in both cases with rather limited production budgets. I liked their "Call of Cthulhu" overall.
However, to my mind, if you're going to set something in a particular historical setting, then you should do your research, within reason and within your own time limitations. You wouldn't put a pushbutton plastic phone from the 1960's on one of the tables in Akeley's farmhouse, nor have Professor Wilmarth wearing a Nehru jacket. As someone who's acquainted with cylinder recordings, I just pointed out something that bothered me while I was watching the trailer, that was inauthentic to my ears.
You could argue that they've taken artistic license to make the voices more audible to the audience, which is entirely their right also. But, calling me an "artard" because I pointed this out isn't an adequate response.
Brilliant! You should try at making a cliffhanger serial!

My only critique of this trailer is the man's voice in the recording. Its too "Radio Announcer" and not enough Akeley.
I realize that the radio announcer voice helps create an air of anachronism, but I think the voice removes the suspension of disbelief.
Otherwise, a really great and creepy teaser to a movie that seems faithful to the source material. Congratulations.

@MrColorcrayons Thanks for your comment. The "Radio Announcer" voice you're referring to is not supposed to be Akeley. It's someone else.

Horror these days..ugh.. oh geesh another masked killer. Really...
I rather see something more..disturbingly Lovecraftian!

What do you mean by "masked killer"?
Have you read this story because it has nothing to do with a masked killer; it is about a guy who is contacted by someone who is being pursued by and makes contact with aliens. If you pause during the lightning it looks like the shadow has a claw.

with masked killer I mean the usually grind horror crap. I mean it is so simple that way. Geeh who is the killer..the one with the mask?
Nah this stuff is just better.

I know what you mean. But in today's culture, what sells? Sex and violence. Cinemagoers don't want (Or aren't expected to want) to sit through something where terror is created slowly through mood.

I know but that is in all media, easy to dine pop hits etc. It makes you well like the more arty things after a while.
And yes HP lovecraft stuf fis darn scary! Hey ever seen The Shining? With Jack Nicholson..aaah suspense! Maybe not the best piece of cinema but oooh!

True, cinemagoers don't want the intricacies of this kind of horror; that I believe, is why it will always be lumbered under cult horror I think.

Looks as brilliant as the first production. These guys are true talents.

God I can't wait. This is the one story of Lovecraft's that creeped me out. How he described the emotionless robotic voice really got me. I hope they nailed it here.

I hope so too, I would've made it similar to the voice used by the aliens in "Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers" but that's just me. :-X

I'd love to see some lovecraft done with some style, this trailer was pretty cool but expanding will be hard. Hollywood could do it but who would direct?
Vriess1 3 years ago
Jesus, I hope Hollywood doesn't do it; they would ruin it like the are ruining Star Trek with their new adaptation! This is the best way for a Lovecraft film to be made: low budget, but with real talent involved in the presentation and cinematography, something so often lost when money is thrown at a film.

This looks really awesome. I would love to see this studio do Herbert West: Reanimator. I liked the original from the 80's, but I would love to see a movie that's more faithful to the story.

I'm not so sure. I've read Re-animator and to be honest the story was pretty bland at times. Even Lovecraft himself considers it to be one of his weakest works, so doing a faithful adaption might not be such a great idea. Plus, the 80s movie had some really good moments in it too, and some great lines of dialogue as well.

Sean, this looks and sounds fantastic. Who did/does your sound design? The voice is perfect. Utterly creepy. Bravo.

If this movie isn't released yet, I'm gonna summon Shub Niggurath: Maybe THAT'LL teach you to make awesome teasers and not make the connecting movie.

So, this must be a "talkie," I guess, unlike the silent "Call of Cthulhu."
felixjazzage 3 years ago
That was well done, but, as a vintage audio buff, the sound from the cylinder was *way* too clear and clean sounding. You wouldn't get that kind of sound from an electrically recorded 78 rpm record disk from the 1920's, let alone one of those old dictaphone cylinders!
felixjazzage 3 years ago
Alright, don't be an artard. The Call of Cthulhu wasn't completely vintage either, it's just something that can't be achieved without a very large budget.
Nitpicking something so minute and stupid is just lame.

Don't be such a complete douche bag in response. I did pay my compliments to the HPLHS for their work in this and "Cthulhu," and, yes, I do realize that they've done wonders in both cases with rather limited production budgets. I liked their "Call of Cthulhu" overall.

However, to my mind, if you're going to set something in a particular historical setting, then you should do your research, within reason and within your own time limitations. You wouldn't put a pushbutton plastic phone from the 1960's on one of the tables in Akeley's farmhouse, nor have Professor Wilmarth wearing a Nehru jacket. As someone who's acquainted with cylinder recordings, I just pointed out something that bothered me while I was watching the trailer, that was inauthentic to my ears.
felixjazzage 3 years ago
You could argue that they've taken artistic license to make the voices more audible to the audience, which is entirely their right also. But, calling me an "artard" because I pointed this out isn't an adequate response.
