Cthulhu (2008)

It’s unfortunate that so few horror fans know of the great H.P. Lovecraft. Well before what we consider to be horror movies graced the screen, writer H.P. Lovecraft was weaving tales so wicked that you may even find yourself more uncomfortable at night after reading The Rats In The Walls than if you had watched SAW in bed. With such a twisted and deep world that Lovecraft has created, nothing has been more revered and more referenced then the unspeakable evil known only as Cthulhu.

The upcoming film Cthulhu is based heavily off of the literary work of Lovecraft, and follows the journey of a lowly Seattle history professor on his journey to the coast of Oregon. The professors has been feeling drawn back to his estranged family due to his need to execute his late mother’s estate. While the positive part of his trip has been catching up with his old childhood friend in a long awaited tryst, the professor unfortunately discovers that his father is involved in a New Age cult planning some very sinister and apocalyptic events in the not so distant future.

Cthulhu will be released on August 22^nd for a limited screening.
