So apparently the Cthulhu movie already came out . . . and I missed it??

[Simon Atavax]

So here I am, wondering when the heck that Cthulhu movie is coming out, the one with the cool trailer that I saw last summer, the one with Tori Spelling in it (ugh).

And apparently it's already been out and gone. I heard nothing, nada, about it. Can anyone fill me in? It's apparently set in the Seattle area and has a gay protagonist.

Was it any good? Did it actually make it to theaters, or did it go straight to video?

I'm pretty sure it was straight to DVD. Netflix doesn't have it, yet, and no time frame on when they're going to get it.

I remember wanting to go see it but it never came here.

There is also a "Call of Cthulhu" moive made by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, it is quite low-budget but made in the style of like a 1920's movie. It also has a kickass movie-poster, I bought one myself.

As far as I can tell, it hasn't been released outside of film festivals.

It certainly shows off a bunch of awards, I'm not quite sure how prestigous any of them are, but it does seem quite well received in some circles. It's not on DVD, I just think it hasn't had a general release.

Got a copy of that myself. I have no idea what the Spelling one looks like, but I doubt strongly it's anywhere near as good, no matter what budget it may have.

Huh. S.T. Joshi liked it. He's like the big HPL guru.

I own it. Fairly good, the movie was helped by being siilent.

Huh. IMDB has this movie being listed as a gay movie first and a cthulhu movie second.

I'm puzzled by the business of this. Why make a film and then just show it in Alaska? (one of the recent "showings"). Surely there will have to be a general theatrical release or at least a DVD for the filmmakers to, like, make a profit, eh?

I would imagine that they are shopping the movie around hoping for a distribution deal.
