I rather enjoyed the film and felt that it lived up to the media to which it paid homage. Matt Foyer was really well cast as the typical Lovecraftian anti-hero, who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders - in relative secret.If you're a fan it's worth a look, and not just to snicker and disparage. Consider what the creators were aiming for and you'll see how much they were able to capture the hopelessness of Lovecraft's mythos. The sense of despair at being unable to stem the tide of the cult's influence.

Hmm...a Call of Cthulhu silent film. Sounds interesting. Sounds like everyone loves it..It just isn't very good. I was more or less in agony watching it and by the end I actually felt a bit ripped off after it was over.It's just so low budget and it just plain doesn't work. Cthulhu in particular was disappointing. The whole film felt like a sort of "test film" to show investors...not a finished product.

Wow, this silent movie left me speechless and wanting more, what a fantastic piece of cinematic art as well as a timeless classic. For a "Horror Movie" of its time, it gives todays horror movies a run for their money. The screenplay is well adopted form the HP Lovecraft story, the direction is focused and to the point and even the special effects of the time are superb. This movie deserves the same merit as the Dracula and Frankenstien movies of their day, excellent from beginning to end.

I just wanted to give viewers a heads-up. This is a silent movie with subtitles. Unfortunately, subtitles give me headaches. I couldn't watch this movie because of the headache, but there are five other reviews at this time from people who did (I assume). Four of them gave it a good rating, one didn't. If subtitles makes a difference to you, I'm glad to provide the information.

Speaking as a long-time silent film enthusiast and collector as well as a Lovecraft fan, I agree with the 1-star by a Mr Davis that the result is amateurish. In fact he's being polite. It's downright bad. Furthermore, it wouldn't even be a good student project. At least not if the student had any delusions of getting a passing grade. The idea is good but it needs to be done by people with talent, something this effort wasn't.

If this was some kids senior project for his first film class maybe I'd have some sympathy. But if you're going to do one of the greatest monsters ever conceived you better have some real payoff monster scenes. This has this weak, super choppy, barely lit claymation Cthulhu at the end and it sucks. SUCKS. If you're dying to see it, just check it out on youtube before you waste 45 minutes of your life. I just don't get why this story never gets made the way it deserves. Remember that octopus monster that attacks Frodo in LOTR? That's as close to Cthulhu as movies have gotten, and even that is nowhere near as cool as the story. Benecio Del Toro, if you're reading this, screw making the Hobbit, and get New Line working on a decent film version of Cthulhu.
