Told in the style of a classic silent horror film, The Call Of Cthulhu is a faithful adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's famous story about a man who inherits a collection of documents pertaining to an ancestor's research on the Cthulhu Cult. As the man studies the documents, he begins to uncover the dreaded secret of a great evil at work, involving ancient sea creatures waiting to rule the world. Spanning several decades and taking place all over the world, The Call Of Cthulhu is equal parts adventure, suspense and horror. The film impressively utilizes many old-fashioned in-camera visual effects, along with a powerful musical score and black & white cinematography.
