It's really well-done. One comment about it I saw really stuck with me. "Call of Cthulhu" is the sort of story that really couldn't be done properly with modern film-making techniques. So doing it as a faux-1920's silent film was really the best way to go, because you can overlook the production values (which are intentionally outdated) and concentrate on the story.

Not something I found myself needing to own, but definitely worth watching, and so I'm glad it's on Netflix. They were selling this at Origins, you missed your chance man. :)

I bought it myself a few years ago and absolutely think it is fantastic. I've had my friends watch it too and they all thought it was really well done. Too bad Hollywood can't produce a movie based around Lovecraft's writings as well as HPLHS has done on a shoe string budget with this movie. It is a regular on my must watch Halloween list. (Though you could and should watch it any time.) I also would highly recommend this DVD. I bought it myself a few years ago and absolutely think it is fantastic.

I own a copy of it myself. It was put out by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, and is quite faithful to the story! It is quite excellent! I own a copy of it myself. It was put out by the H.P.
