Plot
Cthulhu spotted in ocean
Cast
Not really applicable, another short by Mr. Friend
Verdict
Another addition to my Top 10 Short Films from 2024 list, for now anyway. No it's not mind blowing, alike most Mr. Friend shorts it's fleeting and that damages it however it can't be disputed that the finale of this is positively haunting especially for a chap like myself who suffers from a degree of thalassophobia. The loneliness of the open water, the paranoia, the fear and the blackness. Horrifying, chill inducing, though I'm not keen on how Cthulhu looked.
Rants
What is it with Cthulhu, nobody ever does him justice. Movies, video games, shows, nothing ever does the big guy all the tools to be the mind melting villain he is. Then again saying that very few manage to pull of anything even remotely Lovecraftian. Why is that? Probably best Hollywood doesn't seem to have taken note of his works, can you imagine? Yikes, doesn't bear thinking about.
The Good
Impactful
Haunting finale
The Bad
Fleeting
Not keen on the appearance of Cthulhu.
