A horror film shot in Astoria, Oregon, "Cthulhu," is now available on DVD (March 31, 2009). Based on a H.P. Lovecraft novel the film looks to build intensity through mystery rather than splatter or gore. Also, "Cthulhu," stars surgically enhanced Tori Spelling from "90210," fame. The first trailer is available and "Cthulhu," seems to focus on the romantic liaison between two childhood friends, with a New Age cult the bonus.
A large cast of characters makes up for the film and apparently Grant Cogswell, executive producer, sold his home in order to make this picture. So, surely there will be passion in the film, but will the addition of homosexual characters deter mainstream viewers? Receiving only moderate praise, from reviewers, viewers will have to decide whether to pay attention to this film, with a modest budget of $750 K, in a sea of straight-to-dvd or limited released films.
The synopsis...
Adapted from a story by H.P. Lovecraft.
