Check out "Dagon" from a few years back (it's actually an adaptation of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" )

... and the fan-made "Call of Cthulhu" black-and-white movie. Both are excellent:

I've seen "Dagon" a couple of times--it was surprisingly good. I hadn't been aware of either Cthulhu movie until last night--I'll be ordering the one you mentioned on DVD later today. Yeeha!

I bet you really like it. Definitely a labor of love from Lovecraft fans.

I was a fan of HPL for years before I realized we share a birthday.

Judging from the trailer, and the writer-producer's notes, the film doesn't bear much resemblance to HPL's long and carefully-crafted tale of increasingly horrific revelation that was the 'inspiration' ("The Shadow over Innsmouth" ). Never give good literature to Hollywood. And what's with the "gay-themed" crap?

What a coincidence... I just happened to have rented this on DVD from Netflix last week (Call of Cthulhu). It's short (only 45 min) but very well done. Also, it's a silent black-n-white film styled to look like it was made back in the 1920's when the tale takes place.

Apparently it's been turned into a PC game, too... http://www.callofcthulhu.com/

MORE Lovecraft news...

From there, we got right into his upcoming projects, how he's going to fit them in with his obligations to Cha Cha Cha (the production shingle he recently formed with buddies Alfonso Cuaron and Alejandro González Iñárritu), and the likelihood of AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS (have no doubt: he's firmly committed to making a huge-scale Lovecraft movie).

And I guess we talked about THE HOBBIT, too.
