Hi Mogora:
Thanks for posting that review! Funny, but I spoke to Sarah Mason, Associate Producer over at Lurker Films this last Friday and she confirmed that it was unlikely that
Cthulhu would be shown at the H.P Lovecraft Film Festival for many of the same reasons mentioned in that review: the filmmakers were just riding on the coattails of HPL's fame to make their "personal statements".
That "shoggoth"(?) looks like an ambulatory killer tumbleweed that was dipped in a vat of Day-Glo paint, something a Zippo lighter should easily be able to dispatch. Somehow I feel like paroxysms of laughter rather than lymph fluid freezing in my glands is the appropriate response to all this . . . .
I hate it when they use him and his works like that! And, apparently, so does Andrew Migliore, Producer over at Lurker Films. Poor HPL . . . . the stars are not yet in the correct alignment for a proper adaptation . . . .
