This is by far the best film adaptation of Lovecraft's fiction I've ever seen. It's done in the manner of grey & white silent films but with better quality than that era could manage. The story was stuck to religiously and nothing was added for profit motive. My only suggestion would be to put two stories per disc since they're short. That might help more people than just hardcore Lovecraft fans decide to buy them.

Being a long-time fan of the Lovecraft stories, I have been nothing but disappointed with the attempts by Hollywood and others to put HPL's stories into celluloid (except for "Dagon", and even that is a little short of the mark). I was given this DVD as a gift, and have to say that I was skeptical of what I would find inside. But, after reviewing all the content on the DVD, and watching the film, I saw what I know many other reviewers see here. This film was nothing short of a labor of love from a group of dedicated HPL fans.
To me, as a fan of sci-fi and some horror genres, sometimes the only way you get a film that stands up is to have people with dedication to the original material be involved, and have control of what actually ends up in the release.
This film is an example of that.
So, while my review is short compared to some, I can say this. If you are a fan of indie film, and also a fan of HPL and his works, this film will not disappoint you in any way. It is true to the story, and the delivery of the story on film is nothing short of inspired.
Enjoy!!

One of the best Cthulhu movies I have ever seen. It manages to catch the feel and look of Lovecraft and combine it with a silent film. I highly recommend this DVD.
Rated by buyers -
The H.P.Lovecraft Historical Society's adaptation of the classis horror story The Call Of Cthulhu is probably the most clever and brilliant endeavor at trying to bring to cinema a story that most filmmakers would think almost impossible to film, and it is a successful one at that.
Using both a mixture of modern and early film making technique, the story is presented in a classic silent film format, using limited special effects, but loads and loads of atmosphere. The result is a dreamlike presentation that starts off as a mystery and ends as the ultimate in horror. The film also succeeds in filling in all the terror of this story into less than 47 minutes.
In an age where modern film makers rely on big name stars, tons of CGI effects, and in the case of horror, buckets of spurting blood, the HPLHS pretty much abandons all of that, and instead lets the story itself shine forth. It is very clear the people who made this film love and respect the works of H.P. Lovecraft. If The Call Of Cthulhu is just a taste of what they have in store in the near future, with more adapatations of classic Lovecraft horror stories, I can't wait to see what they plan of releasing next!

A superb adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's short story. Making it look like a 1920's silent film was a stroke of genius.
