The Call of Cthulhu - Andrew Leman

The Call of Cthulhu is a rather true representation of the infamous Lovecraft story, although, compared to the literary work, a few trivial changes can be noticed. It has been produced by the Hp Lovecraft Historical society (Hplhs), whose activities concern all related to Lovecraft, generally the related live-action role playing game called Cthulhu Lives, but also consist of the production of films and music, and even the club of dedicated film festivals, thus creating a Lovecraft film genre.

The director Leman, one of the founding members of the Hplhs, presents us with a black and white silent era-style work, 45 minutes long, loosely based on the German 20's and 30's silent cinema pioneers. We cannot hear any dialogue, and only part of it is written on the title cards; the former classical score, composed by Troy Sterling Nies, Ben Holbrook, Nicholas Pavkovic and Chad Fifer, is haunting and it not only complements the story well, but it adds to the whole feel beautifully.. The imitation of the medium of the old film was achieved through a technique the producers call Mythoscope, and the 1920's audio thanks to Mythoponic sound.

Many of his quasi-maniacal followers have claimed this is the best Lovecraft film adaptation ever made, true both to the story plot and its non-linear narration, and to the heavy, ominous atmosphere; a result, this, achieved thanks to the choice of producing a work such as could have been made at the time of the publication of the story, in 1926.

Apart from the silent film imitation and the story by Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu is a great bad dream film and fans of the genre will as a matter of fact appreciate it for the dense and compelling atmosphere, rather than the gore, much like the modern Jap-horror films, such as Ringu and One Missed Call.

The Truth About H.P. Lovecraft, Cthulhu, and the Necronomicon

The Truth About H.P. Lovecraft, Cthulhu, and the Necronomicon

About 30 films have been based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Fans, from casual readers to wannabe Cthulhu Cultists, look for books by and about Lovecraft, but it's hard to find decent scholarship about the scholar of Weird Fiction. One of the few books that looks at the works of Lovecraft in an intriguing way is called H.P. Lovecraft and the Modernist Grotesque. This book puts the works of Lovecraft into a literary context that makes sense. Unlike most things about Lovecraft, written by Cthulhu - obsessed fans who believe the Necronomicon is actually the wisdom of the Old Ones, H.P. Lovecraft and the Modernist Grotesque is the Ph.D. Dissertation of an English Professor. He is a literary scholar first and a Lovecraft fan second, which means that he is less liable to fall into the same old patterns of sensationalism, delusions, and biography that overshadows actual literary analysis.

This dissertation could use a minuscule bit of polishing up - a few typos and a misspelled name (Ph.D. Students are under a whole let of pressure), but the foremost thing is that it does things that no other book about Lovecraft does, together with the identifying (and supporting) of a fully new literary type (the Modernist Grotesque), appropriate diagnosis of Lovecraft as a modernist, and specific study of Lovecraft's deconstruction of foremost institutions through saTire and depictions of logical fallacies. This book also discusses fan phenoMena like Cthulhu worshipers, hoax Necronomicon copies, and literary elitists' bias against fear-based fiction. After reading about Lovecraft for years, a have seen very few works that accomplish as much as this one in terms of actually developing an comprehension of Lovecraft's work. Some great biographies exist (Joshi's especially) but not sufficient true, classic literary criticism. In order for Lovecraft to be given the respect he deserves, we need real literary scholars analyzing his work the way they would analyze the work of any other great writer. That's why I like this book so much.
