Written in 1926, just before the advent of "talking" pictures, "The Call of Cthulhu" is one of the most famous and influential tales of H.P. Lovecraft, the father of gothic horror. Now the story is brought richly to life in the style of a classic 1920s silent movie, with a haunting original symphonic score. Using their own "Mythoscope" process - a mix of modern and vintage techniques - the filmmakers have strived to create the most authentic and faithful adaptation of a Lovecraft story ever attempted. A dying professor's strange bequest leads his nephew on a globe-spanning investigation to unravel a twisted knot of fear, madness, nameless cults and horrors best left unknown.
