This is the best adaptation of any H.P. Lovecraft movie ever made, either by fans or big studio. It's a silent movie, done in a style that makes it look almost as if truly made long years ago.
The script comes directly from the Call of Cthulhu story, with virtually no alterations whatsoever.
It has been done to look as an old movie (from the times when Lovecraft was alive), so the F/X department are appropriately rudimentary or done in modern media to replicate the original ones.
Direct influences to the style are Metropolis, Faust, and Nosferatu; 3 great silent movies.
