Trivia:
In the scene at the dock, watchful viewers will notice the stern of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter 'Alert' as the camera pans toward Russ and Zadok. The Alert just happened to be docked where the scene was shot, and the cinematographer lined up the shot so the name of the boat was visible, but no one noticed until editing that the name of the cutter was the same as the ship in H.P. Lovecraft's story 'The Call of Cthulhu'.See more »

Worth watching, 9 June 2009
Author: BruddanChrist from United States

The acting is fair enough. There are moments when overacting and underacting bring scenes down, but nothing is ruined. I liked the editing, for the most part. There are times when it makes the story hard to follow, but overall it's well done. The cinematography is beautiful.

My only real gripe with the movie is that the plot is a bit thin. A lot of things happen that feel ultimately irrelevant, and other things happen without much explanation. The conflict gets lost in all the random happenings, which adds to the difficulty of following the story.

I'm not sure where all the hatred for this movie comes from. It wasn't a great film, but it certainly wasn't horrible. The story felt stretched and a bit convoluted, and the title is misleading since the movie has virtually nothing to do with Cthulhu, but I feel like I have to give props to the director for making the film he made. He easily could have made a weightless horror movie with cheap scares, but he attempted something a little meatier.
