Cthulhu (2007)

I did an interview for Fiend magazine with the writer/director, Dan Gildark, of this movie and it left me with high expectations. Gildark was articulate and sold Lovecraftian aspects of the film well. How depressing it was to finally see Cthulhu. It was an exercise in tedium. How could Gildark take something as good as HP Lovecraft and make something so mind numbingly weak. It is painful to watch it. The scariest thing in the movie is the thought of Tori Spelling wanting to sleep with someone. That is the stuff of nightmares.
