"Call Girl of Cthulhu" on citypaper.com
An article about the film "Call Girl of Cthulhu" on CityPaper.com by Bret McCabe.
Throughout, the film dispenses Easter eggs for fans of H.P. Lovecraft, the early 20th-century American sci-fi/horror writer who wrote for pulp magazines but whose sense of terror permeates many aspects of contemporary horror. “I knew what it meant for something to be ‘Lovecraftian’ before I knew who H.P. Lovecraft was,” LaMartina says. “The fear of the unknown. Monsters. Unspeakable, indescribable, gross things. The hopelessness of humanity—these are themes that around his time period weren’t as widely explored. But if you look at horror films now, they’re everywhere.”
The article focuses on filmmaker Chris LaMartina and the struggle of being a "cult" filmmaker, along with some of the usual stuff about Lovecraft. I'd never heard of his previous film, a found footage feature called WNUF Halloween Special, but it sounds ok. Judging from the trailer, "Call Girl of Cthulhu" is more like Re-Animator then Call of Cthulhu. Which is ok as well.
