Sonic FF Ep 9:Frnds.Lk.These 4BUNNIE: Oh…my…stars.

She turns to Antoine whose expression can only be described as profound disgust. Whereas Bunnie is merely terrified, her counterpart is bugging his eyes and rearing with detestation, even his neck muscles tensed.
She looks back to the young girl who is now staring at the two of them intently with wide blue eyes.
Slowly, carefully she begins easing back inside her shelter.
Bunnie frowns, turns back to Antoine.

BUNNIE: My what a terrifying monster we have here.

Antoine can barely speech through his clenched teeth.

ANTOINE: Bunnie…that's a…a…

BUNNIE: A little girl. I know.

ANTOINE: No you st

MAX: Alicia…its time.

Sally's eyes begin to tear.

SALLY: Mom?

Alicia doesn't answer. Instead she reaches into a pouch at her side and pulls out a compact yellow pocket computer. She passes it carefully to Sally.

ALICIA: This is Nicole. If you need help, she will guide you, but only if you take very good care of her.

SALLY: Her?

Alicia smiles sweetly.

ALICIA: You'll see.

Sally takes Nicole in hand, still on the verge of breaking down but when she looks up it's with renewed courage. Just to have something of her mother's in enough.

OFFICER V.O: Whatever you're going to do, do it faster sir!

Thunder echoes menacingly in the dark.
The sound of gently falling rain swells...

FADE IN.

Ext. Plains – Night

In the midst of a grassy plain stands Mobotropolis, a towering high walled fortress surrounded by villages, farmsteads and gardens. The lights of a thousand windows glow invitingly. Smoke curls from a thousand chimneys.
Fireworks burst in colorful displays above the castle.
Suddenly a raindrop falls and strikes the city, causing the image of it and all the surrounding lands to shudder and b

Call of Cthulhu movie posterby *jarredspekter

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Dark

Fan-made poster, based on the novel by H.P. Lovecraft.
This is one of the finest examples of science fiction horror I think that's ever been written, competing even with Lovecraft's own weird tales. It has everything; a polar investigation, a mysterious diary, unraveling of an ancient civilization's secrets, a murderous cult, and all of it wraps in the grand daddy of all finales: the return of an elder god.
For some odd reason this story has never been picked up by a major motion picture studio. There have been plenty of homages to Lovecraft in movies like The Mouth of Madness and Hellboy, but the only narrative driven film based on the original novel was a low budget movie purposefully made to look like it was made in the black and white era, including no dialogue, as well deliberately cheesy music, acting, and special effects.

Even weirder there was recently a movie released called Cthulhu, but it turned out to be a metaphorical movie about being homosexual. [link]
Why?
Call of Cthulhu deserves a full budget overhaul, top of the line special effects, and the best actors money can buy. This isn't a narrative meant only for art films. If anyone bothered to read the story they'd discovered a classic adventure in the vein of the best English novelists, intermingled with terrific atmosphere, sprawling events and locations, sympathetic characters, all of it building to a jaw-dropping climax. This is horror in the truest sense; good people in harms way so, supernatural foes that cannot be fought only held at bay, secrets so dark they drive men mad who try to fathom them. Its dark but also satisfying, ends ambiguously but with a vigorous shake of mankind's fist to the cold stars above.
I hope some day someone takes this work in hand and gives fans like me what we've always dreamed of; Cthulhu on the silver screen

I just read the story, and liked it alot. If they made a film they would have to flesh out the story a little more. But it could definitely could work!

Sadly I see this movie getting dumped on like nobodies business and performing poorly in the box office before making it as a gem on DVD.

Hmm...I honestly don't see how.
Did you see EVERY movie released in the last few except The Dark Knight, Ironman and maybe a few others have done poorly? Even A Christmas Carol did worse then expected.
I think people want adventure and sweeping stories and action again

~Phagetaru Nov 11, 2009

Yeah, but Call of Cthulhu is more of the mystery/Monster Horror genre isn't it? Especially given how subtly they have to play the special effects. Not to say it doesn't have drawing power of course.
