Confidential to Glenn in Portland

[jfb]

One of my favorite movies at Cinequest this year was The Call of Cthulhu, a faithful new adaptation by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society in the style of a 1920's silent movie (although, unfortunately, with a synthetic orchestra playing the score).  Actually, looking at the web site, I guess it premiered in Portland three years ago, so this is old news.  Anyway, I enjoyed it, and it's available on DVD.

I saw it at SIFF last year or maybe the year before. I thought that the silent film approach was great for the story within a story narrative.

Thanks.

I was hoping to see it in the theater when it came out. Then I thought it looked really cool when I saw the stills on film_stills ("What? Is this a silent film? But it looks so oddly modern...") I bought the DVD back in October, but still haven't watched it.

Maybe after I fix my network.
