Designed by Sean Branney in shimmering monochrome to simulate the original year (1926) the story was written, the Call of Cthulhu is an engrossing adaptation of one of the most famous of Lovecraft's classic tales of cosmic horror.
From the fear-infested Louisiana bayous to the non-Euclidean geometry of R'lyeh, the HPLHS brings Cthulhu to the screen as it was meant to be seen. Eighteen months of production and a cast of more than 50 actors went into the making of this film - a period spectacle that must be seen to be believed.

Die Farbe (The Colour) DVD

Die Farbe (The Colour) is a new German adaptation of 'The Color Out of Space' by HP Lovecraft, directed by Huan Vu. A young American goes on a quest to find his missing father. He returns to Germany where his father was stationed at the end of WWII and slowly uncovers the strange circumstance of how a meteor crash in a remote German valley made an alien impact that affects his family still today.

Die Farbe is in German - with some scenes in English - and the film is subtitled in English. It's shot in highly atmospheric black and white and, while it does expand on the story, on the whole it's quite faithful to Lovecraft.

Directed by horror master Terence Fisher, this black and white cult classic finally gets a Region 2 UK release. The Earth Dies Screaming opens with a frightening series of disastrous accidents, a train crash, multiple car crashes, a plane crash and ordinary people dropping dead in the streets.Hundreds, thousands, millions of casualties and not a single word of dialog has even been spoken yet! Aliens have invaded on a world wide scale! A small handful of survivors gather together in a remote rural English town to battle the Alien robots. On contact with the robots humans are transformed into rampaging zombies. With its haunting score and general creepiness this is a lesson of cinematographic economy and atmospheric invention worthy of this subversive and very talented director.
