Witness unspeakable horrors in this poster for The Last Lovecraft : Relic of Cthulhu, which is about to play at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival alongside other hotly anticipated horror flicks like The Last Exorcism, Robogeisha, and of course, The Human Centipede.
The story of a bunch of geeks who band together to fight Lovecraftian
sea creatures and stop them from ending the world, Henry Saine’s debut is already getting a ton of buzz as a horror/comedy to watch. It definitely looks like a much sillier take on the material than ever attempted before- whether that’s a good or a bad thing is all up to you.

The film is playing in Toronto tomorrow at 6:59pm, with cast and crew in attendance to do a Q&A and give out monster masks such as those featured in the trailer below. Check thelastlovecraft.com for more!

Mmm. Looks a little bit like geek humour aimed at a more broader audience to me. Like The IT Crowd. Not for geeks to laugh with, but normies to laugh at.
Could be pretty cool though I guess.
This looks horrible.
i'll watch the shit out of that shit
Looks like shit.
Didn't chuckle at all.
Any time I see "a loving ode" or "a loving tribute" to anything, I automatically read that as "amateur-hour crap, but we can tell they meant well."
Don't you need to make at least one definitive Lovecraft horror movie before you start making comedies about it? Because we haven't. Not yet anyway.
I chuckled a couple of times during that trailer. It looks dopey but fun. I'll give it a chance… on video. Doesn't really look worth the $13.50 I would have to pay at my nearest movie theater (Damn these L.A. ticket prices!). 99 cents at RedBox though? I'm there!
Looks like these guys watched Shaun of the Dead one night and figured they could do for Lovecraft what Wright did for Zombies. Except without any talent or comedy.
