I greatly enjoyed the HPLHS retro-silent Call of Cthulhu, so I bought this disc without watching the movie first. Though it’s not quite as good as the previous effort, I’m still far from sorry that I spent money on it. The template here is Golden Age Hollywood horror, and they don’t stick as closely to the aesthetic this time around. However, the story is still a solid adaptation of the source story, which just happens to be one of my favorites from the Lovecraft catalog. The ending is weak, but the rest of the production is excellent. Worth seeing
