Cthulhu The Movie Officially Sucks

Late last week, I wrote about Tori Spelling’s new Cthulhu movie, which had been refashioned by the producer and director into a gay metaphor with polar bears. Boy, did it sound stupid.

Cthulhu_1Late last week, I wrote about Tori Spelling's new Cthulhu movie, which had been refashioned by the producer and director into a gay metaphor with polar bears. Boy, did it sound stupid.

It appears I'm not the only one who thought so. An anonymous member of the Cthulhu production team wrote in to tell us that the movie... hmmm. Well. Totally sucks.

I worked on this film and I can honestly say the entire crew (yes, theentire crew) thought it sucked. The script was too verbose and didn'tmake sense, the first-time director CLEARLY didn't know what he wasdoing and the producers were too scared of losing former monorailinvestor $ to fix the above. AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS! Also, forwhat its worth, I don't think Tori Spelling should be given "star"
status for only being on screen for 5-10 minutes of the film.

Heck, we don't think she should get star status for pretty much anything. Another example of monorail investor bigwigs getting in the way of honest Lovecraftian enthusiasm. Don't go see Cthulhu, people.
