Dark gods, hopelessness, and madness. You know, for kids!

I actually tried watching this movie once (I really like HP Lovecraft). Only made it like 30 minutes in.

...this movie had sequels?

The concept honestly isn’t the worst in the. Lovecraftian fiction can be surprisingly pliable. I heard someone did a spin on Terror At Red Hook that rebukes some classist elements in the original. Some people say the Shape Of Water is a subversion of the Lovecraft story about a town of fish people. But seriously a setting with nothing but ice? R’lyeh is supposed to filled with strange buildings designed with bizarre geometry. And a giant staircase leading to the door Cthulhu emerges from. And if they wanted to use Cthulhu but make him a kind of pet monster, either make a shrinking spell part of it, or make the thing his offspring. And if you need a scheming royal as the villain, why not Nyarlathotep? Trying to mind control Cthulhu would be pretty in character.

What, was 'Edgar Allan Poe's Voyage to Candyland' too ridiculous for them? How about 'Mary Shelley's Magic School Bus' or 'Bram Stoker in The Big Balloon Adventure'?

Yeah I was SUPER bothered by how R’lyeh looks. And not in the right way. Also what the hell where they thinking with not-Abdul? Literally the name is the only part right
