Film Filter: Off - The Call of the Cthuhlu

The Call of the Cthuhlu (2005)


Matt FoyerJohn BolenRalph Lucas

Film Filter: On- When a young man is required to settle his great-uncle's estate, he stumbles upon a quest to find answers to his great-uncle's search of the Cthuhlu.  This takes him on a journey to the past, present, and future, as he travels far and wide to stumble upon the answers he great-uncle sought.  As he delves deeper into the history, though, he must decide for himself at what point does he know too much?
Things to note: Filmed in Mythoscope to make it look like it was filmed in the 20s, is a silent film, only 47 minutes long, very antiquated "special effects" and settings, only subtitled when necessary.

This, again, falls into the category of films that I didn't 
particularly care for, but merit a solid rating.  


You'll like this movie if you enjoy:
Silent horror films like Nosferatu or Frankenstein.

Film Filter: Off - Red State

Red State R (2011)


Michael ParksMelissa LeoJohn Goodman

Film Filter: On- When three teenage boys find a local online advertisement for sex, they are eager to participate.  Once they meet the woman, however, their plans change.  Falling victim to a trap from members of their local Westboro Baptist Church, the boys realize they were never meant to receive sex from the woman, nor were they ever meant to leave.  The three boys must figure out a way to escape the cult-like ceremony they are meant to be sacrificed for, before they become victim to the crazy minister and his congregation.
Things to note:- directed by Kevin Smith, good acting, storyline that is different, unpredictable

I wasn't actually the biggest fan of this film, but on its merit 
I do recommend that you watch it
