Cthulhu.
What do you think when you hear that mysterious yet weirdly spelled name. Ancient evil rising from the depths of the sea? Tentacles unfurling, cold eyes surveying mankind’s world and seeing its destruction? Abominations from deep space? Tori Spelling fighting its evil, apocalyptic cult?
Wait. What?
Yep. Apparently Tori “My-Daddy-Had-Nothing-To-Do-With-My-Career” Spelling is starring in CTHULHU (why does it seem like it should have an exclamation point?), from Regent Releasing. Check out the website HERE. Go ahead. As ever, I’ll wait for you.
So…did you watch the trailer? All I could muster up was a shake of my head and a “wooooooow” of unutterable sadness. Looks pretty craptacular to me.
And not one tentacle did I see! Not one!
Granted, I might be coming down a little hard on it. After all, S.T. Joshi–who knows Lovecraft’s work better than anybody–says it’s the best adaptation to date. Hmm. Perhaps. Too soon to tell. I just can’t get over the Tori Spelling-ness of it all.
It’s supposedly coming out in theaters in August. Which probably translates to one theater in L.A., for one week, before it hits DVD.
Blech.
