The Stranger

(SIFF FILM) Based on the cult H. P. Lovecraft story, The Call of Cthulhu is a fine example of creativity trumping—actually, outright spanking—a lack of funding. A mere 47 minutes long, director Andrew Leman's film takes its style from the early silent greats, crafting a gorgeous, haunting, pitch-perfect mini-epic. Short films rarely get me excited; this one had me giggling. Shows with the shorts The Radium Follies and Terra Incognita.
