Adapted from a story by H.P. Lovecraft. A Seattle history professor, drawn back to his estranged family on the Oregon coast to execute his late mother's estate, is reaquainted with his best friend from childhood, with whom he has a long-awaited tryst. Caught in an accelerating series of events, he discovers aspects of his father's New Age cult which take on a dangerous and apocalyptic significance.

Although not as scary and compelling as "dagon", Cthulthu does have a great feeling of tension and classic despair of Lovecraft's works. I totally was feeling dread as you weren't shown too much of the creatures that were in the movie. Left to the imagination. Great stuff!
