P. Lovecraft.It is a period piece conceived as being the movie that might have been made if Lovecraft had signed a movie deal in 1927 when the story was written; a silent film, in black and white, with cardboard backdrops and a stop-motion Cthulhu.In the year 1927, a man now interned in a mental institution recounts his efforts in researching a network of cults based around the worship of an ancient, dormant god whose dreams inspire madness, insanity, and mass murder around the globe.

Alien Geometries: In the story, R'lyeh is said to defy any known dimensions, to the point where the sailors can't tell if a door is supposed to be a conventional door that opens horizontally, or a trapdoor that opens vertically, and a sailor is killed by Cthulhu when he fails to get past a corner which appears to be acute but acts as if it was obtuse. This is downplayed in the movie due to the low-budget 1920s style, though strongly alluded to with frequent shots of strange angles, and there is a scene wherein a victim falls into a crevice which an optical illusion has led the audience to believe is a convex crag of rock.
