Le Dia De Los @#$%ing Cthulhu
Um — I’ve never heard of this movie before, and even after watching the trailer I’m still not 100% sure I’ve heard of it. In fact, it looks like a pretty generic horror film for the first minute or so, minus the fact it stars non-English-speaking people (crazy, right? Can they even do that?!). But if you happen to watch until 1:20, you get a surprise, and that surprise is that this movie stars Cthulhu. Yes, he looks a little cheap CG-y and/or a little goofy, but still — motherfucking Cthulhu. I’d thank Xvi for the tip, but he went mad and tore out his own eyes shortly after sending me the email.
