Most of “H.P. Lovecraft’s”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.P._Lovecraft best works with something that is maybe a little odd, becomes decidedly strange, and then slowly descends into madness.
That pretty much described my reaction to seeing that 1) there was a film supposed to be released this year called _Cthulu_, based on Lovecraft’s “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” (though the screenwriter seems to be suggesting “in this interview”:http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=23128 that gay people are more aware of the horrors of small-town life than us straights, which seems somewhat myopic), 2) it had Tori Spelling in it.
