The Toronto After Dark Film Festival starts tomorrow night, ready to showcase 8 nights of solid horror and mayhem the likes of which you’ll find nowhere else. This is where you’ll first get to encounter The Last Lovecraft, a horror/comedy taking a pretty different angle on the age-old story of the Cthulhu.
Since it's an underground horror flick you probably aren’t going to recognize too many actors from the cast, with the exception of Martin Starr, who you SHOULD all recognize from Freaks and Geeks but will most likely be familiar with from his role in Knocked Up, having a face that looks like Robin Williams’ knuckles.
A new poster has popped up for the creature feature followed by the trailer, making this zany flick look like big fun and a wild ride. Hopefully it won't take too long for it to find its way off to DVD land. Scope out the material below and acquaint yourself with the tentacley goodness of the Cthulhu.
And just for good measure, the official synopsis of the film from their website:
Jeff, a down on his luck office worker finds out he is the last living relative of horror novelist H.P. Lovecraft. What he doesn't know is that Lovecraft's monsters are real and will soon threaten the very existence of mankind. Jeff and his best friend Charlie are forced to embark on a perilous adventure and they enlist the help of high school acquaintance, Paul, a self proclaimed Lovecraft specialist. Together the three unlikely heroes must protect an alien relic and prevent the release of an ancient evil, known as Cthulhu.
