I know this is REAL LATE but I just saw this. Opinions run the full gamut on CTHULHU (I wrote and produced it) and it seems to be a love-it or hate-it kind of film (some of the more well-known 'lovers' include James Longley, Gus Van Sant and David Schmader) but I will say a couple things in its defense: the projection on opening night was a mess, the reason for the 'bad lighting' and the flickering in the frame; and I didn't hear anyone at all laugh at anything they weren't supposed to.
