"Forlorn Hope" Trailer

The trailer below is for an amateur film entitled "Forlorn Hope," which follows a small group of Swedish soldiers in the Thirty Years' War as they clash with a Lovecraftian horror. If it lives up to its description, then this will definitely be one of the most historically unique environments Lovecraftian horror has yet visited in film or elsewhere. Moreover, it's truly an idea whose time has come. War, the mournful isolation of the 17th century (at least from the modern view), and dark forests are three strong catalysts that could produce a numbingly powerful Lovecraftian elixir, when combined with HPL's breed of horror. Of course, we won't know until this movie, which is planned to be about 40 minutes long, appears in the flesh...or film, as it were. However, Lovecraftians and history buffs may wish to track this picture well ahead of its release.
