At the Mountains of Madness Animated Film

In the wake of Guillermo del Toro's inability to produce a Hollywood version of H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness," others will inevitably step forward and try. Cthulhu Films is one contender. This half hour animated adaptation of Lovecraft's infamous story mixes 3-D and 2-D effects to recall the ill fated Antarctic expedition. The dialogue is in Italian, so English listeners need to turn on the subtitles.

Animated representations of this story have been on the rise in recent years, probably due to the extreme difficulty of faithfully reproducing the harsh environment and strange beings in live action. This film's aesthetic is reminiscent of Ian Culbard's handsome At the Mountains of Madness graphic novel.
