Plot:
Written in 1926, just before the advent of "talking" pictures, The Call of Cthulhu is one of the most famous and influential tales of H. P. Lovecraft, the father of gothic horror. Now the story is brought richly to life in the style of a classic 1920s silent movie, with a haunting original symphonic score. Using the "Mythoscope" process ~ a mix of modern and vintage techniques ~ the filmmakers have worked to create the most authentic and faithful screen adaptation of a Lovecraft story yet attempted.

I basically found this one to be more on the weird side. But to be fair I really should give it another chance as I did have to get up and miss some of it. Between that and having a bit of trouble keeping up with the subtitles... so needless to say I wasn't able to take it all in. But there I did get to see some pretty good scenes in with what I found to just be weird. Though I do think it is worth giving another chance and hopefully that would raise my rating a bit.

A fine example of why Red Dwarf was a great series.

By traveling to the past, the Red Dwarf crew accidentally prevent the assassination of JFK. This results in a major crisis for the future of the US, as JFK's affairs became public knowledge during his presidency and was impeached. Edgar J. Hoover became president, but was controlled by the Mafia because they had pictures of him cross-dressing.
Now the Red Dwarf crew has to put things right and we learn, who the second gunman was:
