Hi everyone, I'm Callum the writer and director of The Statement 👋 Making this film wasn't easy and we've learnt a lot over the years making this. I just wanted to say how proud I am of the whole team and what we managed to achieve. Enjoy!

An up-to-date re telling of The Statement of Randolph Carter. Excellent!

Few observations / questions

1) I have the exact same backpack. Is it the olive or the tan version in the movie? Hard to tell with B&W

2) Was the movie inspired by the Lovecraft novellas "The Statement of Randolph Carter" and "The Call of Cthulhu"? Kinda got those vibes

Great work overall

Not easy to properly do cosmic horror, imo. Showing cosmic horror is even harder (especialy on a budget), because it's supposed to insipre madness, things beyong human comprehension. So, I prefere to not see, like you did, rather than seeing something that is "just" a monster / demon. Witnessing the horror and the trauma in the eyes of a good actor was a good choice.
