“Shit, dude, I’m sorry for knocking over your boat, I was kinda trying to spook you there, didn’t think it’d flip like that… anyways, man, you look like you could use some help, you lost out here?” -Coolthulu
The cthulhu isnt what triggered my thalassophobia. It was the raft going over and being in the deep dark water. Looking down into the abyss freaked me out 100x more than the cthulhu
A couple of years ago, I read an account of the Titanic sinking as told by one of the survivors and with just one or two sentences, it ended up being the most terrifying detail about the event I'd come across: The survivor was in one of the lifeboats in the middle of the ocean and though one would think the hundreds of people that had been screaming was the worst thing to hear, their voices quickly died out. Instead, they claimed that shortly after the ship finally vanished beneath the surface, _they could actually hear the ship implode from beneath them._ I would have lost my mind. Knowing that it was a two-mile journey to where it came to rest doesn't help either. I do want to say the last time I mentioned the account there was somebody that spoke up and argued whether the physics of the story were accurate and that the ship or any part of it wouldn't have imploded. Thoughts, anyone?
If I had to critique this artistically, I’d say you could make it scarier by showing less. Thalassophobia often is sort of encapsulated by the fear of the unknown and unseen, but when you see the monster it kinda takes the fear away a bit. So in that first bit instead of just appearing over the water almost in its entirety it could just be like 1 tentacle pops out and knocks the boat over and then when the guy falls into the water, you see like basically through the dark murky water almost just the blurry outline of it with the red eyes piercing through it.
this. it's always scarier when they show you less, unfortunately too many self-acclaimed horror writers don't seem to understand this. the fear of the unknown for example is what made the original backrooms genuinely morbid and horrifying before the fandom came in and fucked it with levels and "steps"
Something similar to this that proves your point is JAWS. The shark animatronic in the original movie didn't work too well when underwater, so they only got a few manageable shots out of it. Steven Spielberg decided that the lack of actual shark footage was better for the film because it added suspense and enhanced the "fear of the unknown" to the audience.
i was expecting the camera to turn away and then turn back to have cthulhu's head right next to the boat almost leaning in with no sound of it approaching. that would have made for a great jump scare
I don’t have thalassophobia, but I feel like it’s one of the more rational phobias to have, the fear of hopelessly floating over an endless void full of mysterious creatures is exactly what made Lovecraft’s work so popular lol. It wouldn’t be fun for anyone.
Ever since I was a child, I've occasionally had unnerving dreams of being in the middle of the ocean, diving deeper and deeper, terrified at the prospect of what the abyss may bring. This video feels like one of those dreams.
It's pretty good except Cthulhu is much larger and wouldn't be interested in a puny raft. If he killed you it's because he surfaced, took a look around, went back to sleep, and the tidal wave from him coming or going kills you.
@@ferdinand5223 you don't actually go insane from looking at cthulhu..or most lovecraft gods for that matter. The guy who rammed the boat into him was only shell shocked from the experience. And died of an unrelated accident later on. For instance.
Tbh Cthulhu isn’t the worst thing you could find out at sea. Meeting him would be rather enlightening, I’m sure. I wonder what mind breaking wisdom he’d impart. Or maybe he’d just squash you like a bug and move on.
@@Anghroth no one in cthulhu has this ability. if your brain can comprehend what you are looking at (which usually involves higher dimensions in lovecraftian lore) then you are usually fine. that said, "enlightening" isn't the term i'd use either LMAO
The only thing I'll criticize is Cthulhu moves too quickly for it's size without enough environmental reaction. He would feel bigger if he moved slowly with heavy momentum, or moved quickly but the environment reacted accordingly. Like some "normal" movements at large enough scale would require supersonic speeds so imagine the wind, sound, and force that would create.
Nancy the tavern wench is my favorite song. The huntmaster is also great. F***ed with an anchor is not to be overlooked. I might just like all there songs.
The animation is inaccurate. According to the book, Cthulhu is green jelly thing that deforms every second and doesn’t really have a certain appearance. The man would also hear “Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn” really loudly and see everything around deforming.
Isn’t the point of these horrors that they cannot be comprehended? Any representation would be inaccurate because humans cannot conceive of it There is no good depiction of Cthulhu but there is a popular culturally accepted one of big squid dude so that’s what you get
As the person above stated, it would be impossible for us to depict such a being in a standardized way like this. Witnessing an eldritch being like this would likely differ heavily for each beholder, their own understanding of the universe at large influencing how it comes into reality. Also, Nyarlathotep isn't done developing Elder God Photoshop yet, so the graphics would be hard to make
Cthulhu never bothered me… He’s always seemed chill, just posted up on the horizon thinking about life or swimming in the deep sea exploring nature and himself.
Inaccurate. The human mind can’t comprehend what Cthulhu looks like because any who’ve tried have gone insane. We’re just going off of interpretations. He could look like anything and we don’t know it
Stranded in the middle of the ocean is absolutely terrifying but at night and then being flipped into the jet black water 😮 sheesh bro you made my fear of the ocean Rise even more....... Truly fantastic
I don't understand the motivation here. What does Cthulhu have to gain from killing this one guy? It's like squashing an ant, you don't get much out of it. Just feels like a being of it's power would have more important stuff going on I dunno.
It's just a animation, of course it doesn't make sense cthulhu is even remotely here. Actually it could probably make more sense if the man wasn't eaten but just let see the monster, so he can convert and spread the word in the form of a cult. Anyways, it's a cool video.
@@blastard8980 I'm simply making an observation based on the context of the animation. It's art and art tells a story. I'm giving my opinion on what the story is presenting. Just because it's "just an animation" doesn't mean it can't inspire thoughts like how you've just made your own interpretation. It is a good animation, never said otherwise, but the idea (within the context of the animation like I stated in my original post) is a bit silly, at least in my interpretation, and I wanted to express that. Not trying to argue, but thought I should give my two sense. Have a good day.
that was great. I watch it at .75 speed, , even more horrifying. Looking forward to more of these. No one's really done a good one of Zoth-Ommog, one of Cthulhu's sons. His tomb is also in R'lyeh, with a huge statue of himself that apparently can come to life & he can manifest through it.
Very interesting video. I imagine Cthulhu being much bigger though, and the person in the raft would have gone insane from fear just being nearby cthulu. Even if he couldn't see it. At least that's how the lore goes
Imagine if you were actually alone out at sea and then THIS HAPPENED. I’m pretty sure if you didn’t go immediately INSANE, you would die of cardiac arrest from the sheer amount of FEAR and STRESS. Anyway, MAD PROPS to the animator. The pacing, atmosphere, and sense of tension/dread were all well-executed to the point that this ACTUALLY CREEPED ME TF OUT more than ANY modern horror movie I’ve seen.

Don’t stare into the abyss. After all, it stares back.

Me too, the raft flipping over and being thrown into the ocean was the scariest part of the clip.

Ever since I was a child, I've occasionally had unnerving dreams of being in the middle of the ocean, diving deeper and deeper, terrified at the prospect of what the abyss may bring. This video feels like one of those dreams.
The severe lack of splashing from Cthulhu's rising from, and falling beneath the surface of the water, affects me on a visceral level.
Oh really? It kind of took me out of the video tbh
Like in real life that would be terrifying, but here it just feels like they half assed it
@Batchall_Accepted That's what I meant lol. It feels half-assed and it "Affects me on a visceral level."

The moment you actually see Cthulhu, you're dead. Seeing it drives you immediately insane.

Good job. A genuinely cringed at that boat flip. As a kayaker I know that feeling all too well.
