A young clerk at a liquor store asks for his help in finding her brother, who she thinks the cult has taken.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Cthulhu moves H. P. Lovecraft's story from New England to the Pacific Northwest, and is notable among adaptations of his work for having a gay protagonist.
