Wikipedia article
'Call Girl of Cthulhu' is a 2014 independently made horror film from Midnight Crew Studios that was directed by Chris LaMartina and stars David Phillip Carollo, Melissa O'Brien, and Nicolette le Faye. The film was distributed by Camp Motion Pictures and had its world premiere on May 8, 2014 at the Maryland Film Festival.
An artist falls in love with a woman who ends up being the chosen bride of Cthulhu. The film is very loosely based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft.
'Call Girl of Cthulhu' makes reference to LaMartina's 'WNUF Halloween Special' via the Shining Trapeze Strip Club, which is featured in a commercial shown during the film.
Virgin artist Carter (David Phillip Carollo) wants desperately to lose his virginity, but only to the right person. He thinks he has found the right person in Riley (Melissa O'Brien), a call girl with a strange birthmark on her right buttock.
Carter's dreams of romance are soon ruined, as several Cthulhu-worshiping cultists of the Church of Starry Wisdom see this birthmark as a sign that Riley is destined to become the bride of Cthulhu and bear his child.
It is up to Carter, aided by Edna Curwen (Helenmary Ball) and Squid (Sabrina Taylor-Smith), to find a way (with the aid of a spell from the 'Necronomicon') to stop the cult from fulfilling their plan to mate Riley to the Great Old One.
