Redhook - 2011 - 5/10
AKA - The Teeth Of The Stars

An joint mission between MI5 and Miskatonic U goes tits up.
A survivor tracks down Professor Redhook, trying to learn what happened, and what is happening.
The story, catastrophe if you will, is retold in flashback and clipped scenes.
Not quite as HPL as the creators would have you think, this resembles an X-Files pitch.
At 10 minutes (including credits) there is simply insufficient time to develop a narrative.
Too bad, for there are some OK ideas in this.
