本作是H.P. Lovecraft原著短篇小说的忠实改编，并以20世纪20年代默片的风格呈现。
剧情简介：在料理已故叔叔的琐事时，一个男人偶然发现了一系列指向蛰伏在海底的古老恶魔的线索。传说中“繁星正点”之时到来时，它将恢复自由毁坏人类文明。随着调查的不断深入，这个男人接触到一个受离奇梦境困扰的艺术家，一个发现了崇拜“克苏鲁神”的古老邪教的警察，以及一群见到了克苏鲁真身而丧魂落魄的水手。

The Testimony of Randolph Carter is based on Lovecraft's "The Statement of Randolph Carter," with some additional story material lifted from other Carter tales, especially "Through the Gates of the Silver Key." The film was shot on VHS using home equipment in 1987. It was filmed at various locations throughout Colorado. Part of the budget came from The Colorado College Award in Literature, a grant to fund independent educational projects.
