The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu

The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu is a 2009 indie comic-horror based movie using characters and elements from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. It sees Charlie and Jeff (the last member of the Lovecraft bloodline) get thrown into a battle between two ancient cults; as they must defend an indestructible artefact that will bring doom to the world if it falls into the wrong hands. Along the way they meet up with a nerd that lives with his grandma, a creepy motel owner, a ship captain in the middle of the desert and the main antagonist Starspawn.

It's more comedy than horror and will definitely appeal to fans of campy horror and Lovecraftian lore.
