Mouth of madness

It’s clearly a drawing of the climax in ‘Dagon’. Fuck Cthulhu redditors. Nyarlathochads stand up.

>when you nut but she keeps sucking

I liked the horror at red hook.

Del Toro doesn’t understand Lovecraft. He is just obsessed with the creatures.

>a giant, whale hunting fishman
>at the midnight and in an isolate island.

THat’s pretty terrible

>what is "In the Mouth of Madness"

Kill List had the atmosphere of Lovecraft, (dread, impending doom), and the cults similar to some of his stories.
Despite Pizza overexplaining and removing any sense of mystery after S1 aired, first season of True Detective also nails the “infinite, malevolent, unknown force” lurking within the environment and a few of the characters.
Del Toro’s script for Mountains is available to read online and it’s completely asinine. Christian allegory, a love story, a big action sequence with sailors VS Cthulhu. The guy would be perfect for creature design in a Lovecraft adaptation but should stay away from writing and directing.

>implying you know what lovecraft is about
You've probably never read more than 2 of his stories if anything at all.
All you stupid cunts want is le epic tentacle flying monsters.
And then when you get something like "The Void" it's still not enough because it wasn't what YOU wanted out of what you THINK you know about lovecraft.
Most of the horror is supposed to come from your own mind.
Film is not an appropriate medium for true lovecraft

The most Lovecraftian movie made so far is Cruising with Al Pacino. Consider how extreme and alien the gay leather culture was to most audiences in 1980. It's like a stand-in for one of Lovecraft's 1920s cults. In the spaces controlled by this "cult", things from everyday life are twisted in sinister directions, similar to how Lovecraft made gambrel roofs and elderly people objects of dread. Popular music that would be forgettable in other contexts is used to evoke forbidden desires.

In the story, an ordinary man has been tasked with infiltrating the alien space and stopping a mysterious killer. He goes through a typical Lovecraftian character arc, experiening sanity-twisting horrors before achieving his goal. But after the goal is achieved, it turns out that the horror is not gone. The style of the film implies that the "killer" is not one person but some kind of mysterious force haunting the gay bar scene. And in one part of the film the hero discovers a piece of writing that directly conjures Lovecraftian imagery.

Are the Lovecraft and Conan worlds connected? They share a lot of names and themes, despite being set 10,000 years apart.

I realize all the creepy atmosphere was symbolic and not to be taken literally, I still can't wrap my head over why many people thought a realistic detective show was gonna to jump the shark and made Nyarlatotep the main antagonist out of fucking nowhere

Both writers were pen pals so yeah.

giant gay space niggers

Howard name dropped some mythos names in a couple of his stories as a wink to Lovecraft. Authors in that genre did that shit all the time back then. Lovecraft based a character in one of his stories entirely off another author and then had him die at the end as a joke.

First and last 15 minutes are good for an action movie. Entire movie in between about a random nobody traveling and accomplishing nothing, while giant monsters fight in the background. Many times during said fights, we are treated to cutaways to even more random nobodies doing every day shit while monsters fight on TV in the background.

I get what they were going for, but lovecraft was not it. And they failed at their actual goal too.

>big action sequence with sailors VS Cthulhu.
Literally in the original text.

>The Thing is Le Lovecraftian because it has a monster
no
>Alien is Le Lovecraftian because it has a monster
no
>Jacob's Ladder is Le Lovecraftian because spoopy
It's Lynchian if anything and is literally a religious horror film

have you even read any lovecraft. it's not just muh tentacles

Annihilation is at least decent.

high-iq post

all you godzilla cucks should be executed

My all time favorite lovecraft story is the colour out of space.
It deals with a family going insane and eventually dying from what we would today call radiation. It's bleak, hopeless and quite grim. And it's greatest streangth is that it deals with a total unknown factor that is never fully explained. That is what cosmic horror is about. Things coming from other worlds that we can't clearly define or comprehend that kill us and make us fwel lile insignifigant little nothings.

All anybody wants when they say lovecraft is oddball tentacle monsters and elder gods from space bullshit.
Literally 99% of lovecrafts fans are like this as well. Ir's supremely depressing.

To me, movies like the thing and anihilation (to give mainstream examples that everyone here has probably seen) evoke true cosmic horror, but so many supposed fans pass on them because there isn't a giant with a tentacle beard in them.

Fuck this fanbase.

Live a happy and rich life user!

The only Lovecraft story I could see transferring to film is Dunwich Horror. Think they tried it in the 70s and it was shit.

I haven't read the original in a long time but im pretty sure the del taco script had them blowing up cthulu with dynamite and it was afraid of salt or something

Plebian detected.

Mountains of Madness could be cool

>never trully explained

But lovecraft explains pretty much everything in his stories. It's honestly why I love him. I wish people would fuck off with this "ooohh the unknown is scary" bullshit. Even the ones that boils down to "an ancient civilization did it" (honestly 70% of his work) are explained quite in lenght.

this
One of Lovecraft's main faults in his storytelling is that he doesn't know when to just leave it. His exhaustive and comprehensive approach is good for worldbuilding and lore autism but if you don't care about any of this then I imagine you would find his stories boring as shit

My nigga. That one still creeps me out due to how slow and inevitable it spread from the well.

Every time I stay at a hotel I think of Shadow Over Innsmouth.

I never expected that. Only the implication of an outside malevolent influence. Possibly an entity/entities worshiped by the cult using ritual and sexual sacrifice. Creatures don’t need to be shown in order for something to be Lovecraftian.

>no love for tentacles

His Mountains script.
Anytime he spoke of his Mountains project he only described the creatures. Anytime he talks a Lovecraft in general he only speaks of creatures. Never the themes of existential dread, the degeneracy is the human race, etc.

Cthulhu is only referenced once in Mountains. Never makes an appearance.

idk man that sequence presses all my buttons too

I’d argue Alien has a number of Lovecraft themes, especially when they stumble upon the Engineer. It alludes to an extremely bigger, unknowable, terrifying universe beyond the scope and relevance of mankind.

You would be run. Chad identifies himself no matter what. Beta chaff like you worry about whats chad and what isnt

My man. Yep. Every time there is a Lovecraft thread on Yea Forums it’s obvious who has read his work and who has not. The majority have not and are only familiar with the pop culture aspect, or have skimmed Wikipedia or perhaps one or two stories. All surface level. I always end up leaving the thread prematurely because I get so exhausted trying to explain the nuances of Lovecraft’s work to people who think The Void is “Lovecraftian kino” and that Del Taco should adapt Mountains.
It’s all so tiresome.

i think the thing is kinda lovecraftian just due to the power and implications of the monster. The idea that if it got out it could transform the entire world, and despite how horrific it appears and the fact that it kills and eats people its not a malevolent force, it just wants to consume. Makes it all the more scary that it can perfectly mimic a person.

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san! is pretty good. Although it is about Nyarlathotep taking on a human from so she can go to a Japanese high school.

I enjoy a lot of movies, and some of those movies are pretty shitty, but Kill List was legitimately one of the worse movies I’ve seen in a long time. NOTHING about it was “lovecraftian” in the least, and the fact that it gets mentioned in every lovecraft thread shows that Yea Forums has no clue what that word means

I would love a proper Dunwich Horror film. Because it's one of his stories that has actual depth and a massage. Not only that but it would take the least CGI so its harder to fuck up with bad effects.

Just two feds going to creepy small town America to investigate a murder and they get pulled into the shitty lives of the faggots who live in Dunwich while they figure out who killed the mutant kid, easy money on the cop drama train.

You don’t think a mysterious cult driven by an unknown malevolent force that looms throughout the narrative is similar to Lovecraft?
You don’t have to like the film but it captured some of his themes and moods quite well.

Fucking kill yourself

>mom said it's my turn to place xbox

Every once in a while Yea Forums has a good post. Thanks user I’m excited to check this movie out

And not to mention our lead is drawn into their world due to his greed (in Kill List it’s a thirst for wealth, Lovecraft a thirst for forbidden knowledge), and eventually gets so far deep he’s driven mad and there’s no turning back.

The music of eric zahnn, pickman's model, the outsider are all scary as hell, and all don't feature any gigantic tentacle monsters. Genuinely felt disturbed after reading those, especially pickman's model

>Oh my unimaginable horror

I agree, it's the closest we're getting of color

i want some fucking cats of ulthar and dream-questing to kadath movies

what director can even pull something so fucking ambitious

Because any creepy noir with sci-fi is Lovecraftian, in the sense of aiming to evoke a fear of the unknown. Lovecraftian isn't a genre, it's a style. And you can find that kind of imagery in so many popular films today. To give a simple example, the scene in Aquaman in which they get attacked on the boat by countless fish people had it in spades. You ignore what you get, and instead preach Lovecraft as if it were a religion. He didn't direct movies!

You are so fucking retarded it hurts.

>DUDE I SAW A SQUID IM GOING INSAAAAAAAAAAAAANE LMAO

>a fucking fish can get a handjob but you can't even get to hold hands with a girl

Post your Lovecraftian, then. It's not "indescribable" horror if it can be conceived visually and depicted via special effects. Nobody goes insane from watching these movies. A Lovecraftian tape in the sense that you want would, literally speaking, be the videotape from Ringu or something that explodes your retinas or puts you in a Victorian-era asylum after you see it.

It's all in the imagery, stupid. Cultic fish-people are Lovecraftian, squid monsters are Lovecraftian, finding out that you're descended from a literal ape (as you must be) must certainly qualify as Lovecraftian as well. Opening a portal to another dimension bringing tomahawk slinging indians into our world. Going on an expedition to Atlantis (or any other world separate from ours.

infinite keks

Cringe

samefaggot

the "Dagon" movie is just an adaption of Shadow over Innsmouth though

Horror being indescribably is a narrative copout. Lovecraft would be the first to admit this.

There was a german film of this recently, not sure if it's worth a shit.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH A NIGGER AIR CONDITIONING VENT WITH TENTACLES!!!!!!!!!

probably because something as equally repulsive was getting a handjob is what turned you on

Spring (2014) had a lovecraftian vibe

another adaption of Shadow over Innsmouth would do well I think, there was one being worked on a few years back that seemed to vanish with very little written about it
Shadow over Innsmouth has a good build up, great atmosphere, most of the exposition of the story is spoken aloud by Zadok, it has a good action sequence, and finally a good twist at the end

The fuck is this shit
