Not creative enough.
Carter Williams
Color Out of Space is unironically recent Lovecraftian kino, better than The Lighthouse
Ethan Thompson
Christopher Morales
also.
Liam Scott
My guess: because what makes his writing work is his ability to use the readers imagination to generate the horror rather than putting it explicitly on the page. It’s more difficult to do this in film. Weird fiction is difficult to adapt into cinema while maintaining the same “effect”.
Thomas Watson
as fun as they are i don't think they are good adaptions
Benjamin Ward
the word you're looking for is accurate. good and accurate don't mean the same thing.
Jacob Walker
Decent pseudo-adaptation: "Cast a Deadly Spell" was a made-for-HBO movie based in Lovecraftian mythos, set in 1940s era LA where magic actually works: imdb.com
There was a sequel as well (called "Witchhunt" IIRC), don't bother with that unless the first made you spurf in your drawers.
Sebastian Taylor
Are we posting our dream adaptations? I want At The Mountains of Madness with Jon Hamm as William Dyer, Iwan Rheon as Danforth, and Willem Dafoe as Professor Lake.

Leo Evans
For some reason I though a cure for wellness was based on a lovecraft story
Isaac Hill
Correct, and The Endless while homely to look at paid homage to the spirit.
Christopher Foster
Why would they want to? He's not that well known and the content of his stories aren't very good. He's influential for his pioneering of fear of the unknown, which has gone on to be done better by numerous other writers.
The fact he was a huge racist probably turns them off him.
Anthony Rodriguez
>The fact he was a huge racist probably turns them off him.
Turns me on, though.
Nicholas Murphy
The only good story he wrote is The Hound
Jonathan Long
True Detective s01
Mason Jones
No
Ethan Hernandez
William Morales
This one was pretty good.
Connor Cook

What's wrong with the Stuart Gordon adaptations of Reanimator and From Beyond? They're schlock, yeah, but that's appropriate. Lovecraft's writing is schlock.
Or are you a zoomie who hasn't seen those films?
Nicholas Cook
who would you cast as nigger man? i'd probably go with either jason sudekis or maybe a CGI harry dean stanton
Joshua Hill
Dagon (2001) you smelly nigger.
Easton Richardson

Bentley Kelly
Hollywood can't cast niggerman
Connor Smith
can someone name a "lovecraftian" black/white movie from recent times I saw, it was about unspeakable things in a small town outside a larger town/city, there was a professor and a woman
Maybe it was about frogs but I'm not sure
Luis Reed
Mike Myers doing a blackface version of his Cat In The Hat.
Leo Rogers
This movie inspired RE4
Ian Clark
sunless seas is an extremely great lovecratian inspired game
highly recommended to anyone who doesnt mind reading and loves exploration
Oliver Price
and he points at trannys in the street screaming "its a man, baby!" in the austin powers voice but no one can hear it except for lovecraft. kind of like the cat from sabrina the teenage witch. hijinks ensue. now THAT'S a movie.
Liam Flores
They don't actually understand the esoteric existentialism he's metaphorising.
Ian Hill
oh and dont bother with sunless skies, the writing quality dropped like 70% and they focused more on some shitty tumblr companion romances like dragon age games
but gameplay is still nice
Brayden Kelly
Someone please post Lovecraft and his cat doing the reddit basedlord pointing at cthulu
Robert Foster
Writers name their cats gay shit now
Thomas Diaz
>fear of the unknown, which has gone on to be done better by numerous other writers
Who?
Hunter Lee
Based user, that was an amazing game
David Lopez
Whenever people talk about Lovecraft adaptations they mean his cosmic horror mythos stuff, not his standalone monster/creature pulp stuff
Elijah Wood
Color out of Space was good. Pretty freaky too.
Isaiah Edwards
shit is dope as fuck.
Jacob Anderson
>He's not that well known
Are you retarded? He's as well known as Google. His name is an adjective.
Angel Cook
R.L. Stine with his magnum opus "The Horror at Camp Jellyjam."
Nicholas Ross
Call of Cthulhu dark corners of the earth
Can't be topped
Camden Turner
The Ninth Gate has Lovecraftian undertones. So does Evil Dead.
David Collins
>his horror is effective because he lets your imagination fill in the blanks
>twitter/reddit found out he was a hecking racist (he was actually fairly progressive for the time but can't let the zoomies know the world wasn't always a globohomo dystopia) when after twenty years of loving le hecking octopuss man one of them actually read something by him and saw the nigger word. Now most people who make something from his work a deranged cultists trying to piss on his grave.
Charles Jenkins
The reddit can't help reveal himself, nor can he help revealing his lack of intelligence.
Hudson Lopez
>they mean his cosmic horror mythos stuff, not his standalone monster/creature pulp stuff
They are one and the same. The mythos stories always involve monsters at some point. Call of Cthulhu, Shadow Over Innsmouth, etc. They all eventually become creature features.
Robert Gray
Pic Related is the best Lovecraft movie, and it isn't even based on his work.
Leo Hughes
>blocks your path
Luis Nguyen
horror is not meant to scare you.
David Walker
When something is good and popular but not a decent movie was made off, you know something is off. So ask the question:
>how Lovecraft offends the jew
And you will know why they never made a good movie based on his books, just ripoffs and "homages".

Xavier Campbell
Lovecraft is wholly incompatible with 2020's Hollywood because Lovecraft's central theme is that foreign and ethnically mixed things are evil abominations, while Hollywood's thesis is that those same things are objects of worship.
Liam Wilson
Hence why Mel Gibson is still allowed in Hollywood and even made extremely well received movies like Hacksaw Ridge, right? Dipshit /pol/tard.
Levi Evans
The Ressurected (1992)
Oliver Phillips
>Lovecraft's central theme is that foreign and ethnically mixed things are evil abominations
>Why yes, I post on reddit every day, how could you tell?
Liam Cox
>no good Clark Ashton Smith adaptations
Shame, really.
Julian Powell
It's not /pol/, is reality. Hollywood is a bunch of spoiled american jews running shit like their parents still paying their bills, and a lot of times they do. Mel still has a lot of friends, a big name and lot of talent so he can still pull something every decade, but you see all of this is because of ONE movie, that maybe told a true story that make jews look bad. If not for Passion he would still be loved. So again, ask yourself how Lovecraft offends the rich kid jew, and you will find why there are no movies, specially big movies, to his name.
Also just for you to know, Hollywood jews are a totally separated race from the rest of jews in the world. Israeli jew, NY jew and Hollywood jew, those fuckers are insane and even other jews despise them and their bullshit.
Matthew Ortiz
They literally made a color out of space movie a couple years ago
