The last okay horror movie I seen was Open Graves. I made the mistake of watching Brightburn. I found it to be cruel torture porn. The Boys ( a t.v. show) does a better job of super heroes being jerks, it can be gruesome but it has that over the top vibe I like. I thought good horror and horror as art had died out so I switched to surrealism Mr. No Body, What Dreams May Come, Ruben Brandt the Collector, Loving Vincent, A Scanner Darkly ect.

It tried to have a deep story with multiple levels and tied up into a neat little basket at the end, but.... Literally nothing gets concluded by the end, and the director is hoping you're just so baffled that you forget about the other plot points. Truly a terrible excuse for a Lovecraft film.
@hyperbole10094 жыл бұрын
homegrowntwinkie Excuse me? The Void works great as a Lovecraftian Horror, perhaps a bit more gory than necessary, but nonetheless absolutely perfect. Just because the plot makes no sense doesn’t make it bad because it’s not supposed to: the enigma codes are endless which is vital for a Cosmic Horror Movie. The Void is the epitome of Lovecraftian Films. We follow a protagonist who knows nothing of the nature of the Void and as he slowly learns so do we. Remember, when we watch media we are an outward force looking into a new atmosphere, sometimes familiar but with alien qualities. We follow a protagonist, who like us, knows nothing but we watch the plot unfold together simultaneously, exactly like a Lovecraftian Horror Novella. That was such a strategic move that works so well for the film. The reoccurring imagery of the Sinister Black Triangle which is always there but conveys no meaning is so perfect. We know it’s something to fear so we fear it but with no conscious justification on why we should fear it, but simply because we have an instinctive compulsion to fear it, like the characters. In other words, to the normal person, the knowledge of the nature of the Void is unknown but our bodies still sense it because, in essence, it is always there, it’s another dimension that surrounds us and flows through our universe simultaneously but we just can’t perceive it, like From Beyond (The Lovecraft Novella). Speaking of which, have you read much of Lovecraft’s work? Do you understand the point of his work? The plots barely make any sense because it’s not meant to be comprehended by the reader who is presumably a human. Therefore the Void is watched like one would read one of Lovecraft’s book, the mythos used though is a far more modern interpretation of cosmic horror but still upholds the same values and ideals imposed by Cosmicism. It’s truly a Lovecraftian masterpiece and if you cannot appreciate it then you must be blind to the key concepts that makes the Void the most accurate of Lovecraftian Media.

I didn't like it as much as their previous effort, "The Call of Cthulhu", but it really does show you that sometimes less is more. Also agree that "The Resurrected" is one of the better commercial adaptions of HPL, or at least one of the most honest. The music was a little intrusive at times, but the storyline hewed fairly closely to the original, and the makeup & puppetry were properly grotesque & disturbing. I thought some of the rock-jawed acting by the protagonist a bit over the top, but overall I'd say this film was better than most of its kind.

I saw "The Haunted Palace" first-run at the Malco on Main Street in Memphis, Tennessee. It's typical 1960's Roger Corman drive-in fodder, a pastiche of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P Lovecraft. The plot is loosely derived from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" (making Curwen almost a sympathetic character!) but the title is from the Poe poem. In fact, the official advertised title of the film is "Edgar Allan Poe's The Haunted Palace." Corman believed that most of the appeal of a movie is in the title, since often that's all you see in the movie ads; and his target audience would get the implication since they were forced to read Poe in high school. But then, Poe and Lovecraft were pretty much kindred spirits; both were pretty much public domain; and neither was around to sue. On the plus side it had Vincent Price, Debra Paget, Elisha Cook Jr, and Lon Chaney, Jr. The costumes were good, too. The opening montage is the same as "The Raven" (also 1963) with Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and a young Jack Nicholson, and having very little of Poe except the title. Some of the sets were re-used in "The Terror" (also 1963), a retread of "The Fall of the House of Usher" with Karloff and Nicholson. Price and Paget were also in Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" (1956). In the hard-core trivia department, it's one of only two films to team up Vincent Price and Lon Chaney, Jr. The other is "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948); and in that, Price is voice-only as the Invisible Man at the end. (You can tell I haven't wasted MY life.) I missed the others in this list but I do remember "Re-Animator," either in previews or on TV. Thanks for the memories. www.imdb.com/title/tt0057128/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Some more recommendations: Die Farbe The endless Spring The Apocalypse trilogy by John Carpenter (The thing, prince of darkness and In the mouth of madness) The call of Cthulhu (2005) The Beyond From beyond Autumn Harvest The Lighthouse Alien The void Jacobs Ladder The Dunwich horro (1970) Annihilation Event Horizon Absentia The Mist No, not all of these have tentacle monsters or are direct adaptations but I think these capture Lovecraft’s brand of horror really well

The Call of Cthulhu (2005, directed by Andrew Lehman) was another great film that was faithful to the source material. It was made using vintage and modern filming techniques to reproduce the look of a 1920s-era film, and as such is a silent film. It is atmospheric and creepy, and only 45minutes long. Well worth the time to watch.

Love, love, love the Resurrected. Great creature effects and a genuinely fantastic creepy villain. In my opinion possibly the best Lovecraft movie. Necronimicon is...not. Decent effects that barely get shown off, and honestly just an overall lack of respect for the stories being adapted. The only real highlight is Jeffrey Combs as Lovecraft. Would have loved an anthology series with him in the role as the the host.

While not directly based on any of Lovecraft's works, the film Session 9 is definitely worth checking out. It's about an abandoned mental asylum in the woods of Massachusetts. It was actually a real asylum back in the day and Lovecraft himself even mentions in The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

@ghostly hills I didn't even catch that, though I was wondering if some of the newer movies I've seen on Netflix would be on here. The Ritual was pretty cool, The Void and The Endless were also some really nice new horror. The Void basically renewed my faith in horror movies of this kind, even though the actual monsters were not that great, I loved it's atmosphere and pacing.

I'd wondered if there was ever an adaptation of "Whisperer in Darkness", I have to find that movie now. It would be really cool as a classic movie, but the fact it was made in 2011 in the style of an old movie makes me so much happier for some reason. Of the stories I know, I think this may be my second favorite, only behind Dream Quest. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

''The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward" is the only feature novel I've read of HPL. I had not seen the R.Corman version(erroneously attributed to E.A.Poe) with Vincent Price, but I've no doubt it's much better than ''The Resurrected" with Chris Sarandon, though through no fault of the actors, director or producers. It's the story that is so difficult to adapt. Yet there's great potential in this tale of a presumed dead evil magician (Joseph Curwen) trying to revive himself through his descendant Charles Dexter Ward. I read the novel thoroughly, & what I found disturbingly missing is the callous indifference of HPL the author himself, to the loving concern of young Charles' parents for their suffering son ! And that I think, is the flaw in HPL's whole literary works : no human warmth.
