At the Mountains of Madness - Short Animation Movie

[@jamiebraswell5520]

Pretty good adaptation overall, though I wish you wouldn't have cut the defining moment where Danforth looks back as the plane leaves the mountains and sees something that horrifies him, something that affects him forever more. It wasn't the Shoggoth that drove him mad. There was an area to the East (if I remember correctly) that the Elder Things feared, and I have always wondered if it was Kadath itself (which resided in the East in the Dreamlands). If so, Danforth may have witnessed a horrific form of Nyarlothotep himself.

[@caleshriver134]

Agreed… and very cool take on what Danforth saw when he looked back over the mountains. I always imagine he had flashes of all the different Lovecraftian Gods,Nyarlthotep included.

[@grumpyturtle9682]

Spartiatai300 Then I'll just have to choose another one, there's plenty to choose from.

[@bocNic1]

+Spartiatai300 May be a little late to respond but the studio he was tied to at the time said no unless it was PG-13. This was after Don't be Afraid of the Dark received an R rating and Del Toro felt uncomfortable giving that promise as he thought Don't be Afraid of the Dark would get a PG-13 rating and Mountains has 2 scenes that initially would be depicted graphically. Del Toro also spent a good amount of time researching and cutting the budget down to something more appealing. With all that said he put Mountains on the backburner, focusing on The Strain, Silent Hills (which didn't happen but gives an opening for Del Toro and Kojima to work together on a different project maybe InSane), and he went on to direct Crimson Peak which is coming out later this year. Del Toro plans to go on to Pacific Rim 2 and he is hoping to finish Hellboy with it's third installment if PR2 does well. Del Toro pretty much accepted that Mountains may not happen right away but he still wants to make the adaptation.

[@bocNic1]

There are a lot of factors at play here, but ultimately I don't think Del Toro is the type to just drop a dream project. We'll hear him talking about Mountains again, just not right now. Del Toro runs into a niche category, he has a lot of fans but his movies do not start making a profit until after the theater run. That is something a production company does not like hearing. With a career running like that it is hard for Del Toro to get his own projects up and running like he'd like to, so he is forced to shop around ideas, for the most part it seems to work, Pacific Rim 2 is getting made and if that does well then Hellboy 3 would be in the works and if that does well he can get another project running. I want to see Del Toro succeed and make these projects without the hassle and as a Mexican it is lovely and inspiring seeing a Mexican director's name up there and respected by so many people. As for Prometheus, I would be foolish defending that movie, it's tripe.

H.P. Lovecraft lived in the past but mentally he was a thousand years ahead of his time in seeing the implications of knowledge. He could see the horror possible in an impersonal universe but others mostly just pretend to.

[@cheezemonkeyeater]

No, Lovecraft was pretty firmly rooted in the knowledge of science from his time. Interpretation of some of his work suggests he may have guessed at a few things, but mostly he was just writing about the science of his day. Problem is, we don't teach most of the science of his day in schools. We haven't taught any of the major scientific discoveries that have come up since 1857. Lovecraft wasn't ahead of his time, we're behind his time.

the architecture of the elder things (?) was very well done. its pretty hard to imagine alien architecture (although not really alien but just earlier inhabitants). i guess all that stonework is what cyclopean means. i was disappointed they left out the giant albino cave penguins at the end haha. what wasnt described that well was whether they created a giant shoggoth to beat the cthulu monsters. but i guess they did as cthulu went into the sea. i like the nyalathotep bit at the end.

[@rangda_prime]

While certainly having very low production values and being an amateur work, this short film none the less has moments where it really captures the raw cosmic horror of Lovecraft's work.

Wow! You guys did REALLY well on the "short version" of *At the Mountains o Madness*! The depictions of the city and the Elder Things and Shoggoths were really good. Only one thing seemed a little off and that was the depictions of Dyer and Danforth. At the time that the story was written, older college Professors would have had the beards, and the younger students would have been clean-shaven. But that's the only criticism I can find! The rest was a first-rate adaptation.

[@JimHag22]

Wow. This is it. Not just a precedent for Lovecraft fans, but for cinema altogether. It's been about 70 years since Lovecraft wrote his last work, and in that time, only a handful of movie adaptations were made and all of them sucked. This is the first Lovecraft related movie to not only keep with the story, but is actually good and has an art style that matches up with the descriptions in the story. Incredible work, certainly among KZbin's finest, and an excellent peice in its own right!

I understand Guillermo Del Toro (sp?) had plans but decided to scrap the idea because Prometheus would accuse of plagiarism (even though Lovecraft did it first!)

Something lets me think that the person telling the story (not Lovecraft, but the scientist) is full of bullshit: In the story they are in those caves for a day before they leave again and there's no word about them taking pictures of the hieroglyphs they find - and yet in this short time they not just understand the carvings from an alien culture a *little* but so good that they get details out of them like the alien society being "socialist". No. Fucking. Way. The guy simply murdered and ate his colleagues (except for the guy who went mad witnessing it) and then made up a story about aliens that's about as believable as the shit on the history channel...

+Commander Kruge this was written in 1930.

[@DimmVargr]

My thoughts exactly. No one could understand so much from just drawings; actually it would be impossible to even convey so much information with the use of carvings (i.e. without the use of text or at least some kind of metaphorical pictures, both of which would be incomprehensible to someone unfamiliar with the culture and/or the way of thinking of the elder race).

[@ItsJustMilkISwear]

Dimm Vargr yeah, nobody ever learned anything about ancient civilizations by looking at their drawings in real life. oh wait, that's exactly what we did.

[@commanderkruge]

Hmmmmnope. But enlight me: How would you draw "socialist society"? Mind you - no Marx or Hammer and Scythe and stuff like that, since you're not from Earth...

[@commanderkruge]

Also this isn't stuff Egyptologists or other researchers of ancient history do just like that. It takes time to study to get such complex stuff. And yes, it was written in 1930, but that's not really an excuse. On the other hand it's just a little nitpicking of details and doesn't take away from the general fascination of Lovecraft's stories.

[@jonathanrailsback4519]

This is an excellent piece of work. You captured the essence of Lovecraft's story very well!

1931 - no guys with long hair. No shaggy beards. Males then were classy and dapper without being rich. They prided themselves as being well-kept. Also, the eye glasses used are not 1930's wire framed varieties used. Bring the era to the present - do not muddy decade eras. Like a motion picture, the costuming has to be according to the time periods they are meant to convey. Considering your marketability in Italian Versus English . . . .the global usage of English FAR exceeds the Roma lingo. Do the voice-overs in English for better campaigning for Western investment. /// 1931 - Non ci sono ragazzi con i capelli lunghi. Non ci sono barbe irsute. Maschi poi erano di classe ed elegante senza essere ricco. Si vantavano come essere curato. Inoltre, gli occhiali usati non sono 1930 varietà filo incorniciato utilizzati. Portare l'epoca ad oggi - fare epoche decennio non fangosi. Come un film, i costumi deve essere secondo i periodi di tempo essi sono destinati a trasmettere. Considerando la vostra negoziabilità in italiano Versus inglese. . . .il l'utilizzo globale di inglese supera di gran lunga il gergo Roma. Fare le voci fuori campo in inglese per una migliore campagna per investimenti occidentali.

Would you like to think yourself so vain in temperatures upto -40 degrees Centigrade to be able to shave every day? You have to be joking! Don't forget the mountainous areas including the many volcanoes including Mt. Erebus, the most southerly active volcano. A new sub-ice sheet volcano was discovered a few years ago due to increasing seismic activity. I do agree about the glasses; maybe earlier explorers wore goggles. They certainly needed snow & sun glare protection.

Valentin Koscheyev I enjoyed the use of Italian. Considering it's not a language much spoken outside of Italy, it adds an extra layer of foreignness to the story.
