Is there a SINGLE good lovecraftian story?

Lovecraftian horror only works in writing. Only writing can convey cosmic horror, because with writing nothing is shown. Film displays imagery, therefor the concept of cosmic horror is lost in the film.
Brandon Carter
In the mouth of madness
Luke Robinson
Re-animator

Grayson Howard
Agreed.
Logan James

The lore in this was 10/10. The visuals were a treat and I didn't realize how 10 days went by.
There needs to be more media that tell cosmic horror stories like this.
Which directors do you think can make cosmic kino?
Owen Morales
Numales only understand Lovecraft on a very superficial level and will never be able to adapt it into film form.
Josiah Butler
The Colour out of space
Jace Carter
So the MC becomes an elder god at the end, right?
Austin Anderson
this and maybe Event Horizon
Dominic Evans
Dagon
Josiah Hernandez

Prometheus? Alien Covenant?

While not directly influenced by Lovecraft at all, The Thing I honestly think is the greatest Lovecraft-esque film to ever come out. I like to imagine that The Thing is a Shoggoth, and the space ship was an emissary vehicle from some distant Elder things satellite.

>Lovecraft-esque film
I can't tell if this is bait or not. If you're being serious, you don't have a very good understanding of what constitutes Lovecraftian horror. A more fitting Carpenter nomination would have been In the Mouth of Madness.
Jacob Taylor
Playing this again right now. Absolute kino. Best game of the 2010s and probably the best post-sixth gen game. The way it unfolds is perfect.
Landon Thomas

Isaiah Carter
You're the one who has no understanding of Lovecraft except for the most superficial level.
Cooper Long
Top cake, mate. Top cake.
Brayden King
this.
Henry Green
The Objective
Owen Peterson
in one of the endings, yes
William Peterson
I can't fucking believe this shit... they actually did it.... a video game that has surpassed television, movies, and even books....

Yep. Carpenter was the last best hope.

How many times are you going to make this thread?
Zachary Allen
came to post this
Austin Brooks
decent at best
Nicholas Morris
tried too hard
Aaron Watson
No imagination in you.
Charles Carter
It really bothers me when people say "the thing" is Lovecraftian when it was based of another writer's story "who goes there?"
Also you fuccbois don't even know about squid-fu.
Dominic Young
Not even close.
Jaxson Powell
would have made a much better short
Leo Gutierrez
Just like bloodborne's lovecraft elements were kept secret until the game came out and people discovered it themselves, there needs to be a movie marketed as one movie while keeping that twist completely hidden from the audience until they see it for themselves.
Jayden Barnes
That movie was way better than I thought it was going to be. Way sexier in certain parts too.
Eli Green
>lovecraftian
This is a good word to add to my filter list. Thanks OP.
Henry Torres
True Detective season 1
The Blair Witch Project
Read "Sticks" by Karl Edward Wagner before watching either of these
Ian King
That's a good idea but unfortunately LE CTHULU xD sells too well so we can have the smallest bit of subtly when it comes to cosmic horror or anything based off of lovecraft.
True Detective was cosmic horror done in a very nice grounded way.
Robert Perez

Brayden Thompson
You posted the wrong pic
Ian Harris
OPs image proves you wrong. Bloodborne was effective Cosmic horror if you read item descriptions and tried gathering lore.
Brayden Nelson
Now edit it to show the MGS from Kings Field games and Armored Core.
You know Seath the Scaleless and the MGS come straight from Kings Field, right?
Parker Davis
Maybe Alien, but not those pieces of shit.
Isaac Johnson
None of those games match the video's intention. It's about how the animations transition into each other.
>Seath
Share's a name with the KF one and nothing else.
Jason Barnes
>muh lovecraft
Noah Hall
80's Stuart Gordon.

True, gave me creeps like crazy. The cthulu myth is for plebs

Books not, the other two yes

I am talking about Lovecraft media you dunce, I am well aware that Bloodborne™ is not the pinnacle of human art.
