  • How can one even begin to describe the outstanding work of Howard Phillips Lovecraft? There is a reason he is still addressed as the Father of Cosmic Horror, and there is just no way that one can ignore the impact of his work in this genre. His stories are a whole different kind of a nightmare, which effortlessly triggers our fear of the unknowable.
    Hence, it should not come as a surprise when we tell you that almost every storyteller of the supernatural, right from the celebrated Stephen King to the illustrious Guillermo del Toro, all have had elements of Lovecraft’s horror canon reflected in their works.
    In this video, we are going to take a look into 12 of the best horror flicks, which are based on the incredible bibliography of H. P. Lovecraft.!
    Thumbnail Credits - On the right-hand side of the thumbnail, you will see the amazing art of Kumiho by Thomas Du Crest, definitely check him out on Artstation, he has an amazing portfolio!

    15:54 I was looking these films up on Wikipedia as I went along and noticed they pretty much lifted their narration from the Wikipedia article on the film lol
    "Susannah Kelton, a newly married woman who was raised in foster care in the city, learns that her real parents have died and left their property to her. She and her husband Mike travel to the island of Dunwich off the coast of Massachusetts to inspect the property. They find a local culture that is clannish, backward and ignorant. The few friends whom they make among the locals, including Susannah's aunt Agatha, warn them that the family mill is cursed and urge the Keltons to leave immediately and never look back.
    Refusing to bow to superstition, the couple consider rebuilding the abandoned mill. They become the target of a gang of local thugs led by Susannah's lecherous cousin, Ethan. Their reign of terror is ended by something still living in the shuttered attic room of the mill, something that caused Susannah to have nightmares as a child."

      I ALSO, really loved the film. I especially loved the idea that they showed, which as far as I know, happens often in Lovecraft's lore. The idea that the daughter starts praying to/researching ancient deities to keep her family safe. But once she finds the right one & marks herself up, it actually Forces her to serve it rather than granting her protection. A few people that reacted to/reviewed the film called that out as being stupid. But in truth, it happens often in Lovecraft's work. People research things looking for salvation. But once connected, they only become vessels for their power. Not "Protected" at all.

      @@lesleyrussell8200 Well, it's a complex issue, not an either/or (free-for-all versus nothing free ever)... If people share videos via the internet, especially in a commercial way (e.g. either charging a small membership fee or finding advertisers), then it might well affect studio profits, that's true. If people just use film sites to watch videos, and they don't even have a way of making copies which can be accessed offline or shared, then there really isn't some massive issue like that. Film sites used to often have both pay-per-view and free services - the former offering more 'prestigious' or recent content, as you'd expect. There's a lot less of that than there was fifteen years ago.
      Once, YT itself had a lot more old sit-com episodes (usually around 30 minutes, of course). Later, a time-limit was imposed - about 10 minutes per video, it seemed to be, and people had to post things as part 1/2/3. Later again, they had to be short clips. Finally, lawyers started removing short clips of particular shows. Clearly, people watching a 5-minute clip of an old episode of some sit-com, for example, wasn't costing anyone anything. So, some of the restrictions are fair enough - but most are pretty ridiculous...

    John Carpenter's "The Thing" is a damn good rendition of At the Mountains of Madness, based off a short story, "Who Goes There?" which in turn, is a modern-day rendition of Mountains. The sheer level of paranoia and the absolute Lovecraftian horrors they have to fight make it the best Lovecraft on the screen, bar none. Even by modern standards the gore is pretty shocking, and uniquely, it is not because of humans killing each other, but the bloody and horrifying transformations the alien goes through when outed. Closest Lovecraft has ever gotten to the silver screen.

    H.P. Lovecraft is the king of horror literature. Without him horror novels and films wouldn't even exist as we see them. His influence and literary universe is so deep and widespread that it's clearly visible in countless iconic writers, filmmakers, and artists works. Names such as Stephen King, John Carpenter, Clive Barker, Guillermo Del Toro, Neil Gaiman, Stuart Gordon, Sam Raimi, Ramsey Campbell, David Cronenberg, Dario Argento, Peter Straub, and George A. Romero all fell under Lovecraft's spell early in their lives and you feel it in some way, shape or form in so many classics in their own right. Lovecraft's own short stories that were adapted to the screen include Re-Animator, Dagon, From Beyond, The Dunwich Horror, The Resurrected, Necronomicon, Color Out of Space, and Dreams in the Witch House.

    Number 10 was the best retelling of a Lovecraft story simply because it was smart enough to realize it could not visually represent and interpret Lovecraft to screen with any attempt at realism.
    Instead they made the artistic decision to use an antiquated style of storytelling so that the story itself became the centerpiece instead of a poorly realised bad GCI monster reveal.
    Many of the stage effects in the film were very clever so were entertaining as well.
