Der Horrorfilm - Monster, Mythen und Mutanten (German Edition)

Events that the locals are eager to keep secret. The Curse Another adaptation of H. Beyond the Wall of Sleep A very poorly made film, with a very funny commentary track. Hunters of the Dark Inspired by the works of H. And Mike, I do believe that certain types of creatures and tentacles can indicate a Lovecraftian atmosphere or influence…. Pair Equinox as the B-film for The Evil Dead in a double-feature, shoestring-budget, loosely-Lovecraftian film night, and I think Equinox will go over well in that context. I always thought the original The Wicker Man, from the s, had a very Lovecraftian feel.

Also The Blair Witch Project is worth considering for this list, with the same eerie feel. It actually reminded me of Sticks in some ways. There is also Out of Mind: The Stories of HP Lovecraft. A young record store clerk is introduced to Lovecraft and slowly starts to go mad as he experiences visions relating to the stories he is reading. There are too many clues, however, that the visions are real and terrible things are being unleashed into our world. And yes, remarkably like HPL, especially the jawline. For me — the best lovecraftian movie is Dark Waters from Mariano Baino.

You can check it — http: It had very strong Lovecraftian elements none the less and the black ooze antagonist at times reminded me of Formless Spawn of Tsthoggua. Dead on with Uzumaki… even moreso the original comic, which the movie is just the first chapter of. Really wild, weird, creepy stuff. I found a copy from the U. And common consensus is The Mist has one of the best downbeat endings in modern horror films which sits truly in Lovecraftian bleak endings.

Not to say Lovecraft didnt have any upbeat endings — The Dunwich Horror is a great tale of Good triumphing over Evil…but its a rare example of such. Several movies I have not heard of, so I think I now have a project for the next few weekends. Someone mentioned Closet Space, and I will recommend that movie as well. Very strong Lovecraftian themes. You can find all of them on Youtube, which is great, because I think some of these entries would be difficult, if not impossible to find elsewhere.

Youtube link — http: The Stone Tape, also penned by Kneale. If only they would have picked a better leading man than Steve Railsback, it might have actually have stood a chance of being more popular then what it was. The Horror Express, another Hammer film, definitely has a Lovecraft influence.

Knowing, starring Nicholas Cage. It truly is a very good and atmospheric movie. Youtube link to trailer- http: This one freaked me out when I was about eleven or twelve! This is a great list and a great site in general, thanks! Hard pressed to add to your list. The Ninth Gate is a great movie. I think it qualifies as borderline Lovecraftian. Check out Yellow Brick Road when you get a chance. I think it woud fit well on this list: Both Dead Birds and Marebito often do a wonderful job of suggesting a nice, eerie Weird Fiction atmosphere. That was one excellent movie!

So glad I heard about it on the eZine! Water and a fishing village does not make a story Lovecraftian. The lovecraftian element being the universe next door being a place of inhuman horrors. Great LIst and nice comments. Cabin in the Woods is the most Lovecraftian of those that I have seen. I had such a pleasant surprise when I first watched it, thinking it was going to be a normal hacker thriller…. Definitely some good ones on this list, lots of important ones left out already mentioned in the comments. But also some that are good movies but so far from being lovecraft it makes me wonder.

The woods for example… just because there are witches…doesnt make it Lovecraftian… Witches are very pre lovecraft… Absentia and Last winter are amazing movies in the list. Those Definitely had the vibe. I may be the only one here who likes this movie, it is low budget and pretty cheezy has slasher elements , but I have always liked The Unamable.

I enjoyed the movie Uzumaki, a Japanese horror film by Higuchinsky, released in Both are very atmospheric. The reveals are very terrifying. I kinda forgot about it actually. I used to love those Full Moon flix. Just watched Europa Report. While not overtly Lovecraftian, there are subtle threads present throughout including isolation, insanity, and. I also suggest Monsters, an underrated sleeper with extremely Lovecratian creatures in both design and origin.

Really liked the list, thanks so much for sharing these ideas. I just recommended the Lovecraft eZine, and this film list in particular over on Reddit Lovecraft; and I wanted to mention here that my admiration continues to grow for what I see here. Thank you for the kind words, Will. I really appreciate them, and the link at Reddit. Thanks for the encouragement. Wake Wood — What would you do to bring back someone you lost? One that was just on TV that I have to admit has always struck me as being innately Lovecraftian, and one I doubt anybody is going to agree with me about but what the hell, here goes: Where it all departs from the strictly Lovecraftian is in the starship crew — HPL never indulged in comic relief characters — and the strong-jawed, somewhat belligerent hero played by Leslie Nielsen.

Morbius as a future mad scientist and put him in a starched collar and he could easily be a corrupted Miskatonic academic who has discovered too much. I know this film, adapted from The Tempest, could more likely be referred to as Shakespearean than Lovecraftian, but it does have something of a C. Smith feel through key points of the plot. The latter at least had a unique concept, but a distinct inability to pull off the ambiguous ending. Pontypoole was better, but the ending falls apart completely.

My current favorite is Mariano Baino Dark Water I know I did. Second, a recommendation against the previously suggested Beyond the Wall of Sleep , which surpasses even the horrid adaptation of The Lurking Fear for miscarried attempts at doing Lovecraft in a film. Some of the stories are pretty strong. But the special effects are top notch for the overall film budget. The Thing on the Doorstep Not the best acted or the best script but a very Mythos-faithful modern day retelling of the Thing on the Doorstep.

Very atmospheric and craftily done. Extremely old school creepy and enjoyable. I know people from Spain who rate Darkness with Mike you and I share a love of many of the same films. The Resurrected is my second favorite horror film of all-time. John Carpenter is my favorite director, and my favorite film of his was In the Mouth of Madness. It has been an inspiration for my own stories.

Event Horizon was an amazing film and one of the two best films I have seen mixing horror and sci-fi. I was also very pleased to see my third favorite horror film, Dagon. He has made many lovecraft films but this was his largest budget and he was able to film in a coastal village in Spain allowing for a great deal of realism. He made a short film for the TV series Masters of Horror. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. Not only that, but the person in the makeup gave an incredible physical performance that totally sold this creature to the audience.

I watched it recently and the creature holds up even today with any large budget film could produce. Otherwise I think you nailed my other top picks. I just watched Blood Glacier last night. I highly suggest it. A team of paranormal investigators look into claims of supernatural activity in a remote church and it soon becomes apparent that some kind of ancient evil has been awakened. But I enjoyed the film and was surprised by the ending, which is the most Lovecraftian part of the film. Two men representing the Catholic church travel to a sleepy village to investigate a report of a miracle in a local church.

Contains elements from Shadow over Innsmouth surly locals, ancient cults and The Statement of Randolph Carter modern technology used to document a rapid decent into madness. Each year this year will mark the 3rd I do a 30 Days of Horror marathon — I watch 1 horror movie a night during the month of October, culminating in a horror fest on my birthday October Isolated town with underground mystery.

Said mystery exported in a lampoon of consumer culture and dessert craze. The tagline is great: Loved the book, too. Cast a Deadly Spell wad a good one. More light hearted but neat. Hell tge detective in the movie is named Lovecraft. The Messiah of Evil has many Lovecraftian elements to it.

The Mothman Prophecies One main character in search of the truth, a strange being, dangerous knowledge,…. At The Mountains Of Madness comes to mind. I think the Wendigo was mentioned, but not sure. There seems to be a subgenre of government-corporate-capitalist horror, although it would be as vast as the Arctic wastelands. Gonna recommend Sauna on here. A Finnish movie about a grim village in the Middle Ages and the Finnish agents who come to mark on the map where it ends and Russia begins.

Has a cosmic touch with themes of insanity, meaninglessness, and darkness with an eldritch monster worthy of the Old Man From Providence himself. Jones, directed by Karl Muellern on Netflix. With creepy stick figures in the woods, mysterious presences, an urban legend of the art world, and heavy emphasis on the dream world, it really felt like something that would fit nicely into the Lovecraft circle. Thirty-seven years ago Gawd, where has the time gone! See the details on Amazon at http: Vila Roza Roseville has some Lovecraftian elements.

I would add Lord of Tears. Ah, and also forgot Marebito, this one is actually quite good, it leaves you wondering what is real and what is not, the main character really descents to madness and there is even a blink to the mountains of madness. After reading a lot of Lovecraft, this movie happened to be on TV.

Cthulhu Mythos in popular culture

Noticed a lot of Lovecraft themes lurking under the main plot of this movie. It shows up very strongly in the first film about a cosmic deity that finds a way to breach our world. The video game brings back the strong story and forces the characters to face cross-dimensional enemies. The TV series, both the original and Extreme Ghostbusters had Lovecraftian plot elements in numerous episodes. I found it to be a beautiful, frightening, and intense film. Absentia another example, and also a great movie. The first pilgrimage happened in — the Yellow Brick Road out of the Great Depression led to fascism and war?

Which does get back to the cosmic. Seems Laird Barron-ish in some way.

She is a genetically engineered android whose function is to get food for the group. She is considered a commodity by her handlers and aside from her programmed seduction tactics has no emotions of her own. The fact that this movie is sci-fi does not necessarily denote cosmic ramifications.

She did a good job acting, though. Of course, I am not an expert in anything and may have missed something. You should add Okaruto to the list. Although I think the ending is a bit weak. First of all…Great list. There are a few I have not enjoyed but I plan on it. Strips away the typical religious ghost story stuff as it goes on and works towards an exceptionally Lovecraftian ending. A mysterious giant sphere that chooses what it reflects is discovered in a spaceship at the bottom of the ocean.

Then after stuff goes crazy, can or should the scientists escape? I know that no list will ever be perfect and that tastes differ but there are lovecraftian hallmarks missing — and those are: I have a bit of an unusual suggestion. But in a very, very weird way. A way associated with mind control, mutations, hallucinations, body horror, the evolution of mankind and unknown and unseen forces that are dangerous to play with.

The main plot is the descent into madness of a producer of violent and erotic TV programmes and the compulsion with which he takes each step is akin to some Lovecraftian characters. Long live the New Flesh! Well, I laid out my reasons. You would agree with me, if someone stated that the Videodrome is a Great Old One, right? And it might as well be. Thank you for this excellent list.

It is very smart of you to quote Possession, and accurate. Good stories and a good cast as well: Very cool and wisely chosen list! I think I start collecting these, especially the ones based directly on Lovecraft works. Two not mentioned yet: The Gate has some old gods, etc, aspects. I sadly dont know where to get it, not even on the official site is any info it released years ago, but no dvd or download in sight.

Wow, four years and the discussion is still going! It seems like your standard demon possession flick, but end using several elements that Lovecraft readers will recognize. Looking for a movie title. Only have vague memories, but it was a Western and involved some kind of strange malevolent creatures and also had an Indian legend tie-in if I remember correctly.

A cult surrounding a sorcerer named Nix is disbanded by one of his former followers, Swann. Nix is defeated and imprisoned and his most devoted follower, Butterfield, goes into hiding for 13 years, seeking the means to bring his master back. And though they are not movies, I can advice certain episodes of the Doctor Who audio adventures of Big Finish.

• Andrew Fuller: Model Pastor-Theologian (Baptist Thought and Life).
• The One Story Of The Bible?
• Wilson Farm - Unverfilmtes Drehbuch zu einem Horrorfilm (German Edition).

As above as below [] Belongs to the horror sub-genre of underground exploration, like Decent and Pyramid. But it also crosses with Dan Brown and Lovecraft. I like this movie a lot. The last witch hunter [] Might be considered pseudo-Lovecraftian. One of these days, I intend to check it out myself. Thanks for the list. Honeymoon from has a strong resemblance to shadow over innsmouth imo. Definitely worth the watch. The last 10 minutes tho…. I guess a lot of people just immediately scrolled down the list and then headed straight to the comments without reading the introductory text.

The desperation for my next Lovecraftian fix has driven me to scouring youtube. I know this site has been up for a while, but I just discovered it recent. Excellent listing of films and comments. When they find no one aboard, they search around and find something truly terrifying in the hold. More of an action adventure, it certainly has a Lovecraftian ending.

With ethereal music, beautiful lighting and an offbeat pace, it is one-part love story and one part nihilistic vision of a bleak reality. I believe The Cabin in the Woods is a satire of the horror genre or a sub-genre of horror, and that the Lovecraftian reference to the Old Gods was incidental. Nevertheless, it was a good movie. Hi Mike, great list.

Aleister Crowley and HPL are characters. They are wonderful high-budget Lovecraftian movies.

Not by anyone definition but especially not by the definition which Mike used at the start of this thread. Certainly nobody ever goes insane in his horror. And del Toro had nothing to do with it. Of particular note is the masterful Quatermass and the Pit, about an ancient race of extraterrestrials that have been disturbed by excavations of a new underground station, and whose psychic influence begins to spread nightmares through the streets of London.

The film combines science fiction, folklore and cosmic horror in a wonderful brew, and includes magnificent performances by all of its star turns including a very fresh-faced Julian Glover! Amazing list, will try to watch those movies. I will contribute with one no one said yet: An outside layer of artsy scifi over a huge Lovecraftian core. It has visuals that still remain fresh and crispy in my memory. Saw it on netflix months ago. About as lovecraftian as a movie can possibly get, in terms of content and theme.

Very graphic with a fair amount of body horror. Absolutely loved it, great production value with minimal use of CGI and a focus on practical effects. Also, just found this site, have been a longtime Lovecraft fan. Excellent suggestions Mike and company. But this movie shows an inescapable horror and something which may-or-may-not be a descent into madness. Any insight into your feelings on why it merits an inclusion? I wanted to mention that especially because this is a list of films that have Lovecraftian themes, rather than just a list of adaptations, it really feels like Annihilation belongs on this list.

I think that it it captures the spirit of fear that the reality it exposed was something unknowable and incomprehensible from elsewhere very much like The Colour Out of Space. I can heartily recommend The Borderlands. If you can forgive the inherent flaw in all faux-found footage films, it really is a good slow burner. Usually such are included to set the scene.

But here you have to really study what you are seeing in order to make complete sense of the movie.

Or not enough, because human relationships appear to be the main focus of these movies. Doubtfire", and back in '77, there was a guy who was like Capt. Cosmic or something, hosted a show for kids where they ran Ultraman and the like, had a call in phone competition called 'TV Pow' where you played voice activated Atari basically and then the same guy hosted 'Creature Features' on Friday night. And all because 'Die, Monster, Die' is mentioned, you all have to be subject to the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind.

I apologize, but not sincerely. I've said this before: Lovecraft film adaptations are difficult for one very simple reason - his characters tend not to have motivation. What I mean is that they do things that they know they shouldn't be doing for reasons that they can't explain. That can be fun on the page, but I don't know how someone could translate it to the screen. Again, not that anyone cares. Every other aspect of the movie veers between "pretty good" and "awful. Nope, didn't miss a day. In the week leading up to Halloween, I've been throwing in a bonus at the end of every HMAD, a personal favorite horror film of mine that doesn't tend to get enough eyeballs or isn't appreciated like it should be.

I will, eventually, get through them all if this column lasts long enough. I grew up watching him. Real name Bob March. I think he was one of the hosts of "Dialing for Dollars" on that station later on. It's not a democracy. They do a talkback for "Nailin Palin", they get all geekgasmtastic over Zack and Miri making a porno, Every week they host dozens of obscene comments about Script Girl. It's not like AICn is unaware of porn or too good for it. Sorry if this is the wrong spot to bring this up, I'm hoping Quint might consider it since Harry and Mori have ignored requests.

I think I saw this one back in the seventies. Didn't the meteor turn out to be a semi-animate creature that looked like a paper-mache muppet in a bowl of dry ice? And didn't Karloff have a manservant in this movie who ranted about diamonds or, as he pronounced it die-uh-mawnds and how he was going to be king of the world?

Or am I thinking of an entirely different movie? You know, I'm not big on the Dogme95 style either - but if there's one genre that actually might benefit from it, it's horror. I guarantee you'll love it if you haven't given it a chance yet, Quint. Without having to see the Giant Claw. Consider yourself lucky for now, and hope you lose the dvd so you never have to view it in rotation. Nick Adams addresses this inquiry to five or six villagers who shun him or run the other way. Get a hunt, Nick. Horror Movie A Day: Instead I will pull a title at random every day and watch whatever the movie Gods determine for me.

I love me some Boris Karloff, especially of this era. In fact, none of the actors drop the ball in the movie, from stone-jawed lead Nick Adams to damsel in distress Suzan Farmer to mystery woman behind the veil Freda Jackson… all do their best with decent material… but I can guarantee you, having not read up on anything about this picture, this was a troubled production.

It feels like they were missing shots and many shots feel like filler, only there for connective tissue.

His father became obsessed with it and locked in the basement, ultimately going crazy.

How intriguing is that title? Basically you have two English tourists in Spain, a husband and his pregnant wife, who decide to boat out to a small island village to get away from the tourist Spain. They want the real deal. When they get there, they notice a pack of kids roaming around who seem a little shocked to see the couple. They run off and the couple go in look for a hotel, but soon discover the town is all but abandoned.

Deserted… except for the children. And speaking of tone earlier, this movie is dark as shit. You know nothing is going to go right for our hapless couple and indeed nothing does.
