If you think I’ve forgotten a movie that should be here, please let me know. If you disagree, fair enough your comments are welcome. What does make a movie Lovecraftian, in my opinion? Wikipedia writes that “the hallmark of Lovecraft’s work was the sense that ordinary life was a thin shell over a reality which was so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person.” I agree wholeheartedly with that definition, and I put together this movie list with that in mind.Īlso, this is a personal list it’s movies that I think are very good to great and that use Lovecraftian themes. Why? Because tentacles and adaptations don’t make movies Lovecraftian. What is important is that the movie makes good use of Lovecraftian themes, whether it’s an adaptation or not.įor example, you won’t find The Dunwich Horror on this list, but you will find Dagon (a Lovecraft adaptation) and Absentia (not a Lovecraft adaptation). Some movies on this list are adaptations of Lovecraft’s work, to be sure but there are plenty that are not. Note that I did not say that this is a list of movies based on Lovecraft’s stories. And be sure to check out our weekly podcast, where we talk about Lovecraftian and horror movies, books, and much more!)īelow is a list of Lovecraftian-themed movies that I recommend - what I consider to be the best of the best.
