I'm looking for movies like Dagon. I just watched it and loved the goofy humor combined with creepy atmosphere. Do other Lovecraft movies have this?
>>
>>68076936
Nope. But I've watched all other Dagon movies with a euphoric Lovecraft nerd who can't stand deviation. Reanimator nearly drove him mad.

Oh wait, try Reanimator.

>>68076936
From Beyond

Seriously thought that was a shoop of The Pest for a sec there.

>>68076936
Re-Animator

Another Lovecraft adaptation from the same director

The Mouth of Madness.
Lovecraft in all but name, really

It's been a while since I watched it but what goofy humor are you referring to exactly? I remember it being 100% serious.
>>
>>68077591
the whole thing is a joke. Like doctor who stuff
>>
>>68077591
it's not serious until the very end, watch it again

DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE is worth checking out.

The only goofiness I recall is when he actually has to bolt the hinges back on the apartment door one at a time in order to create a barricade against the incoming horde. That was like 10 minutes into the movie.

>>68079435
Why don't you rewatch it.

Her entire plotline took all the "horror" out of the movie for me.

If a cute mermaid goddess saved my life from a horde of monsters and then asked me to live with her in her underwater kingdom for all eternity I wouldn't even hesitate to say yes and I could not empathize at all with how the guy freaked out and even tried to kill himself.

Also the fact that she occasionally has rows of razor sharp fangs and tentacle legs is not a deal breaker.

Uxia did literally nothing wrong.
>>
>>68079561
I think you should rewatch it. Just because you're emotionally stunted and found it funny doesn't mean it was supposed to be.
>>
>>68079785
How long ago did you watch it? The whole first 45 minutes of the movie with Paul trying to get away from the townspeople is a comedy.
>>
>>68079703
If that was your favorite part, this whole movie is basically "Cthulthu meets boy, falls in love"

I haven't seen Dagon, but if you're looking for weird humor/horror, Ravenous is perfect.

Also Castle Freak

Great movies in this thread. Watch them all OP

I love HPL but the best are already mentioned. The Resurrected is good but not for comedy.

I will contribute Slither as my vote for great goofy humor and creepy atmosphere. Also pic related can fit the dark humor category if you're not already sick to death of zombies.

How come there aren't any big budget Lovecraft inspired movies? I'd love to see some otherworldly shit brought to life.

Dumb guy falls for a succubus at a party, even foolishly tries to protect her from her sisters that are killing everyone. She reveals her true form and they go through a whole Red Riding Hood type checklist

>No, I don't care that you have horns, I still love you
>No, I don't care that you have wings, I still love you
>No, I don't care that you have a tail, I still love you
>No, I don't care that you have fangs, I still love you
>No, I don't care that you have talons, I still love you
Then she shows him her penis and he runs away screaming. What a faggot. She even calls after him "Wait, there's a vagina down there too!"

Because Lovecraft was a "Racist", so jews are not going to put their shekels into a project based on his books.
>>
>>68076936
Cthulhu: The Movie takes itself more seriously and has a gay plot but it's another adaptation of the same material, worth a gander.

>>68082000
At the Mountains of Madness was going to be done big-budget style but kept getting held up on major details. Last word was Prometheus was too similar (in that they're going down in a cave and discovering who created humanity, I guess) so it's been shelved. Maybe some day, it's the only story left I really want to see on the big screen.

>>68082338
Sounds hot tbqh

>>68083068
also Guillermo Del Toro would not guarantee a PG 13 rating, that's the real reason.
He said he would try to make it as PG 13 as he could but he would not guarantee to the studio since the ratings board might not play fair (his are you afraid of the dark was not gory or anything and got rated R for being too scary)

So then the studio didn't want to risk it, then Prometheus came out, then they just shelved it,
It was Del toro's fault if you ask me, just make the stupid thing PG 13 and be done with it.

They probably would have come up with some dumb shit like you can't show the shoggoths, too many slimy tentacles.

Watched the other two. Now to finalise the trinity.
I love this lovecraft crap.

2/5 of those are on Netflix, now to find the others. I have a hard on for that bitch in Reanimator. Is she even sexier in From Beyond?
>>
>>68084357
well they had no problem with Hellboy 1 and 2 and his weird creatures.
I dont know, I think pg 13 would have worked,
Then he got butthurt that Prometheus was too similar and the whole thing was buried.

This.

Last year I read Berserk and loved it so was told to watch some Lovecraft horror films. Fucking loved them.

Barbara Crampton was and still is hot as fuck. Wishing she'd do another film where she gets raped by a demon.

It¨s a web series, black and white and mute, but it really has by far the best lovecraftian atmosphere of all movie adaptations.
Thank you anon who found it yesterday, the thread is archived but that is it.[

From Beyond has an extended sequence of her trying to seduce the main dude, and maybe even the other guy too, all while wearing this leather bondage get up.

It's silly, but she does get naked from what I remember.

she does, but not in that scene
