Chuds won, where are the faithful Lovecraft adaptations?

kino

>>212253736
Haven't heard of this one

>>212253713 (OP)
The first person brave enjoy to do The Rats in the Walls by the script but the dwell on the climax for like half an hour of horror that makes Event Horizon look tame is going to be the horror director of the upcoming decade.

>>212253736
I'll never like these "psychological horror" movies. It's a bunch of drama that uses Lovecraft's themes just to attract people to their dramatic films.

>>212253984
I believe it literally entered the public domain this year or will next year. What a low hanging fruit and home run. I see your vision

????
Chuds won so much they entered an era where The American Society of Magical Negroes could be greenlit

>>212254130
All of lovecrafts works are in the public domain

>>212254130
It'd be awesome

>>212253984
This is the sort of scene that will alure the A24 filmers to make a shitty lovecraft movie for their camwhore jihadist whives. ultimately OP is correct and cinephiles will be btfo for all time, they'll never make anything like that

I don't know about that, I think that the climax of Aterrados was similar and excellently done by Rugna.

>>212253713 (OP)
Chuds have no power

>>212253713 (OP)
I like this one quite a bit

>>212254566
Shut your bitch ass up we decide who the president is, what movies and video games become massive flops, we control the crypto, the richest man in the world is on our side, we have all the guns, and we have all the memes.

Chuds rule this planet

>>212254059
This. No one does straight Lovecraft.

>>212254645
What is that?

>>212254688
Racists pretty much control every corner of social media besides reddit at this point. Blacks are now talking about "black fatigue" LOL.

He would have been good on Fishtank.

>>212253736
It was decent.
Did think it was an interesting choice for a fairly substantial plot reveal was this was a sequel to an indie film that maybe a few hundred people had seen.

>>212254785
Of course, he was spiritually a zoomer.

>>212253713 (OP)
>>212254059
The only director i can think of who could pull it off is del taco

>>212254941
Pretty sure he's been trying to get an adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness made for like 20 years

>>212254941
Del Taco is a raging anti-White racist so no.

>>212253984
This, but with "The Horror at Red Hook." Pure chud kino, plus one of the more outrageous scenes of supernatural horror ever committed to text.

>...nothing can ever efface the memory of those nighted crypts, those titan arcades, and those half-formed shapes of hell that strode gigantically in silence holding half-eaten things whose still surviving portions screamed for mercy or laughed with madness. Odours of incense and corruption joined in sickening concert, and the black air was alive with the cloudy, semi-visible bulk of shapeless elemental things with eyes. Somewhere dark sticky water was lapping at onyx piers, and once the shivery tinkle of raucous little bells pealed out to greet the insane titter of a naked phosphorescent thing which swam into sight, scrambled ashore, and climbed up to squat leeringly on a carved golden pedestal in the background.

>Avenues of limitless night seemed to radiate in every direction, till one might fancy that here lay the root of a contagion destined to sicken and swallow cities, and engulf nations in the foetor of hybrid pestilence. Here cosmic sin had entered, and festered by unhallowed rites had commenced the grinning march of death that was to rot us all to fungous abnormalities too hideous for the grave’s holding. Satan here held his Babylonish court, and in the blood of stainless childhood the leprous limbs of phosphorescent Lilith were laved. Incubi and succubae howled praise to Hecate, and headless moon-calves bleated to the Magna Mater. Goats leaped to the sound of thin accursed flutes, and aegipans chased endlessly after misshapen fauns over rocks twisted like swollen toads. Moloch and Ashtaroth were not absent; for in this quintessence of all damnation the bounds of consciousness were let down, and man’s fancy lay open to vistas of every realm of horror and every forbidden dimension that evil had power to mould...

>I took leave of my father's decrepit farmhouse in my modest Guatemalan automobile, making reasonable pace across a landscape bereft of anything resembling what I had come to Know as modernity. I eventually reached the general store, a flimsy wooden structure that emitted a dark cloud of smoke from a narrow chimney. Two locals sat outside in the midday sun, accomplishing nothing and seemingly content in their doing. Their stupidity, likely the result of generations of inbreeding and race-mixing, was apparent both their appearance and vocabulary.

>My eyes were drawn towards the words emblazoned above the door. These words disturb me in such a manner that defy ordinary description. I shall not repeat them here, for I rear that anyone who stumbles upon this tome will meet the same fate as I should they read.

how would that even work, a lot of flashbacks?

In my opinion there are three reasons why Lovecraft's work can't be adapted into movies:
1) A lot of his works are full of old time words, so they sound unique but they can be hard to read and understand.
2) Most of his works work best as books, where your imagination does some work, if some decided to make they would probably fuck up the monsters.
3) He is a product of his time, some xenophobia and racism plays a part of his works, but in the current year that is a no no, so the movies might try to change it there by losing some of its atmosphere.
Some of his works can be turned into movies Rats in walls, as some anons said, The color from outer space, could make a good horror with a lot of build up, and Whisperer in the dark, the story where Mi-go appear can be made into Singns like movie.

You sound part of the problem with modern entertainment and why it can't be good anymore

>>212257800
>A lot of his works are full of old time words, so they sound unique but they can be hard to read and understand.
That's the appeal of Lovecraft.

Someone should adapt his fantasy stories, or the one where Houdini escapes from under the Pyramids. it'd confuse the shit out of Redditors who only understand Lovecraft in terms of "man sees alien squid and goes hecking insane"

>>212257800
>1) A lot of his works are full of old time words, so they sound unique but they can be hard to read and understand.
Read real books and put your phone down, faggot

The best Lovecraftian movies that i have seen are not inspired directly by Lovecraft stories. The movies I mean are 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien. Both convey cosmic horror at its best. 2001 even conveys something of what Lovecraft called "adventurous expectancy", which is as much at the heart of his aesthetics as his decentring of humanity is. So does Tarkovsky's Mirror, to some extent - the scenes that just focus on tree branches waving in the wind are remarkably potent.

Attempts to adapt actual Lovecraft stories tend to suffer from two problems. First, one either has to pick either a lesser Lovecraft story or a greater. It is easy enough to adapt something like The Horror at Red Hook as a straightforward pulp adventure. But to adapt one of his great stories, like The Shadow over Innsmouth or At the Mountains of Madness, requires a subtlety that most filmmakers either do not possess, or do not have the status to get away with putting on film. Even if you are a subtle filmmaker, how would you acquire the budget to make a 4 hour long movie, which is how long an adaptation of either of those stories should really be. Perhaps AI can help in that regard.

The second problem is that much of the actual nuance of Lovecraft stories is not in the plot or the worldbuilding, it is in things like an obsession with the 18th century, with architecture, with the way that slanting sunbeams hit a rooftop and so on... I have never seen a Lovecraftian film so far that even attempts to convey this part of Lovecraft, yet it comes across so strongly in his stories. If you convey merely the plot of a Lovecraft story, you often lose much of the spirit. A genuine Lovecraftian movie would spend much time just filming the way that the sun bounces off certain 18th century roofs in some antique town in New England, and dwell on the psychological and mystical dimensions of that perspective. But few filmmakers wish to go there.

Dagon was pretty accurate to Innsmouth, of course not 100%.

>Chuds won
Won what?

>>212254823
what indie film is that?

>>212258131
Not going to argue about that, but my point still stands. When you read something like the geometry of the building was eldritch, it sounds ok, but if someone spoke it, it would sound weird. The same thing with dubs vs subs in aniume.
>>212258275
Do you really think that a room temperature niggers would understand if some started saying word for word some of Lovecraft's prose, or would they chimp out.

>>212261012
That's part of why it's hard to adapt Lovecraft to film. Rare is the director who can make the building actually look like it has eldritch geometry, as opposed to just having an actor say that it has eldritch geometry.

>>212258689
he was always 100% correct.
