Post your Cosmic Horror concepts

You'd need a really, really good crew to put it together. Lovecraft's horror is evoking a reaction in the reader because of how the narrator refuses to directly acknowledge what is happening. That's really hard to do visually for more than one or two scenes.

desu, the guys who did Sicario could probably pull it off. Almost half that whole movie was people setting up for something to happen then it all goes down in like 10 seconds.

the most important thing all directors forget is that you don't show the monster also if you havent seen "the colour out of space" b&w movie its a good adaption NOT perfect but good

I think you can but you have to be really careful with it, look at The Thing and maybe even Alien.

This is true. I think they show the alien more in the trailer for the new Alien movie than they did in the entirety of the original

your idea sounds like black mountainside.
you should check it out.

Good cosmic horror works:

IT (discounting all the extra explanations)
The Mist
True Detective
Event Horizon
Alien (discount rest of series)
Twin Peaks
Blair Witch series
The Borderlands (movie)
Some others I can't recall now


Any works where the villains are described or categorized are excluded. Ironically, that includes most of the Cthulhu mythos.

Also see juassic park. Everyone wanted to see the dilophosaurus - bummer. T-rex - bummer.

>There are going to be, uh, dinosaurs, uh, on this, uh, dinosaur tour, right? Hello?
...
>What happened to the goat?

Event Horizon was so fun

Don't need to waste so much time with build up. I liked the pace

It's not about weather to show the monster or not. The monster is such a none part of what makes Lovecraftian horror what it is, you could literally write it out and still retain all the elements that makes something Lovecraftian. Sadly, most people who attempt to homage his work in some way don't seem to get this.

Truly is the best sci fi horror concept I've seen. So underrated

I would adapt Uzumaki as a ten ep tv show, only one season...bonus points if made in nihon, nightmare mode: with nihones that can act..

I can't believe this was Disney's response to Star Wars.

Essentially a haunted house in space tale that actually broached the question of the darkness behind the stars. Underrated
