After her father\u2019s death, Elizabeth travels to a remote island to discover why her father funded the convent there. She finds it inhabited exclusively by nuns who perform bizarre rituals in the catacombs underneath the convent. The nuns harbor many dark secrets, including something inhuman lurking below. Directed by Mariano Baino,\u00a0Dark Waters favors mood and style over a fully coherent narrative, making it feel like Italian horror by way of Lovecraft. It\u2019s ambiguous, atmospheric, and gorgeous.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Based on a 7-page short story by\u00a0H.P. Lovecraft,\u00a0From Beyond unleashed a loose adaptation filled with gooey creatures, phallic pineal glands, and body horror washed in neon pink haze. It also marked a reunion between director Stuart Gordon, screenwriter Dennis Paoli, producer Brian Yuzna, and actors Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton. Gordon\u2019s adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft goes hard on the gooey body horror when scientists tamper with reality. The more they lift the veil to an alternate reality, the more they\u2019re irrevocably altered as creatures invade.<\/p>\n

Before Terrified and When Evil Lurks, there was writer\/director Demi\u00e1n\u00a0Rugna\u2019s Lovecraftian feature debut. The English-language horror movie follows a newlywed couple, Michael and Marianne, as their joy over their first home curdles into a cosmic nightmare when they discover that a gateway to Hell has opened up in Michael\u2019s stomach. It\u2019s not just the goopy, inhuman horrors emerging from within that the couple must contend with, but a strange cult that wants the gateway for themselves. While the English-language does mean some spotty acting, it\u2019s worth a watch for the Hellraiser-like imagery and an early look at Rugna\u2019s style of brutal horror, even if it\u2019s a bit of a slow burn.<\/p>\n

An adaptation of Lovecraft\u2019s short story \u201cThe Unnamable\u201d centers on a creature that haunts the dilapidated house on Meadow Hill in Arkham, Massachusetts. It\u2019s a cosmic entity known for its monstrous size and piercing shriek. Director Jean-Paul Ouellette expanded the story\u2019s plot and sets it in the present, where Miskatonic University students dare each other to stay the night in the notoriously haunted Winthrop house, the longtime home of Alyda Winthrop, demonic daughter of 18th-century warlock Joshua Winthrop. In true Lovecraft form, expect more of a cosmic slow burn than full blown \u201980s creature feature here.<\/p>\n

Horror director Jaume Balaguer\u00f3 (REC,\u00a0Sleep Tight) teams with\u00a0Ver\u00f3nica scribe\u00a0Fernando Navarro on\u00a0Venus, a blood-drenched and modern update to H.P. Lovecraft\u2019s \u201cThe Dreams in the Witch House.\u201c A violent crime thriller gets applied to the Lovecraftian tale, presenting a compelling distraction for the cosmic horror to invade quietly until a blood drenched finale. Club dancer Luc\u00eda (Ester Exp\u00f3sito) takes refuge in her sister\u2019s strange apartment building after stealing from her employer, a crime boss. Shortly after, her sister seemingly abandons her, leaving behind a daughter and increasingly nightmarish disturbances. Venus makes for a slick and breezy action-horror movie far more memorable for its gruesome high-octane thrills than its cosmic chills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lovecraftian Horror, named after author H.P.
