H. P. Lovecraft, Guillermo, del Toro, Cronos DVD and stuff...

In the Mouth of Madness (1995) starring Sam Neill was the closest I've seen so far at trying to capture the vibe of the Cthulu Mythos. It wasn't too bad, but just goes to show that using cinema to emulate a book story is hard work when you're having to compete with the brain's ability to conjure up "unspeakable horrors" from what the text describes. Another problem is the stories are shrt stories and need a fair amount of 'stretching' to flesh out a film.

I googled "lovecraft movies" and found a page listing some movies based on Lovecraft stories that might interest you. I've seen at least one of these that I can recall and be warned that these film are dodgey attempts at art. The books remain unchallenged.

 

Not a lovecraft fan, sorry.

 

iam glad to find out that aliens vs predators is stealing the story from at the mountains of madness and the sci fi channel is suposed have re animator on as like a original movie

 

Sadly, Lovecraft is nearly unfilmable, simply because no one can look at Cthulhu and his ilk without going mad . . . t:
A shame, isn't it?
