H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Which of those are actually worth watching? I figure most are probably near unwatchable. I hope I'm wrong though.

I know of at least 4 that are worth watching without even checking the list.

The first two Herbert West movies (Reanimator), The Color From Out of Space feat. Nic Cage (IMO the best one I've seen), and From Beyond for that cheesy B-movie badness.

I've seen a lot (not all 74) and most of them are just, like, shitty student projects with varying degrees of faithfulness to the source material.

I watched Dagon (2001) and it's definitely low budget but it was scary as fuck

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah. I heard this one is pretty good. That and re-animator. Don't know the rest though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I can personally guarantee on these one

The Dunwich Horror (1970)
Re-Animator (1985)
From Beyond (1986)
The Color Out of Space (2010)
The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)
Banshee Chapter (2013)

It's German for "the monster, the."

The deep ones (at least in my opinion) was terrible. I'm also a B movie fan, but it was just bad.

I agree with the other comments here for the rest.

Callgirl was funny, but more or less what you'd expect from a movie with that title.
