Top 5 Lovecraft Horror Movies

what's going on top 5 scary fam and welcome back to another top 5 scary whenever horror movies have ancient beings or aliens or pretty much anything too weird to explain odds are it's got some lovecraftian elements sprinkled in there there aren't nearly enough of these but there's enough to do a few lists now i know i'm gonna miss some of your favorites but that's why we have part twos that being said here is part one hopefully maybe it's a part two coming up i don't know no spoilers here are top five lovecraft horror movies spoilers ahead you heard me really hard to talk about the love crafting elements of a movie when it's part of the climax you've been warned number five the void released in 2016 written and directed by jeremy gillespie and stephen konstananski is the tale of a police officer who is delivering a patient to a hospital okay so far it's not too crazy however this hospital isn't too ordinary as soon as he gets there things feel and look weird whenever i watch movies with hospitals i always get so uncomfortable by like the lighting it's always dark and flickery no one's ever around i've had some nightmares as a kid about abandoned hospitals they're not pleasant i still have them i still have many nightmares but hospitals so he gets there all right he drops the patient off and once he realizes that the patient had heroin marks the police officer thought you know what it's probably best to wash the blood off my uniform just to be safe pretty standard procedure here probably a good call he bumps into his estranged wife who was a nurse at the hospital so he washed up catched up a little bit and then he goes out into the hospital hallway and sees the other characters beverly and cliff there they're just there this is when things start to take a bit of a turn see beverly is standing over cliff something just doesn't look right about it it looks very awkwardly placed so the police officer david walks over and sees that she has stabbed the boy with scissors like through his eyes really gross so he's forced to shoot her because she's you know doing that she's stabbing people in the head so he unfortunately has to shoot her he quickly goes to the washroom where he throws up and passes out horrified of what just happened and then he has a dream where he sees a vision of like this dark landscape that kind of looks like hexagonal from star wars rise of skywalker for all those people who saw it and liked it all seven of you so with this triangular thing just floating in space guys if you like 80s horror movies that are just full of honest practical effects you're going to love this movie i don't want to give a lot of the plot away because i don't really think i need to to sell it but this is a dark twisted hospital horror it's a lovecraftian twisted hospital horror need i say more and the love crafting elements are chiseled in there so nicely with this one it just makes you feel uncomfortable in and out with the entire ride it's wonderful absolutely wonderful number four event horizon released in 1997 directed by paul w s anderson written by philip eisner with a star-studded cast featuring sam neil lawrence fishborn and kathleen quinlan event horizon is a classic 1997 space horror set in 2047 so we've gotten to a time in history in this movie where we can do commercial mining on mars technology is so advanced that now we can just travel the lengths of deep space like nothing not too shabby also work gates warp gates in 27 years i don't know i think we can get there i mean face id that's already insane to me in 2015 they even have a colony on the moon which didn't happen yet nudge nudge elon musk hope you're watching he's not maybe so they plan on traveling faster than light speed which is impossible i don't care it's impossible or maybe it's not anymore man i have no idea space is so scary so we got sam neil and he breaks down the plan all sam neil like and back in 2014 they had made a ship capable of doing this light speed trick it didn't work too well because when the ship was supposed to reappear hours later it didn't who knows maybe the ship went back in time to be with his long-lost lover peggy carter let the ship live its life guys well it did return but way later so the crew headed towards neptune and checked out the lost ship in hopes to find answers of where it's been and what's happened so they hear a message from the event horizon ship and it translates to help me in latin see right there i put that thing in reverse and just so a few members board the ship and it doesn't look good at all right off the bat so the ship starts to like use the crew's fears and secrets against them that's all i'll say kind of like in as above so below you got to face your demons in this one if you liked movies like cloverfield paradox or interstellar like all these twisted space movies you're gonna like this one a lot i'll be surprised if you haven't seen it it's super dark the practical effects are mint and it's a classic you must have seen it number three the cabin in the woods directed by drew goddard and written by joss whedon the cabin in the woods is a fresh take on the classic hey here's a bad guy here's its powers now come together do a big group hug cry a bit bam bam we'll use our love to kill him no it's not like that it's different in a good way we open up with a group of friends as they head to a secluded cabin in the woods and then once they arrive they find this huge collection of haunted relics in the cellar they don't know it's haunted very important part after reading a passage from one of the books they begin being hunted down by killer zombies that's what happens when you read passages out of books now this already sounds like it's been done before in movies and that's exactly what they want you to think at this part so while the gang acts like a bunch of stereotypical teens and a slasher flick scientists are actually working behind the scenes to ensure that everything at the cabin in the woods is going as planned that's right so while they're all drinking and playing truth or dare with the heads of animals no i'm not kidding [Music] yeah no that's no one does that no whenever it does i've done it once okay get out get out of here so these scientists are ensuring that the ancient ones get what they want which is a sacrifice of course of course the haunted relics are there purposely so that they are discovered so in the movie it said that the lovecraftian gods known as the ancient ones actually exist so in order to keep them calm cool and collect and hopefully not destroy the entire world a sacrifice must be done and this is where our leads come in for a twisted tale of people being bet on for how they're gonna die it's actually pretty hilarious at parts and scary too it is still scary can't forget to mention that this movie has a handful of scenes that actually really messed me up for a few hours after i saw it like sure it's kind of a parody horror movie but at the same time these scenes are happening you are watching a group of friends being stalked by terrifying things the shots the music it's all there it's and it's hard not to love the cast too i mean the entire time you're watching sure you're rooting for the main characters and all but like the scientists are also the main characters they're doing all this to save the world so you're kind of like ah yeah yeah yeah yep with a nice little double twist ending the cabin in the woods did quite well with critics and many have actually wanted a sequel i'd watch a sequel i mean all those monsters we only saw a fraction of what those things could do number two cloverfield the classic shaky cam blockbuster was released back in 2008. god it's been that long eh god it feels like that was just a week ago this counts as a lovecraftian horror movie and i'll tell you why it was directed by matt reeves the mastermind behind the planet of the apes trilogy the new planet of the apes which is very important that planet of the apes trilogy not the one where mark wahlberg is like huh that's the statue of liberty what not bad not a bad impersonation and it was written by drew goddard the guy who went on to write the cabin in the woods that movie i talked about a minute and 10 seconds ago be nice if i nailed that cloverfield was the first movie that made me physically uncomfortable to watch like really all my friends weren't a fan of the whole pov shaky cam thing for an entire movie but for me it felt like it was something fresh i mean sure it would have been nice to actually see this lovecraftian monster more than we did but that's the best part it's nice when things are bottled up don't tell us what's going on don't tell us what's gonna happen just show us what the main characters are seeing and we'll figure it out we figure it out or we don't that's just how it goes sometimes you watch a movie and you're like or sometimes you watch it and you're like yep i understood every single part of that movie i'm absolutely seeing that again so we started off with our leads at a farewell party ironically a farewell party so we got lizzy kaplan jessica lucas tj miller they're having a decent time when all of a sudden there's a big explosion and we see the statue of liberty's head huh statue of liberty's head get out of town call back i knew i had it somewhere yeah so off the bat you think oh it's godzilla now it feels scarier somehow like in godzilla they had these beautiful shots that show the beast in beast mode coming out of the water but here it's just the actors reacting to the world as it horrifically changes before their very eyes and if you haven't seen clovery field i think it's time you give it a shot even if you have seen it and you weren't a fan the first time go back watch it again with all these modern handheld cam movies out it's kind of nice to go back to like the og blockbuster shaky cam horror movie it's also cool to see alien monster movies from the same perspective as the leads that's the best part and finally number one color out of space okay this movie is insanity at its finest released in 2019 directed by richard stanley color out of space stars nicholas cage julie richardson and julian hilliard who we recognize as young luke from haunting of hill house with the glasses oh he's so cute i always want to grab his glasses and just clean them off you know so right off the bat i knew that this cast like doing crazy so what is the color of space and why is this so crazy you ask hmm let me tell you a few things good sir so without giving the ending away we started off with the family sleeping hanging out doing their thing some are on their phones probably watching some more top five scary vids i don't know maybe chase new top 10 vibe channel i don't know but all of a sudden a pink meteorite crashes and lands near their house now normally you would think maybe it's just an alien it is based on the hp lovecraft story also titled color out of space so it's probably worse than an alien egg if i'm being honest it is it's much worse so without giving too much away the meteor starts making people act different this family starts acting a little bit off to say the least and it might be the most ambitious horror movie i've seen in a very long time i watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and i gotta tell you i watched it again the next day i watched this movie when i was tired and i was doing like the slow blinks you know and then by time the credits rolled i was sitting up like it's 4 am i got to go to work i think i don't know it made me question my existence i had no idea what i was watching at times but i enjoyed all of it i didn't watch the trailer or anything going into this film and i strongly recommend you do the same just go to netflix type the movie in grab a glass of water and just sit there and don't blink or move or talk to anybody and just watch it i felt like i was watching halloweentown at the beginning like it starts off fun a little bit cheesy now i say the acting is bad because everybody in the movie amps it up so much once it gets going they were clearly putting some stuff in their back pocket acting wise until it was time to show the big guns so these subtle character changes that happen on and off screen are so good the best part of the movie that in my opinion makes it worth watching is nicholas cage and i know people like to mock how extra he is in movies i've done it we've all done it but it makes sense in this one it's such a slow burn in the entire film this lovecraftian cosmic horror was the perfect film to use nicolas cage's crazy acting style the fact that he is the same guy who did national treasure is so funny to me he's nuts i actually love him the director asked nicholas cage to use the same style of performance that he did in vampire's kiss so if you've seen
