A subgenre of horror films that are based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, a writer of horror and science fiction. Lovecraftian horror is characterized by themes of cosmic horror, dread, and the fear of the unknown, as well as the idea that humanity is insignificant in the face of vast, ancient, and otherworldly powers.
Lovecraftian Cinema typically features themes and elements from Lovecraft's stories, such as ancient and malevolent gods, monsters, and cults that worship them, forbidden knowledge, and insanity-inducing horrors beyond human comprehension. The visual style often includes grotesque and unsettling imagery, as well as a sense of foreboding and existential dread.
Also choosing to include other Lovecraftian works
Movies and shorts based on the works of HP Lovecraft (some only loosely), have Lovecraftian themes or strong references to Lovecraft or are clearly Lovecraft inspired.
Some might be fringe cases and not considered Lovecraftian by purists but are included because the atmosphere is suggestive of Lovecraft's work, there are clear nods to Lovecraft and in some case it is just because of name dropping or big tentacle monsters.
