Surrealism in cinema refers to the use of dreamlike and irrational elements in films to create a unique visual style that challenges conventional notions of reality. It originated from the artistic movement of surrealism in the 1920s and 30s, which sought to tap into the subconscious mind through the use of irrational imagery and symbolism. In film, surrealism often employs techniques such as discontinuous editing, unexpected imagery, and the use of special effects to create a dream-like atmosphere and to challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The aim of surrealist films is to provoke an emotional and intellectual response from the audience, and to blur the boundaries between the conscious and the unconscious mind.
Horror featuring madness. Updated weekly.
Trashy cult cinema from the fringes of good taste.

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.
Missing on Trakt:
- Corpse-O-Rama (2001)
- The Whisperer in Darkness (2007)
- Lovecraft Chronicles (2009 Series)
Films and series that have a gothic aesthetic or themes.
Feature films directed by John Carpenter.
To wrap up this list, I've included the two episodes directed by Carpenter from "Masters of Horror," namely "Cigarette Burns" and "Pro-Life."
Without a doubt, the #1 curated list of all H.P. Lovecraftian cinema! It's organized from hits to lesser hits to "your desperate for another film from this genre and will take anything". ;) I've left off any piece that is deemed too low budget, lacks other-wordly beings, or is just plain boring.
Message me if you can think of a movie that is not on the list that you think should be. :)
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.
