New Lovecraftian film solves cosmic horror issues.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Cosmic horror movies are often held back by one major issue, but a new Lovecraftian film might finally resolve these prevalent problems. Although horror is a vast genre, some of its subgenres are adopted in nearly every other film. For instance, typical supernatural horror that revolves around demons, witches, and spirits is a staple in most horror films and has been extensively explored by several movies and shows.
Considering how it is often challenging to cinematically capture "the fear of the unknown" H.P. Lovecraft portrays in his stories, Dredge's linear but effectively scary cosmic horror narrative may traverse well to the audiovisual medium. This would solve a major Lovecraftian adaptation issue because most direct book-to-screen portrayals of the author's stories struggle to convey the inexplicable terrors and eldritch horror that permeate his works.
Owing to this, it becomes incredibly hard for films to accurately portray the beings and horrors described in HP Lovecraft's stories. Dredge, however, ingeniously captures Lovecraftian themes by presenting them in a more tangible form. While the video game keeps players hooked with its everyday mini-quests and missions, it gradually introduces cosmic horror elements through character testimonials and creepy visuals of the unchartered domains of the great oceans.
Robert Eggers would also be an intriguing choice to direct Dredge because he has previously dabbled with Lovecraftian themes in films like The Lighthouse .
