Chill (2007)

Chill (2007), dir. Serge Rodnunsky, Rojack Films

The 00's were proving to be less than kind to the work of Lovecraft. The Tomb was hot garbage, but surely another yarn based on "Cool Air" would be good or at least acceptable? There actually was an earlier attempt in 2006, directed by Albert Pyun of all people, but seeing as to how that wasn't released until 2013, I think that will keep until the next Summer of Love (craft)

The Tomb (2007)

The Tomb (2007) dir. Ulli Lommel, the Shadow Factory/Boogeyman Movies International

Well, a Lovecraft film from the infamous Ulli Lommel. Surely the creative genius behind 1980's the Boogeyman and the Devonsville Terror would craft a half-way decent story, filled with shock and horror aplenty? Short version: no

Cthulhu (2007)

Cthulhu (2007) dir. Daniel Gildark, Arkham Northwest Productions/Cascadia Film Collective

The Call of Cthulhu set the bar pretty high, but there is always room for improvement, so why not another take on the story set in modern time? Well...

The Call of Cthulhu (2005)

The Call of Cthulhu (2005) dir. Andrew Leman, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society

We've seen the Great Old portrayed a few times before, but they were usually not so great. Here though makes up for everything, and honestly might be the best Lovecraft adaptation around. The film was the brainchild of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, a group of LARPers who went to the next level.
