Which of those are actually worth watching? I figure most are probably near unwatchable. I hope I'm wrong though.

Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
573 readers

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.
Rules:
- Please NO "Call of Cthulhu RPG" content (there are other great groups)
- PLEASE ONLY MYTHOS-INSPIRED CONTENTS
- Share stories, books, authors and any other works from the mythos
- Share reviews, analysis and theories on the lore
- Share videos, images and contents inspired by the lore
- Where possible share the link to the authors or the sources
- Ignore the call in your dreams as long as possible

MODERATORS
I know of at least 4 that are worth watching without even checking the list.
The first two Herbert West movies (Reanimator), The Color From Out of Space feat. Nic Cage (IMO the best one I've seen), and From Beyond for that cheesy B-movie badness.
I've seen a lot (not all 74) and most of them are just, like, shitty student projects with varying degrees of faithfulness to the source material.
Color Out of Space is one of my favorite movies
I just watched it after these posts. Thanks for the rec
Thanks! I'll check them out!
I watched Dagon (2001) and it's definitely low budget but it was scary as fuck
Yeah. I heard this one is pretty good. That and re-animator. Don't know the rest though.
I can personally guarantee on these one
- The Dunwich Horror (1970)
- Re-Animator (1985)
- From Beyond (1986)
- The Color Out of Space (2010)
- The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)
- Banshee Chapter (2013)
- Color Out of Space (2019)

Great! I'll put them on my watch list!
It's German for "the monster, the."
The deep ones (at least in my opinion) was terrible. I'm also a B movie fan, but it was just bad.
I agree with the other comments here for the rest.
Callgirl was funny, but more or less what you'd expect from a movie with that title.
