lol.
That's a good idea for another thread: Movies that are long overdue.
The fact that Lovecraft has never been properly adapted - and no film has yet been created surrounding the Cthulu Mythos - is fucking criminal.
I went back and started to reRead Lovecraft a few months ago. My God. All things sciFi stem from that man right there.
At The Mountains of Madness--->Who Goes There--->The Thing From Another World-->The Thing
Word has it that Guillermo Del Toro has penned a script for Mountains. Can you imagine the guy that brought us Pan's Labyrinth doing Lovecraft. It's a marriage made in movie fucking heaven.
Oh, speaking of Lovecraft: ReAnimator is another priceless jem. The short story is actually much darker/creepier, but the movie is a hoot.
My favorite genre is Zombie films. My go to zombie pick is the original Day of the Dead. Most Romero fans love Dawn the best, but for me there's nothing that beats the total seriousness and claustrophobia of Day. It's got a bleakness to it that I love in my apocalyptic tales.
