Got Gerald's Way and Tetsuo downloading and am not even looking at what they're about. So I'll see what's good.

To be perfectly honest I think the original Alien might actually be in a way what I'm truly looking for. A group of unsuspecting people who morally earned nothing of what was about to happen to them and were consumed by a cosmic horror that they could never possibly understand that clearly had a history that was never explained but still all-consuming.

You know what **** all of you I think I'm just gonna watch Alien. There's really no way to go wrong with that.

Or anything along those lines that makes you feel like you don't matter in the face of the overwhelming evil on display. You can interpret that liberally since I imagine the concept isn't really explored that much and I just want whatever I can get. Basically if the horror isn't really so much out to get you as you're just in its way I'll be happy.

But god damn when with Guillermo Del Toro make that At the Mountains of Madness movie already?
in terms of any of that these might be a bunch of shots in the dark but here are some sick movies regardless that may or may not be applicable
you should watch these

The Color Out of Space (2010) - IMDb
Five Million Years to Earth (1967) - IMDb

Is The Color Out of Space actually any good or is it just a ****ty Lovecraft adaptation?

Seriously though, is there a horror movie out there that's more Lovecraftian than Alien? They wake up for no apparent reason but to explore an alien world that they have no idea of, then they explore it and it's completely bizarre and indefinable except that it's just indefinable and has some **** that's omfg?! Then a lifeform beyond their comprehension wrecks their absolute **** and they can't even deal with it, all die but one person who Jesus ****ing Christ she may or may not have lost her mind? Forget about the other movies. Alien is ****ing Lovecraft.

Already awesome. More for the Twilight Zone moral **** than the Lovecraft ****, but ****ing awesome anyway. I know it was inspired by Lovecraft and is about as Lovecraft as you're going to get besides Alien, but I'd call Alien more Lovecraft tbh. And either way that's basically two movies that are doing what I'm looking for. I'm probably gonna end up rewatching it soon.

The Hitch-Hiker (1953)

One of my favorite noir films by one of my favorite actresses and directors, Ida Lupino. I think this was also the first one directed by a woman. The movie was based on a real-life psychopathic murderer named Billy Cook but the story was changed to appease the film censors of that time. Good acting, directing, and emotional tension running throughout the movie, combined with desolate scenery, make this one a worthy addition to any film noir list.


The Hitch-Hiker - Full Movie - GREAT QUALITY HD (1953)

Told you.
Should I mention Event Horizon?
You've seen Dark Star of course? Carpenter's first ever movie? It's not a horror but it is ****ing hilarious, basically hippies in space but, kind of, taken seriously. Not really.
Oh, and it has talking planet-buster bombs.
And an alien who looks like a beachball.
