Older Gods

There is no political stuff here whatsoever, zero.

In fact, just imagine a Lovecraftian film that tried to push gender identity, climate change, and all the other bullshit. It would be hilarious, wouldn't it? It would be completely besides the point. It would totally crush any attempts at creating mood and trying to establish complex philosophical notions.

Which is just another reason to pursue more Lovecraftian films. Except, of course, if Spielberg or Guillermo del Toro did one. In that case, we might get something truly hilariously stupid.

The movie itself is fairly low-budget, and leaves a lot of questions unanswered, which is fair enough considering that it's a Lovecraftian film, and one that doesn't focus on the monster aspects of it as it does the more philosophical stuff. So it's a very ambitious film, but I don't think it succeeded as much as was intended. How could it? Still, it's decent.
