"Something of a collector’s item for multiple reasons, this BFI blu-ray restoration of Daniel Haller’s 1965 chiller has a number of selling points to recommend it. It’s a late work from icon Boris Karloff, it features cult actor Nick Adams, and it’s a rare modern-day, British set outing of American International Pictures. The latter is surprising in itself, because this is an adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s The Color Out of Space, which dates back to 1927. Modernising a story from 1927 to 1965, then viewing it in 2024 offers a weird telescoping of baroque styles, and Die, Monster, Die! mixes genre elements in this strange cocktail of tropes..."

Will Beall, who penned Wan’s ‘Aquaman,’ is writing the screenplay. The film will most likely be part of Universal’s “Monsterverse” which already includes “The Invisible Man” and the upcoming “Wolfman.”
"James Wan is finally done with ‘Aquaman’ and already has a couple of projects lined up. It’s already been announced that he is adapting “The Call of Cthulhu,” based on the 1928 H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name. However, Wan has seemingly lined up another film as his potential next project..."

Fans of Lovecraftian horror and surreal vibes have a few solid options on the Nintendo Switch. Here are the best games to dive into cosmic horror.
"Lovecraft built a terrifying mythos through his works that have inspired stories and art for nearly a century. Video games, being the most substantial form of modern expression, are not immune to the influence of Lovecraftian cosmic horror. The Cthulhu / Lovecraft mythos lends itself to many genres of gaming, whether mystery, action, horror, or even slice of life, and game developers have not been slacking when it comes to creating great games with atmospheres of cosmic horror and mystery.
While the Nintendo Switch is usually known for its family-friendly games and light-hearted mainline titles, there are plenty of games on the Nintendo Shop that scratch the itch for players who want to experience something more existentially terrifying..."

"You've read HP Lovecraft books, watched adaptations of his work on the big screen, and even played a few games featuring his creepy creations. But have you ever read an HP Lovecraft manga?

"Dredge, developed by Black Salt Games and published by Team17, turned out to be one of the best games of 2023. The indie fishing-horror game landed to superb critic and player reviews, sold over one million copies in the first handful of months after its release, and the revenue was even put back into the game to create some expansions.
When the many awards ceremonies came around, Dredge was a regular nominee, even being put up for four accolades at the BAFTA awards, including for its narrative and game design. So, with Hollywood constantly on the hunt for known IPs to reboot or adapt for the big screen, it only makes sense that Dredge would get a film.
Dredge looks to have the makings of a possibly intense horror movie on the water. Importantly, the production company bringing Dredge to live-action, Salt Kitchen, will be bringing in developer Black Salt Games to further adapt the story and world for the big screen.
In the recent past, Story Kitchen’s co-founder has helped to appease gaming and movie fans with the Sonic the Hedgehog movies. Notably, after a poor response to Sonic’s initial design, the team pushed back the film and adjusted Sonic’s eyes to better fit the iconic character’s in-game design.
The co-founder, Dmitri M. Johnson, has been on a streak of video game adaptations which also includes the upcoming Tomb Raider animated series, Streets of Rage, Sifu, and Vampire Survivors. In theory, this means that Story Kitchen knows how to adapt video games in a way that creates a coherent movie and sticks to the rules and established lore of the IP.
While a window for the release of the Dredge movie hasn’t been announced, a mini synopsis has been revealed. As relayed in this IGN report, it’ll be along the lines of “The Sixth Sense on the water,” utilising the blend of influences from Ernest Hemingway and HP Lovecraft to create a grounded, atmospheric cosmic horror story..."
