Lovecraftian Horror
H.P. Lovecraft is regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. Themes of forbidden knowledge, non-human influences on humanity, inherited guilt, religion, risks of a scientific era, fate, and civilization under threat occupy Lovecraft's twisted and horrifying universe. Lovecraft was relatively unknown during his own time. Lovecraft's writing, particularly the so-called Cthulhu Mythos, has influenced fiction authors including modern horror and fantasy writers. Film and television adaptations of his works range from sublime to down-right terrible. Even fans have a difficult time discerning trash from treasure. Some of the concepts do not translate well to film. I have tried to encompass his works as well as notable films that echo his body of work in theme, tone and atmosphere.

Lovecraft and the dark folk tales of the Po Delta, a mysterious and remote part of northern Italy. 2002: One of the directors of the film comes across a manuscript in Montecatini (Italy) which may have belonged to the American writer. This journal, dated 1926, describes travels in Italy through the Po Delta in search of inspiration in the form of local folk stories: the Filò Tales. 2004: A small, tough crew of international filmmakers is put together with the help of David, a New York actor, to make a documentary on the finding of the journal and on the links between Lovecraft and the Po Delta. If the manuscript really did belong to Lovecraft, it would be an extraordinary discovery. As soon as they begin, however, the filmmakers find that Andrea Roberti disappeared in mysterious circumstances many years before, his car found abandoned on the banks of the Po.
