Cosmic horror has struggled to find its footing in film, with few successful adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft's works. However, the upcoming movie based on the indie game Dredge promises to showcase how cosmic horror can be effectively portrayed on screen. Unlike traditional Lovecraftian narratives that often feature abstract and indescribable terrors, Dredge localizes its horror within maritime folklore, making its themes more relatable and adaptable for audiences. The game's protagonist, an active fisherman, faces eerie sea creatures, providing a linear narrative that contrasts with Lovecraft's typical passive characters. In addition to Dredge, James Wan is working on a direct adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu, while Mike Flanagan is set to reimagine Stephen King's The Mist. These projects reflect a renewed interest in cosmic horror, with hopes that they will pave the way for more adaptations of Lovecraft's works in the future.
