When I think of Lovecraft, I think of the Cthulhu Mythos. I have never seen (I know, shame on me) Re-animator, but I have heard/read enough about it that I assumed that it had no dealings with any ancient old ones...
Agreed. The Sequel gets more into a bit. The first one - certainly not.

I think I remember a Dagon movie, but it was pretty cheesy. Will have to check that bad boy out in the future.
Well....sadly yes.
I do wish someone would do a real mythos film, but good representations of that are left to video games and board games.

I remember a few years ago Del Toro was rumored, but I am not sure that he would even be a good choice. He may go so beyond the weird into "I don't know what the hell is going on" that it is not terrifying anymore.
Lovecraft should be horror first. Horror at glimpsing something beyond.
Carpenter did just that in Mouth of Madness.
Sam Neil did a damn good job as well. And I loved the casting of Jürgen Prochnow.
Now, earlier in the thread, someone mentioned Christine. That book terrified me as a kid. The movie...like a lot of King movies is just ehhh.....
But not sure what else Carpenter could have done with that story.
Little disappointed no one mentioned his early, early, tripped out space epic....DARK STAR>>>>
