O Enigma de Outro Mundo e O Farol não são adaptações de Lovecraft, são só inspirados. Lista meio forçada
Concordo com os dois rs. Mas Aniquilação aí já é forçar a barra
O título diz inspirados, né. E O Enigma é o filme mais lovecraftiano que existe sem ser adaptação
Re-Animator em primeiro, perfeito. Stuart Gordon entendia Lovecraft como ninguém
A Cor que Caiu do Espaço com o Nicolas Cage surtando é tudo que eu precisava
