I was so disappointed in this movie.
Knowing DT was wanting to do ATMoM and was into Lovecraft I was expecting to see some elder god shit in this but nope, just incest with ghosts.
Granted the ghost effects were excellent but there were so many red fucking herrings.
Why was the mud red? I was hoping it would turn out to be some ancient god's blood who was buried under the mountain eons ago

I just want a true sequel to Aliens. Is that too much to ask?

Well, ‘Crimson Peak’ is more like del Toro’s loveletter to Hammer Horror & the films of Mario Bava (in particular) – the sets, the use of colour, &c.

I wasn’t all that impressed by the film either, but I wasn’t expecting anything Lovecraftian going into it.

I believe the red clay was just an aesthetic choice on del Toro’s part – it is visually striking when you see it contrasted against the hwhite snow, especially the crimson footprints in the snow. IMHO it is a way to make the audience alert – red = colour blood & danger. Even the Sharpe family’s crest is made to look like a skull, so it is probably just del Toro having fun with the symbolism/imagery more than anything else.

If you are looking for Elder Gods, the Necronicon, necromancy & striking visuals, look no further than Roger Corman’s ‘The Haunted Palace’. The title was due to studio interference, who wanted to capitalise on the previous Poe-adaptations – the film is really based on ‘The Case of Charles Dexter Ward’ with elements of ‘The Shadow Over Innsmouth’, by Lovecraft. One of my all-time favoruites – very stunning film with great performances, especially by Vincent Price.

I dunno maybe the ship has a centrifuge that simulates gravity?

Lovecraft in his earlier years thought that kikes were "alpines" like southern germanics or northern italians. He also considered sophy to be "marvelously anglicized", that is to say he fell for her passing for gentile trick. After he married her they moved to Jew York City and he found out what kind of company she kept, ie kikes of the sort we'd recognize. That is in fact where he penned his most nationalist and racialist works like Horror at Red Hook, He, The Street, and a couple other short poems.

Lovecraft actually became more racist against jews, niggers, and levantines through experience while the same socialization caused him to become amicable toward Irishmen and Poles. Man, its almost like this completely correlates with both statistical and anecdotal data we collect today wherein whites and a japs are the only races which people like more the more they are around them while conversely the more they are around nigs, saracens, jews, and spics they more they hate them. Funny huh?

Absolutely hilarious!
You know what is even funnier? He never signed the divorce papers.

Aliens is already pretty much the perfect action movie. Is there any way to go from there?

Well, there's always **downhill*

Terminator 2? Action garbage with 80's flavour isn't exactly rare.
