Short Lovecraftian Film: Between the Stars

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

An old, but very good short Lovecraftian film was recently uploaded to Youtube. Djie Han Thung's 1998 "Between the Stars" is based off H.P. Lovecraft's story "Azathoth." It effectively translates the poetic yearning for and strangeness of the starry void from Lovecraft's brief vignette onto film. This short movie is also notable for being a Lovecraftian short without a blatant instance of cosmic horror. Instead, there is more of Lovecraft's dreamiest weirdism and beauty at play here.
