those tentacles are too short to reach the ground and it's impractical for something of that size to bring its mouth to the ground. how the hell does that thing eat?
it has a really long tongue like an ant eater to eat stuff off the ground. the tentacles are for swatting away small interdimensional Black person creatures trying to parasite off its soft underbelly.
It's more than that, but yeah. Lovecrafts biggest fears were very simple, in your face, and totally unavoidable. Picnic at Hanging Rock covers it perfectly. And is also, just a very nice looking movie in general.
Each other or shit that wandered in. IIRC in the Dark Tower books they see something like the Grand Canyon with these things roaming around down inside. The implication is that perhaps stuff from other worlds finds its way to their world/dimension and that is the primary source of food for them
The canyon had “thinnies” which were like weird portals that presumably went to where these things are from.
They can hypnotise you also and things reach out from them, I’m guessing these monsters.

it pissed me off in Cloverfield sometimes you could hear the monster walking around miles away but other times for the shock/jumpscare he'd appear out of nowhere. they could have stole the trex gimmick from jurassic park. like the building fear of it getting louder and louder and closer and closer instead of jumpscare
The monsters from the Mist aren't Kaiju. They are just foreign animals for all intents and purposes. Normal military weaponry chews them up like anything else.
movie didn't claim they were kaijus
most were just interdimensional equivalents of existing creatures
but most military funds would need to be directed toward fighting said behemoths in such a scenario
Tfw the shitty shock ending ruined any chance of post-apoc monster kino set a few years later when the Mist has taken over the whole world and survivors are clinging to life
The spiders from this movie still live in my head rent free. They were one of the only monsters done in practical effects and it shows with how horrifying they were
I always wished they made this a series tbh. Like it's such an interesting concept. I could easily see another book set during the time of the first one or an anthology.

It sucks in birds
Like a filter feeder in the ocean
alien birds?
interdimensional
they stretch.
It's actually an herbivore and eats from the canopy of tall alien trees, like a giraffe.
>it's impractical
NO SHIT SHERLOCK
How does it eat?
You should be more concerned about its stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
It would support Palestine because Israeli weaponry spooks it.
It eats air like an air fern.
>the creature from another dimension doesn’t make sense in our reality
…. Yeah
it was a creature from another dimension where gravity and all primal forces and shieet were different
It's here illegally. As long as my taxes don't feed it, I couldn't care less.
It's natural habitat is deep swampy lands, the feet touch the bottom while the tentacles grab food on the surface
it has a really long tongue like an ant eater to eat stuff off the ground. the tentacles are for swatting away small interdimensional Black person creatures trying to parasite off its soft underbelly.
THis is still the most lovecraftian movie ever made, fight me
Not gunna fight, no reason to. I am right.
>school kids go to a rock and get lost
>50 years later still nothing comes close
It's more than that, but yeah. Lovecrafts biggest fears were very simple, in your face, and totally unavoidable. Picnic at Hanging Rock covers it perfectly. And is also, just a very nice looking movie in general.
One of the first scenes has nic cages c**t daughter be a gay witch which gets interrupted by a Black person, didnt even continue from there on.
It's actually From Beyond
Wich of the hundred renditions to it?
I like this one
Nice
Made 10 minutes feel like 1
Mothman is lovecraftian though
mothmananon returned
BASED MOTHMAN PROPHECIES CHADS
Picrel is pretty solid too. Dean Stockwell is in it
Can't be that unnoticed if its eating stocking guys from supermarket
everything from that dimension was a predator. What the frick did they all end up eating.

Those big cricket-wasps didn't seem to be predators.
everything in the ocean [which consists of like 90% of life on earth] is a predator of some sort
>tfw no sequel where the military goes to their dimension to frick shit up
>US military learns that when tortured or in distress, the creatures from that dimension produce a chemical in their body that can be used to fuel power plants
>sends this guy in

I'd watch it
I hope you have the stomach for it
Title?

How did military closed the portal.
they didn't
could have opened up again the next day/hour
>they didn't
but mist dissipated
not before 10/50+ larger angrier behemoths crossed through

OP's monster is a kaiju.
The sacrifice of the kid did
So how did that huge monster walk through what I assume is a Stargate-size portal?
No reason to think the portal was only Stargate sized. Could be massive and obscured by the Mist.
it's more like Half-Life where the creatures just teleport in essentially at random
Imagine the shit heaps that thing leaves behind. Imagine the ending was their car getting crushed by a turd.

what movie?
Barbie [2023]
Halo: Combat Evolved
The Mist (2007)
It's about a group of people who hold up at a grocery store when a spooky mist roles into town. All kinds of drama ensues.
Not all monsters are hostile. He was just taking a relaxing walk and enjoying the fresh planet Earth air. What a nice guy.
privileged shitlords
those bugs and spiders looked like they had it kinda rough

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mist_(TV_series)
I tried that but it's not really creatures from another realm but more guilt and supernatural shit like ghosts
There's nothing to it, expanding it would just make it mundane and boring.
I always hoped they'd make a movie showing the military getting to the portal and shutting it down. Might have been a hell of a battle
Reminder to watch this film in black and white, as the director intended
true detective season 1 was pure lovecraft
