Maybe check out Mr. Jones in addition to the other two.
I'll put those three on the list, but am I to understand that I've kind of accepted that any kind of Lovecraftian style horror, even not necessarily sci fi horror, is kind of hard to find? To be perfectly honest I think Romero zombie movies are actually closer to what I'm looking for than what I generally get unless they're just ****ty Lovecraft adaptations. I mean those movies are really about how the protagonists are just straight up ****ed in the face of an overwhelming enemy that can clearly never be overcome no matter what they do, which is kind of what I'd want from that kind of horror movie. Even though I'm not actually looking for zombie movies.
