Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT James Wan's upcoming Lovecraft movie already seems to be facing some rivalry from another horror adaptation. Given how James Wan's long line of work as a filmmaker primarily includes mainstream films like Furiosa 7, The Conjuring, Aquaman, and Insidious, it is interesting how the director is now pursuing a passion project by adapting HP Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu instead of solely focusing on mass appeal.

But how do the Aquaman director's movies rank? In contrast, indirect movie adaptations, like Annihilation, The Endless & In The Mouth of Madness, have had a better success rate because they do not purely rely on the author's original descriptions of the fear of the unknown and the unseen. Instead, they present their own unique storylines while only borrowing some Lovecraftian themes and concepts.
The original Dredge video game treads a similar path by initially presenting itself as a simple fishing adventure game. However, the more a player progresses with its missions, the more the game unravels its cosmic undercurrents by introducing elements from Lovecraftian mythos. The game's blueprint could traverse incredibly well to the big screen because it makes Lovecraft's complex ideas more tangible.
