The Hound

About This Movie

The Hound (2017) takes a grim dive into Lovecraftian horror, tapping into the eerie atmosphere that Lovecraft is known for. The story follows a trio of graverobbers who stumble upon an amulet in a grave, and things get dark pretty quickly. The pacing is something to note; it builds tension slowly, almost like a thick fog rolling in, with moments that creep under your skin. The practical effects here really add to the unsettling vibe, embodying that raw horror without relying too much on digital enhancements. The performances are solid, but it’s the overall dread that lingers long after the credits roll. There’s a distinct sense of foreboding that feels true to Lovecraft's themes of the unknown, which is refreshing in the genre.
