H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

What begins as a psychological study soon descends into unimaginable terror when London’s Dream Machine unleashes an alien life form intent on world annihilation. (...)

Don't forget that he was taking pictures in Pecker (by John Waters). A great movie, I love that guy.

Mixed oneirologist up with onanist, gave that sentence a fairly different flavour

So it's going to be bad with some good ideas and excellent creature design, is what I'm hearing.
