While James Wan is mostly known as a multiplex legend, the horror director could benefit from downsizing his ambitions when it comes to his H.P. Lovecraft adaptation The Call of Cthulhu. While H.P. Lovecrafts racism makes him a divisive figure in literary circles, his influence on the horror genre remains inescapable. The author is frequently credited with being one of the earliest writers to combine the tropes of cosmic horror into a cohesive whole, creating an immersive fictional world that has since been expanded by iconic writers like Stephen King, Alan Moore, and Thomas Ligotti.
