Nowadays, most horror movies have smeared the credibility of the horror genre by using
screamers, which are fast scenes with loud noises meant to get viewers to jump from their
seats. Apart from that, movies with a physical foe are soon to lose the fear that could have
been induced in the viewer, for any human carrying a weapon is able to kill it. The overall
purpose of this paper is to discover, analyse and bring to light the peculiarities of
Lovecraft, the father of “Cosmic Horror” and author whose view of the world was
considered by Ralickas (2008) to be harshly realistic or pessimistic. His horror, unlike the
one utilized in the present, uses psychological elements to bring the viewers to feel
uncomfortable and disregard the security that routine poses. Not only does his pantheon
of ruthless creatures with doubtful morale accomplish that, but they provoke on the
characters in the story a sense of horror and despair that prevents them from fighting
back even if a weapon is at hand. However, the creatures and sensorial elements are not
the only ones in charge of provoking fear; a well developed story with a well-placed
rhythm of action or pace does also contribute to the general feeling of fear. [-]
