Trivia
The story was written after director David A. Roberts' friend passed away during the pandemic. When told he couldn't see his friend because of the quarantine, he was instead informed that they could have a video call the next day instead. Unfortunately his friend passed away before they got chance to talk. The story of Older Gods was written in Davids grief and guilt of not being able to talk to his friend before it was too late and ultimately discover what people are willing to do to try and remove that weight of guilt.

It Was Almost There!

I think it has some nice points to this film, but in some ways it missed the mark to have the right tone for a Lovecraften horror. The set up was great, investigation of what happened to a friend when investigating some cult like activies works.

But it had to much drama, and not enough horror. Some moments had good tension, but overall it wasn't there as much as it could have been. Some of the dream stuff was pretty cool though, and the cinematography was nice. There were some beautiful locational shots too.

I also think with it being cult linked there could have been more cultists stalking the lead. But one guy messing with you isn't really as scary as it could be.
