![]() ![]() The film is actually very inspired by Lovecraftian works (as is, apparently, James Wan in general). So my question - is the Lovecraft reference random, or a reference to things to come (please!), or just letting Chekov down. Aquaman is much more Greek myth than Lovecraft. ![]() In Aquaman, radiant Nicole Kidman would have to be the extraplanar monster and the horrific offspring would be the hunky demigod Aquaman. The closest I can come to understanding a Dunwich Horror reference is that the Lovecraft story describes an extraplanar monster that produces horrific offspring with an inbred hillbilly woman. Aquaman was visually very beautiful and a fine film but there was no Lovecraftian horror I could discern. I was pleased and surprised - the principle of Chekov's Gun means to me that being conspicuously shown that book meant that Lovecraftian elements were forthcoming. The camera comes close - we are meant to read the spine of the book. ![]() In the opening scenes of the movie Aquaman, we are shown his father's apartment. ![]()
