Eldritch Location: The Motion Picture - starring Eerie Scenery, as itself!

Though they are almost never based on any Lovecraft stories, and almost never contain any of the usual trappings of a stereotypical Lovecraft story (eldritch tomes, weird monsters, gruesome and shocking Gothic secrets, rituals and chants invoking weird alien gods with unpronounceable names), some viewers get a "Lovecraftian" vibe off of films like these, as almost any list of "Lovecraftian" films, allowed enough reader suggestions, will eventually include a handful of them.

In general, what these films tend to share in common is one or more broken or frail characters who end up stepping into a bizarre landscape, where sinister, unexplainable (and usually unexplained) things begin happening. Is it a real location, tainted by some unexplained Mythos weirdness or a scientific experiment gone wrong? Is it a hallucinatory reflection of the characters' shattered minds? Is it a strange Dream World? Is it just a case of True Art Is Incomprehensible? Don't expect any easy answers....
