I’m always up for a good horror, especially cosmic, Lovecraftian type horror. A few I’ve come across:

1) The ritual - about some hikers that stray from the path and come up against some Nordic folklore.

2) Black Mountain Side - a group of archeologists are researching an area in remote Canada and come across something ancient.

3) Older Gods (can stream free on Fandango) - Very Lovecraftian and it does a good job at at.

4) The Empty Man

5) The Endless

If anyone has any other suggestions, I’m game

One of my favorites that doesn't get much recognition is John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness". An excellent, slow-burn cosmic horror masterpiece. Fantastic blend of science and religion. Very Lovecraftian.

Curse of the Demon aka Night of the Demon. The latter is the original British version. I prefer it to the U.S. edited one.

Village of the Damned 1960. Based on the story “The Midwich Cuckoos.”

The Witches 1966 (not the Roald Dahl one) hard to find it stars Joan Fontaine.

Night of the Eagle aka Burn Witch Burn. Based on Fritz Leiber’s The Conjure Wife.

The Hidden.

“Event Horizon’
