A lot of sci-fi/fantasy movies from the 80s/90s have this sort of Lovecraft-light vibe that's missing from the "realism" of film in the decades since. Not so much "cosmic horror" as "incomprehensibility lies just below the surface of things".

I don't even think much modern horror gets this. It's too laden with message. The Weird doesn't have a message. It Is. That's what makes it beyond human ken.
