The Case of the Eight Dancing Scarecrows
Detective Lance pulled up in front of the farmhouse, marveling at the way the corn rattled in the field. The corn was wrong, he could tell that right away, and Lance could honestly say he had never seen corn look that way. The husks were brown, the corn inside turning black as it rotted on the stalk. He had been impressed by the amount of corn surrounding the farmhouse, acres of skeletal stalks that made the farmhouse feel more like an island in a dead corn sea. The police cars out front looked out of place in the dirt yard, and as he mounted the stairs, one of the rural cops came out to meet him.

A social worker was called to come in as the young boy was receiving additional treatment and evaluations. The social worker was warned that the child suffered from violent night terrors.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Block Island Sound' (2020)
This was pretty good Lovecraftian Horror. And again, Lovecraftian Horror isn't tentacle monsters, but rather a fantastic descent into madness. This movie depicts it so fucking well, and you're never exactly sure WHAT the fuck is going on. This could have also been cerebral in the way you're never perfectly sure if the main character is crazy or if supernatural shit is actually happening. However, I think that might have made the movie too boring and firmly answering that question is a part of a reveal that makes this movie so worth it. I'll talk about this more in the spoilers.
