Older Gods is one of the year's best horror films, and that's saying a lot when 2023 also includes films like Talk to Me, Good Boy, and Evil Dead Rise. It sports a compelling mystery, great performances, creepy imagery, and an all-around great addition into the Lovecraftian horror genre. It's a movie that will really surprise audiences, especially considering it's a very low-budget film with an unbelievably small seven-person crew behind it.

Filmed during Covid, Older Gods is a mysterious horror movie that follows Chris (Rory Wilson) as he travels to the Welsh countryside to investigate the mysterious death of his best friend, Billy (Ieuan Coombs).

For those who are unaware of the term, also referred to as 'cosmic horror,' the subgenre gained its name from the brilliant but problematic 19th century author H.P. Lovecraft. The author typically wrote about misshapen, grotesque, and monstrous beings that come from other dimensions and universes. Some of the best Lovecraftian horror films include Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator, Alex Garland's Annihilation, Richard Stanley's Color Out of Space, and Paul W.S Anderson's Event Horizon.

The latest film to venture into the mind of Lovecraft is the low-budget horror film Older Gods, and suffice it to say, the film lives up to the pedigree of the subgenre.

Older Gods is an incredibly low-budget horror movie, with the film being shot during Covid by a small team in a short time.
