"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

I like it a lot.

thoughts:

spoiler

I think I could do without the CG tentacles inside the video camera, although I like the ones coming out of the pyramid, and the practical monster at the end could probably be cut to halftime on screen.

I want to see their other videos.
