Why Cosmic Horror Never Gives You Control

Описание: Cosmic horror operates on a simple principle: Human understanding has limits.

These films are built around scale, indifference, and the collapse of control.
Knowledge does not lead to safety. Survival does not restore order.
In this Retro Horror School lesson, we’re exploring how cosmic horror works, how it dismantles human systems, tempts viewers with false mastery, and leaves consequences in place long after the credits roll.

This episode covers:

Why knowledge escalates danger
How control functions as an illusion
What happens when meaning collapses
And what to watch for as perspective shifts

Next, we’re applying this exact framework to a film that pushes cosmic horror into deep space, where isolation, scale, and human arrogance collide.
