Sorry for being a little late to the party - and actually this is not a film but a TV series:
'Archive 81' on Netflix. Not directly based on Lovecraft but imho felt quite lovecrafty...

I want to estch It as I have been told that It has a lovecraftian Style that I'm going to enjoy.

Yeah, most odd and intriguing ... I'm not sure how I feel about it - very uneasy certainly - but it's definitely got me hooked so far.

Spoiler alert - Archive 81
I wish they had wrapped it up in one season.
I see Netflix trying to stretch it out and then losing interest and never finishing it properly.
Shame.

I see you've got "the Endless" on your list, I'd recommend "Spring" by the same guys, it's more Romance than Horror, almost your typical Boy meets Girls story, but against a HP lovecraft inspired backdrop.

Nice to see Mr Tough Guy talkin' love and romance!

In the TV field, try ‘True Detective’ season 1. It’s Lovecraft influence is subtle and low key but genuinely ‘real world’ creepy.
Don’t bother with season 2 - it changed for the worse into a standard police procedural.

'Love, Death + Robots' on Netflix has a few episodes with a Lovecraftian flavour, with 'The Tall Grass' clearly including an unnamed Lovecraft himself as the main character!

I found 'Love, Death + Robots' to be an unexpected gem. I'm not a fan of animation but this series provided a mix of animation and top notch cgi, I also liked that each episode was a self contained story with none of the usual 'dragging it out to 4 seasons' nonsense. I thought it was really good.

Love, death and robots is in my "to do" list as It has been strongly recomended.

I only found it last week and have burned through almost all the episodes - each is about 10 to 15mins (give or take a few mins) and as the Moose said, is a self-contained tale. Some are funny, some are action, some are horror, but each seems to be a little gem with a unique flavour. It reminds me somewhat of Black Mirror in its feel, if not its execution. There's also a great Lovecraftian flavoured 'Weird WW2' episode with Russian monster-hunters ... one of my faves.

'Cabinet of Curiosities' on Netflix - not just Lovecraftian in flavour, it actually has 'Pickman's Model' and 'Dreams in the Witch House' as two of its 45min standalone episodes! Netflix are really getting it right with these little bite-size tasty treats.

Great film not listed yet: Roger Corman's The Haunted Palace, 1963.

Allegedly part of Corman's Poe Cycle, this film begins and ends with Vincent Price reciting a few lines of the Poe poem by this name. Then everything in between is The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Price does a bang up job as Ward!

"Annihilation" does Colour out of Space better than any movie I've seen. Some of the horror might stay with you though.
