I suppose you could also check out Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness" and "Event Horizon"
I think your best bet if you want to evoke the same feeling as the game, is to read, or listen to some Audiobooks by Lovecraft himself. The narrator in the game, Wayne June has even read a few himself!
Or the 1982 version of "The Thing." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7t-919Ec9U
"In the Mouth of Madness" is a good attempt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PFcOeM_Usk
There is also the low-mid budget film "Dagon", which is a loose adaptation of "The Shadow Over Insmouth" (ie the upcoming inspiration for the COVE level). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yAnVNy27co

Other Lovecraftian adaptations by Stuart Gordon are; Re-Animator, From Beyond and Castle Freak.
I'm going by memory here, but one film I seem to recall does capture the feel of a Lovecraftian underworld is House - a horror comedy directed by Steve Miner (1986).
If I think of any others, I'll let you know.
Small band of flawed warriors? check! Horde of monsters? check! Big BAD? check!
the mist is a nice movie about the stephen king's mist that is noice cuz stephen loved Lovecraft and also the thing of carpenter is in that theme and is one of the most amazing horror movie ever, also the cabin in the wood is one of the few good horror movie made recently and has a lovecraft theme, but nothing for now can represent Lovecraft in movies, he is just one of the best writing of the american litterature (also cuz american litterature sucks)
You better have been downloading, OP.
Also, now I think about it, lots of "trinkets" for bonuses fighting the monsters and "witty" banter/barks from characters... Different encounter locals, Museum, Sewers, Crypts.

the theme is the classical "fox horror serie" theme, there is just a lil'theme of Del Toro movies but it is not enough for me...
Small band of scottish soldiers ambushed by monsters then having to use their wits to survive.
Regarding the Strain, The OP asked for movies/shows that channels the DD vibe. Flawed characters, terrible monsters, cynical world...practically a modern-day DD.
Not to mention everyone has their own tastes, if I and several others enjoy these supposed "cliche" shows, its our choice to recommend it to the OP in the chance he/she might enjoy it as well!
