This genre of film is termed a Lovecraftian horror, sometimes used interchangeably with "cosmic horror", which 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. It is named after American author H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937).
Filmed around 2011, according to Jacob Lacy's bio.
Achilles and the tortoise was a problem that arose around 450 B.C., with the Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea. Zeno developed these thought experiments as a way to show the inherent problems of Pythagorean philosophy. It was described by Aristotle in the treatise Physics. The paradox concerns a race between the fleet-footed Achilles and a slow-moving tortoise. The two start moving at the same moment, but if the tortoise is initially given a head start and continues to move ahead, Achilles can run at any speed and will never catch up with it. Zeno's argument rests on the presumption that Achilles must first reach the point where the tortoise started, by which time the tortoise will have moved ahead, even if but a small distance, to another point; by the time Achilles traverses the distance to this latter point, the tortoise will have moved ahead to another, and so on.
A flatland is a stretch of land with no hills, valleys, or mountains. Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott, first published in 1884. Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions.
