Grindhouse Lovecraft can work. Look at Suspiria and Stuart Gordon's Dagon. Lovecraft might be about atmosphere, but the themes of existential terror and fear of powerful cosmic entities can still work with gore and sex thrown in. It might be an unpopular opinion, but I liked Italian lowbudgeter the Shunned House a lot and it didn't skimp on either.
