Color Out of Space

Synopsis

It will consume you.

The Gardner family moves to a remote farmstead in rural New England to escape the hustle of the 21st century. They are busy adapting to their new life when a meteorite crashes into their front yard, melts into the earth, and infects both the land and the properties of space-time with a strange, otherworldly colour. To their horror, the family discovers this alien force is gradually mutating every life form that it touches—including them.

    Nic Cage is one of my favorite famous people, hands down. This has some real highs and some real lows. There’s automatically gonna be a lot of comparing to Mandy and I’ll come right out and say it’s not as good.... at all. But that’s coming from someone who doesn’t mind style over substance. Because if you didn’t like how empty Mandy felt, you might like this more! The acting from literally everyone is not great and the editing near the beginning is noticeably awful but... it’s just a lot of fun. Nic Cage yells about alpacas, he does some really funny voices, he goes crazy, it’s a fun time that I’ll probably never revisit.

    Nic Cage should be in every horror movie

    Great to see a Lovecraft text so painstakingly manipulated and re-imagined for the modern era. Richard Stanley has a clear-eye for the often unattainable images that emerge from such an uncomfortable figure in horror literature. The familial dynamics and the deliberate pacing goes hand in hand in connecting buried trauma with cosmic dread. It stumbles in the final stretch and budgetary constraints keep this from reaching the height of late-80s/90s Lovecraft adaptations, but it's mostly sturdy. Nicolas Cage, as always, is one of the bravest and greatest performers to ever step in front of a camera.

    my TIFF19 review for The Film Stage:

    “The way it’s made an’ the way it works ain’t like no way o’ God’s world. It’s some’at from beyond.”
    — H.P. Lovecraft, Color Out of Space

    Color Out of Space has long been one of H.P. Lovecraft’s scariest stories and central to that is its focus on a fear of not just the unknowable but the intangible, the things happening all around us all the time that we can’t even begin to perceive or comprehend. Lovecraft himself saw the story as a direct confrontation of contemporary sci-fi writers who thought of aliens in terms of human physicality and organization; a rebuke of the idea that when contact is made that we could…

    me at the beginning: the alpacas! 😊😊😊

    Wow what a trip! I enjoyed it over all but was annoying at times. There was a high pitch sound at first it seems like no bother but after a million times it becomes a little annoying. Great specials effects and crazy story. Not for everybody but check it out!
