Customer Ratings & Reviews

I first viewed Color Out of Space on Shudder, gleeful to enjoy another of Nicolas Cage's recent movies (Mandy, Pig, Willy's Wonderland, etc.). The rich chromatic landscape and mind warping events of the movie felt very much like the Lovecraftian story it portrays. There are a few moments when humor plays a role that I did not expect or fully appreciate, although for many audiences it likely offers a reprieve from the sometimes graphic and disturbing scenes. I picked this disc up from Best Buy a few months ago, finding a great sale price that made the 4K UHD/Blu-Ray combo too tempting to resist. I do not own a 4K UHD player at this point, although the Blu-Ray transfer is terrific. I stand by my love for physical media, and this version rises above the streaming option I first watched on Shudder. Special features are limited, but you will receive a making of featurette, deleted scenes, and a photo gallery. Would a SteelBook version be better? Maybe, but I am more than happy with this purchase.

This movie was recommended to me a horror fan. I was not disappointed. Nicolas Cage and cast deliver a scary experience when something from outer space lands on their property.

Nicolas Cage always delivers! This is gonna be a future cult movie for sure!

Are you a fan of H.P. Lovecraft? Then you will probably enjoy this movie!

Have not watched it myself yet. But I did read the story by H.P. Lovecraft and enjoyed it. I look forward to gifting this to my friend.

Loved the movie. Good body horror. Neon shines in the movie. Great ensemble cast.

Definitely interesting not sure how i feel about it but worth watching if you can find it cheap

So, why isn't it? Lack of digital copy? No... at the low prices RLJE releases their films at, (the incredible Mandy (also starring Nic Cage going back-to-back in his frantic best since Vampire's Kiss for RLJE,) and Bone Tomahawk being other must-owns from them,) it's become standard for their films to bypass this feature. A true shame, because of how good their films have been. The loss of a star is simpy due to the lack of HDR in a film that demands it- "color" is right in the title. The film itself, the performances, the FX, music... ALL of it is 5 star material, otherwise. For those unfamiliar, COOS is based on an HP Lovecraft story, and he's often been given some great treatments, and COOS may be the best yet. (The story has been given several film treatments, and if you enjoy 80s horror, the film, The Curse, was also based on COOS). A meteor falls in the backyard of Cage and his family's isolated cabin, and a plethora of strangeness begins- from strange smells, the disappearance of the meteorite, voices from their well, mutations to animals, loss of time... from madness to body horror, COOS has everything in place to bring the creepy vibes. The film did more than bring Nic Cage's crazy voice from Vampire's Kiss back, it also brought director Richard Stanley out of a 2 decade long retirement, who has stated this is the first in an HP Lovecraft trilogy, with The Dunwich Horror on deck next. One can hope he handles each of the next films with such care, and if so, HP Lovecraft fans are in for a real treat.

Fantastic movie and great picture and sound. For a 2k upscale this movie definitely delivers, especially at the price on offer.

A very underrated film. If you are a fan of Nicholas Cage or H.P. Lovecraft his is a must see.

Great movie, I enjoyed it. Everyone must see this movie. Give it a shot.

Must be viewed in 4k. Very vibrant picture quality.

Another weird fun flick by the infamous Nickolas Cage

Creepy cool lovecraftian horror. Nic cage at his finest

If you like Lovecraftian horror then you'll love this.

Based on the Lovecraft story of the same name, very creepy, Nick Cage is being classic Nick Cage (including a use of his weird accent from Vampire Smile in certain scenes). Very disturbing with a great mix of CGI and practical effects. Awesome, creative shots and cinematography. Director hasn't worked on a theatrical film since The Island of Dr. Moreau (90s) but he's still got it. Would recommend to fans of cosmic horror.

The movie was horrible but the 4k visuals and sound were stellar. Shakes the house for sure.

I was very satisfied with The Color out of space. The modernization of this HP Lovecraft horror film was well done. Nicolas Cage was absolutely terrific in this film. Although the low budget showed through the film at times overall I enjoyed it. My daughter watched it also with her boyfriend and tells me it gave her nightmares because it was such a strange film. 4K review: The color was bright the images were sharp and the sound quality was excellent. I would recommend this film to horror fans.

Having been a Richard Stanley fan for some time, I was pleasantly surprised and intrigued when I heard he came out of retirement to make this film. I wouldn't say it's as good, or in the same ballpark, as his earlier films like Hardware or Dust Devil, but it was still a fun b-movie. Despite lacking HDR, it still looks great in 4K, and delivers yet another fun over-the-top performance from Nicholas Cage. Worth a look!

Having read the Lovecraft short story, I was expecting that, which takes place in roughly the decades just past the turn of the century (about a 100 years ago). This was in modern times and instead of a 3rd party describing what he found, it's more of a story through the eyes of the participants - without giving too much away. It's good, not great. Definitely still gave off an eerie vibe just like the stories.
