Color Out of Space [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2019]

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

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 starts out Erie and compelling. The acting is good, the production is good. Pretty quickly around the half way point things start getting weird and only get crazier. It’s a wild ride from start to finish and I absolutely enjoyed it. You do need the right expectation going into this movie, it’s def not for everyone, it’s a weird horror movie at its core but it’s very well done for what it is.

I'm a big Lovecraft fan so I was really surprised by this but I'm kind og here/ there on Nick cage, but he did really well here and hes not too weird. This 4k disc does not feature HDR but still looks really good.

I love this movie by Richard Stanley off the work H.P. Lovecraft. Unfortunately, no dolby vision was included on this release and its pretty barebones. The price was right under $10.00 and am glad i have it in the collection.

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.

Excellent adaptation of Lovecraft’s short story. Highly recommend.

It's a crazy movie. Not what I thought it would be from the trailer. It's about an alien form that comes down in their yard and creates a lot of scifi kaos.
