Color Out of Space [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2020]

A definite weird time with Nicolas Cage and his movie family. What more can a guy ask for?

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.

I wasn't sure what to think of this movie when it first came out, but my growing appreciation of late-career Cage (Mandy, Willy's Wonderland, Pig) led me to pick up this movie based on the HP Lovecraft novel of the same name... and boy, am I glad I did. This is an engrossing, startling, and at times truly shocking tale of a family torn asunder by the unknown. A must for fans of Lovecraft, or just creepy psychological body-horror and The Unlocked Cage himself.

great movie awesome in 4k would buy again and watch

Another Nicole’s cage can’t go wrong wit this actor

Strange take on the genre but in a good twisted way.

A creepy and vibrant film that will keep you entertained.

Nick cage does it again. A movie a few words but beautiful visuals a beautiful adaptation of a love Lovecraft classic
