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

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.

Nic Cage is VERY hit or miss for me, but this is THE PERFECT role for him. The movie is very moody and original and weird. It won’t be for everyone, but if you like Lovecraft, you’ll probably find this to be the most entertaining Lovecraft adaptation outside of Stewart Gordon.

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!

Nic cage is at his best when he is allowed to go off the rails and it flows with the film, and believe me it really flows in this epic and strange gem.

It was a good movie for a sci-fi scary movie. when something comes from out of space things go wrong.

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.

Liked this rendition of H.P. Lovecraft's story. Creepy and imaginative. Good visual effects. Well done.

This movie reminded me of the TV show Stranger Things ,but not that close to good like the tv show. Hollywood does this sometimes meaning they copy an idea and then spin it into something else. This was based on a story story. When Hollywood takes a short story and try's to expense it, it gets tricky and risky. Not a bad movie but you may have to watch it a couple of times. The 4K is great and well as the Atmo's track
