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

Movie: Fun, creepy, unsettling movie. Very good Lovecraft adaptation (The Colour Out of Space) with solid performances and some well executed body horror. UHD Blu-ray: Excellent 4K quality, the colors popped and the images were super sharp on my 65" LG 4K OLED screen. One scene of a character moving a flashlight around at night was the best use of my OLED screen I've seen yet. Overall a solid addition to any Lovecraft or eery-suspense fan's 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.

Color out of space is a mind twisting good time. It is thought provoking and keeps you on your toes. The graphics on the 4k are really good.

Quality of picture on this movie looks amazing! Happy with my purchase

Kind of a weird story, but worth watching once. This kind of story is probably typical of Lovecraft stuff. The movie has some gross parts to watch out for. I wish it came with a digital copy too.

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!

This was a pretty good movie. I am a big Nicolas Cage fan but the other actors were top-notch. Plus the computer graphics allowed a more accurate rendition of the story.

A great scifi movieperformed by a great actor Nicolas Cage.
