I found the results authentically nightmarish, perhaps especially thanks to the film's unusual rhythm for horror: not a panicky staccato but a fuzzy-edged, narcotic throb.

A trippy and grotesque vision of the real and unreal colliding in the New England wilderness, energized by memorably out-there effects and its reliably rage-y leading man.

Stylised weirdness can only take you so far, though.

Love it or loathe it, Stanley is trying to do something distinctively his own after all those years in the cold. His movie perhaps has the makings of a cult classic.

Based on an HP Lovecraft story, it's a fun, messy, hallucinogenic head trip of a movie, shot with cosmic gorgeousness by cult director Richard Stanley.

It's not as effective as Mandy or The Mist, both of which it evokes at points. But Color Out Of Space is still an audacious and admirably out-there attempt at cosmic horror.

Dec 27, 2020This was an odd duck of a movie. It starts off with a teenage girl in a Wiccan outfit riding back to her house barefoot on horseback. Nicolas Cage plays her whackadoodle father (a new look for him). Finally we have the stoner brother, nagging mom and precocious younger son to round this functional family out. And then an alien meteor hits the front lawn near the drinking well causing the shit to hit the fan, specifically into a color palette that is part Mandy and part Annilhation. And then it all goes completely to hell (in a good way) with a disturbing/gory (ala The Thing) third act. I have to admit this was fun to watch, but if you want to be really creeped out, read the original HP Lovecraft short story.Mark B Super Reviewer

Apr 05, 2020An idiosyncratic horror piece. I'm not entirely sold on some of the weirdness of early scenes, that being said its second half is memorable and effective.Alec B Super Reviewer

Mar 20, 2020Colour Out of Space was one of the biggest joys that 2019 cinema brought me. I was genuinely thrilled by it from about fifteen minutes in right up until the credits rolled. Not to mention for several days afterwards.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Mar 04, 2020Richard Stanley hit the scene with the cult gem Hardware and was primed for big things with The Island of Dr Moreau, but sadly Val Kilmer destroyed that dream. I honestly feel Stanley would've knocked The Island of Dr Moreau out of the park. But, like all gifted filmmakers, they tend to find their feet, and that's the case here. Color Out of Space is an incredibly cerebral experience and right up there with some of my favourite films of the year. Nicolas Cage is quite tame early on, but with all solid Cage performances he gets the opportunity to dial it up to 11. This film is utterly insane and with Stanley now demonstrating his ability for the genre, I only hope he can return much sooner. The film won't appeal to everyone, but if you're a fan of the genre, stop reading this review and track it down. 03/03/2020Brendan N Super Reviewer
