Acerca deste filme

A cosmic nightmare from the minds of H.P. Lovecraft (Re-Animator) and cult director, Richard Stanley (Hardware), Color Out Of Space follows Nathan Gardner (Nicolas Cage, Mandy), Theresa Gardner (Joely Richardson, The Patriot) and their three children, whose recent retreat to rural life quickly crumbles when a meteorite crashes into their front yard. The mysterious aerolite seems to melt into the earth, infecting both the land and the properties of space-time. Mutant forms of technicolor flora start sprouting, while local animals begin to display bizarre deformities. Soon, the Gardners realize that they too are susceptible to the extraterrestrial pathogen, and must escape the contagious cloud that has consumed their farm. With the help of a friendly hydrologist (Elliot Knight) and eccentric neighbour (Tommy Chong), the family attempts to battle a nebulous entity that they can barely begin to understand. What chance can a few humans have against a force capable of traversing the gulf between worlds, a nightmarish being that exists beyond the limits of the human spectrum?

This was a good movie. I enjoyed watching it. I didn't think Nicholas Cage was outstanding in this film which is not his usual but ya know. All the rest of the cast did a good job bringing this story to life. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a little more critters etc as this would have kept the attention. There were a few plot holes which I won't mention here due to spoilers. I feel if there were a bit more time this whole story could have been explored a little more. This is meant to be Lovecraft, creepy, dystopian, otherworldly, 4th Dimensional - it's good and I think these guys did a good job and look forward to another Lovecraftian Movie.

It's like a John Carpenter film, but it's the return of Richard Stanley, of course! So while there's lots of Lovecraft bonuses for the "fanatics", who are now acknowledged to walk among us, there's also an all too obvious reference to the recent "reawakening" push that so devastated the White House. We already spent basically the entire human race finding intelligent life in the universe. So now, with the Old Ones' return imminent, some one better hurry up and teach us all to shamble!!!

Quite possibly the worst film I've seen in a decade. Sad excuse for a cosmic horror, Lovecraft would be embarrassed.
