Color out of Space is a story of cosmic terror about The Gardners, a family who moves to a remote farmstead in rural New England to escape the hustle of the 21st century. They are busy adapting to their new life 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 with a strange, otherworldly color. To their horror, the Gardner family discover that this alien force is gradually mutating every life form that it touches…including them. (XYZ Films)

Imagine uma versão sombria e atmosférica da Guerra dos Mundos ou de Veio do Outro Mundo no estilo de filmes B, com Nick Cage, engraçadamente enérgico, representando o tipo de rapaz que amamos nas comédias mais excêntricas. Alguém quer isso? No filme combinam-se efeitos viscosos de qualidade com «nebulosas espaciais» baratas, e cenas de horror bastante fortes com aquele Cage cómico. A família está em perigo sério, não se regista praticamente mais nada no filme para além do seu perigo, e o diretor, através de Nick Cage, insinua «simplesmente não levem este filme a sério». Era um pouco problemático para mim, mas gostei do filme e estava curioso para ver como resultaria. [Sitges FF]

O conto com o mesmo nome da lenda do horror H.P. Lovecraft, sobre um meteorito do espaço exterior que começa a refazer o lugar da sua caída na Terra à sua própria imagem, recebeu uma fantástica adaptação cinematográfica moderna, na qual este meteorito púrpura brilhante cai na remota quinta de uma família de cinco pessoas, que são subsequentemente privadas de perceção racional, perdendo gradualmente a cabeça e sendo expostas aos seus piores pesadelos. Nesta visão sem compromissos, brutal, sonhadora, intoxicante, neon-psicadélica e singular, não faltam monstros radioativos, rituais de bruxaria, um poço de assobios, lamas alpaca, um desempenho maravilhosamente histérico de Nicolas Cage e até mesmo uma reflexão sobre a ansiedade da sociedade contemporânea em relação à crise do ambiente. Um filme assustador e intenso com uma cinematografia impressionante, música adequada e uma interpretação original da atmosfera «Lovecraftiana» de profundo desespero, impotência e medo de um mal desconhecido bem construído que é suficientemente concreto e, ao mesmo tempo, totalmente misterioso.

Overall, it’s too entertaining, engaging, interesting and different from what’s usual in the genre to rate it with less than four stars, even if I do have certain reservations that cannot be easily waved off. The first one is the enormous inconsistency in the tone, or rather, its tonal ambiguity. Color Out of Space surprised me a couple times with how horrifyingly brutal it is; some scenes were not very pleasant to watch, which I wasn’t expecting from it. Unfortunately, they are driven by Nicholas Cage playing Nicholas Cage, which isn’t suitable at all for the film’s tone. If the character of the father was a little more moderate, the film would be at least ten percent better. The second problem I have with the film is the behaviour of the characters. This is a bit tricky, because the extraterrestrial colour does have a degenerative effect over the behaviour and the minds of the characters so any lack of logic can be explained just like that. But there are moments where it feels that the heads of the characters are being fucked with not by the colour out of space but by a lazy script (the well!). I also don’t like very much that the entire family is quite weird already before the meteorite falls.

A decent film experiment in the Lovecraftian universe. A family has a meteorite land on their farm, it starts to affect their behaviour and gradually everyone loses their minds. The film is strong in its individual segments, but as a whole it didn't quite satisfy me. I had trouble getting into it and wasn't fully invested, so I didn't really enjoy it much. But the atmosphere is very decent, the practical effects are good, the bit of gore was also pleasing, and surprisingly Nicolas Cage didn't bother either. There’s also one scene that will remind avid fans of The Thing. Definitely the most interesting horror addition for January, but horror veterans (80's 90's) will be more likely to be excited. 6/10.

H.P. Lovecraft fans have been waiting for some relevant big-budget movie adaptation of his works for many years now, so as soon as this project was announced many months ago and was associated with some really big names, I began to have high-hopes for this movie. I must say that Color Out of Space completely fulfilled all of my expectations. Cult director Richard Stanley mines the rich seams of the colorful Lovecraftian universe, which is impressively reminiscent of the 1980s (for example, one scene references John Carpenter's The Thing), with a slow-building dark atmosphere, quality special effects and almost a cosmic poetry that permeates all his movies. Some people may dispute the logic in the behavior of the characters (at times they are strangely calm as they take in the bizarre events going on around them), but otherwise the screenplay delivers many twists and turns for the audiences, and the excessively visually stunning finale is definitely worth waiting for. After watching this picture, I have three wishes: I want to see more adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s works, I want more movies that are made by Richard Stanley, and lastly I want the tireless Nicolas Cage to continue to choose at least one such ambitious project each year. Last year it was the absolutely superb Mandy, this year this - we will wait to see what happens next year. [Sitges 2019]

Richard Stanley is back with his first feature film in over two decades, and what a triumphant return it is. It’s clear that this time around, no one meddled with his vision, and he crafted the movie exactly as he intended. Horror fans and those who’ve been yearning for a proper Lovecraft adaptation will be thrilled. The CGI effects are solid and blend seamlessly with the impressive practical effects, offering some truly satisfying gore. Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed and extremely satisfied with this film.

The American co-production Color Out of Space is as visually stunning as it is disgusting. You do not have to worry about missing out on some human deformities, animal mutants, and pretty explosions of human tissue. This movie has bucketloads of that. All of that is backed up by that gorgeous color from outer space. The movie is not groundbreaking, although it is beautiful to watch.
