positive · AI labelView post →#NW Color Out of Space (2019) Dir. Richard Stanley It's not the first film we've seen with mysterious space rocks causing trouble. But this time, they're here to turn Nic Cage's farm - and family - into a florescent Lovecraftian nightmare. #EveryNightIsMovieNight

neutral · AI labelView post →Despite being an FNaF knockoff, “Willy’s Wonderland” is, no bullshit, one of the most enjoyable horror movies I’ve seen in years. It’s a weird, very well done Nic Cage movie that seems to live in the shadow of “Mandy” along with “The Color Out of Space.”

negative · AI labelView post →68. The Color Out of Space (2019). This movie, a rare decent adaptation of a Lovecraft story, features an unfathomable extraterrestrial presence arriving at an unsuspecting farm. Another chance for Nic Cage to ham it up!
positive · AI labelView post →Watching the Nic Cage The Color Out of Space movie and it starts a bit slow but goes to some grotesquely amusing places.

neutral · AI labelView post →The 14yo said they didn't understand how someone made a movie of Color Out of Space when the whole point was that the color couldn't be processed by the human mind and I immediately thought of this post. (Fun flick too. Like a B-movie Annihilation)

neutral · AI labelView post →Color Out of Space (2019, Richard Stanley) - I cannot explain how devastating a movie this is, especially when you learn that it stars Nicolas Cage and Tommy Chong and the villain is the color magenta. This movie deserves From Beyond status.
positive · AI labelView post →Color Out of Space is still such a wild film
positive · AI labelView post →Also, The Color Out of Space was really cool. Lovecraft adaptations are usually hard to make work on film, and they did a great job with it
positive · AI labelView post →On a related note, the Warhammer Film Club's halloween special last year tackled Color Out of Space and I was asked for my favourite Lovecraft adaptation. I realised I hadn't seen many so I am trying to correct that! youtu.be/5rvop-Oatlo
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you like horror? Do you like cosmic horror? Would you like to see a deeply unsettling film, in which classic theatricality actually enhances the experience? Then may I recommend Color Out of Space.
positive · AI labelView post →#FantasyIndiesApril Day 14: I actually have an entire Spotify playlist dedicated to my WIP! It's a mix of the JOHN WICK, CHERNOBYL, and SICARIO soundtracks with a dash of COLOR OUT OF SPACE (yes, the movie with Nic Cage). #WritingCommunity

positive · AI labelView post →still flying watched Color Out Of Space with nic cage, tommy chong and company fkn stellar cosmic stuff, I really enjoyed it
positive · AI labelView post →#Filmsky Color Out of Space (2019) The detonation of a nuclear family. Effective use of eerie visuals and sounds builds a unique atmosphere of dread, with some genuinely horrifying and striking payoffs. Cage's wildly inconsistent choices are a huge distraction. letterboxd.com/noelct/film/...

neutral · AI labelView post →Color Out of Space is great cosmic horror but not a very good movie (it's not horrible)... Cage shouldve played the hermit, Ezra... someone less Nick shouldve played the father.

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched the Nick Cage film THE COLOR OUT OF SPACE and while it’s not a particularly good film it’s actually pretty true ot the heart of the source material. I think they sacrificed the slow-burn and subtle horror of the original story in favor of “It’s a movie spectacle…

I recommend watching the wonderful 2019 film Color Out Of Space directed by Richard Stanley and starring Nic Cage, Joely Richardson, Madeleine Arthur, and Julian Hilliard You could also see 1984 Night Of The Comet or 1962 The Day Of The Triffids

neutral · AI labelView post →I really liked Stanley's other feature films HARDWARE and THE COLOR OUT OF SPACE. Loved LOST SOUL but I still haven't taken the time to watch the actual ISLAND film. The other doc featuring Stanley, SHADOWLAND (2024), is equally fascinating and very well done but grim as hell.

neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching Color Out of Space (2019). I’ve been saving this one, because not only does it star Nic Cage - who I adore - but it’s Richard Stanley’s first film since directing The Island of Dr Moreau (1996), a very strange film that has a special place in my heart because I loved it way back when.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight we watched The Color Out of Space with Nic Cage and woof was that movie roooough. The writing was mostly fine, the actors were clearly giving it their all, but the direction might as well have been a bag of rats. Do not recommend. #cagemas
negative · AI labelView post →So. I know this isn't the thrust of an article, but an ENTIRE article on "cosmic horror in manga" that doesn't even mention Gou Tanabe once? With as much of a deep dive given to the Color Out of Space film, you'd think they would at least note the Colour Out of Space manga...

neutral · AI labelView post →What do people think of the Nic Cage Color Out of Space film? Watched it recently. Major reviews were apparently very positive but it really seemed to miss out on the strengths of the story. Hardly unusual for a Lovecraft adaptation, I know.
negative · AI labelView post →The Color Out of Space. That movie was intense.
positive · AI labelView post →My book WereCage, about Nic Cage biting a guy who then turns into Nic Cage, was also written without AI because fuck yeah. Go watch a Nic Cage movie. I recommend Color Out of Space and Mandy. Ya know, for the season.

neutral · AI labelView post →Silly question for the art and comics folks: If you had to illustrate Lovecraft's "The Color Out Of Space"... how would you portray the actual "color out of space?" Dark purples with weird glow effects, like in the film? Sickly cosmic bruise colors? Black spot gloss? (That's my favorite.)
