A synaesthetic horror movie unlike any other you've seen, Color Out of Space scores one for team "style over substance". Taking the aliens via meteorite route and aiming to put you off Alpacas forever, this lovecraftian tale is a real surprise 7/10#coloroutofspace pic.twitter.com/d1pIrwzEeN

One fan says,

” An unmissable horror film black comedy that’s one of the very best H.P. Lovecraft adaptations ever made. This is true for every film, but on every rewarding rewatching, there are still more subtleties that Writer and Director Richard Stanley has intricately woven into his film. Nicolas Cage clearly loved the chance to participate, giving a fresh performance that feels complex and naturalistic.”

Color Out Of Space stars Nicolas Cage as Nathan, Joely Richardson as Theresa, Madeleine Arthur as Lavinia, Brendan Meyer as Benny, Julian Hilliard as Jack, Elliot Knight as Ward, Q’orianka Kilcher as Mayor Tooma, Tommy Chong as Ezra and Josh C. Waller as Sheriff Pierce. Daniel Noah, Josh C. Waller, Elijah Woods, and Lisa Whalen play the role of producers.
