Color Out of Space is auteur director Richard Stanley’s return to filmmaking almost a quarter century after being unjustly fired during the filming of 1996’s The Island of Dr. Moreau and literally running off into the jungle. And we’re lucky to have him back, because Color Out of Space fully rules. Based on the short story “The Colour out of Space” by horror architect H.P. Lovecraft, the film is about a meteor that crashes into the Gardner family farm, emitting an otherworldly light that gradually reveals itself to be a malevolent entity from beyond space and …

The Color Out of Space looks to be an original, mind-bending horror. Here are 5 reasons to be excited about it, and 5 reasons it might not be for you.
With the sci-fi/horror film Color Out of Space opening this weekend in theaters, I recently sat down with Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson and writer-director Richard Stanley to talk about making the adaptation of the classic H.P. Lovecraft short story. During the wide-ranging conversation, they talked about why Lovecraft’s story has resonated for so long with so many people, how the film pushes boundaries of the human imagination, how the film doesn’t dumb itself down for the audience, deleted scenes, and so much more. In addition, Cage shares a great story about Leaving Las …
Color Out Of Space is a surreal adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft story, but it can be easy to misunderstand the text’s heady events and themes.
A delightful and delirious performance from Nicolas Cage anchors the H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Color Out of Space.
Horror author H.P. Lovecraft often wrote about unfathomable, unexplainable creatures who occasionally visited humanity to wrought chaos and discord, so it's fair to see H.P. Lovecraft would've been interested in Nicolas Cage. How blessed we are, at least, to get Cage in the upcoming Lovecraft adaptation The Color Out of Space, directed by Richard Stanley, which just released an incredible new poster. I genuinely love this thing, which comes courtesy of artist Matt Taylor. It looks like what happens when you try to watch The Wicker Man remake on mushrooms. What would hypothetically happen, I mean. …
Hold on to your squamous butts, because the first trailer for Color Out of Space is here and it's packing a nuclear-grade dose of Lovecraftian nightmare fuel. Without a doubt one of the weirdest movies headed to theaters next year, Color Out of Space sees Hardware and Dust Devil director Richard Stanley making his return to filmmaking after his famously horrid experiences on The Island of Doctor Moreau almost put him off it for good. And what a grand return it is. The film stars Nicolas Cage as Nathan Gardner, a man who finds his family, his home, …
You could say that Richard Stanley’s new movie Color out of Space is a mashup of relatively recent horror films like The Thing, The Witch, and Annihilation, but really you just need to look at the film’s source material and those films’ progenitor: the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Based on Lovecraft’s short story “The Colour out of Space”, Stanley’s movie offers its audience no quarter as a family is slowly torn asunder in body and soul by an otherworldly force. For fans of Lovecraft, there’s plenty to like in Stanley’s contemporary adaptation, but …
