If you're a fan of movies like Event Horizon, Prometheus, Mouth of Madness, etc, I think this is definitely a film to check out. Yeah it has Nic Cage but he isn't as insufferable as you'd think.

Check it out. Once it ramps it, it goes quick!

Nic Cage is great when he tries, it's just that he likes collecting paychecks and is indiscriminate about what projects he does.

I thought it wasn't very good, but I know I am in the minority.

I looked up the review I tweeted out about it
Color Out of Space - 4/10. Hey, it's Nic Cage acting manic! Hey, it's Lovecraftian! Hey, there some WTF moments! Hey, it's not very good.
That really doesn't explain much though. I just felt it was more a collection of scenes and moments than a movie that kept my attention the whole time.

I can actually understand that. Instead of happening in 3 solid parts, it kind of feels like it could be set up in at least 5-6 parts and there are a lot of moments that if you kind of miss it you really don't understand what could be going on.

For example, I didn't notice until after the movie but the symbol on the back of the daughter's cloak at the beginning of the movie was the same triangular shape of the window which they kept the mother in at the end of the movie. That, along with the ritual scarring, makes me think she had summoned the color to earth accidentally.

Is it based of a Lovecraft short story?

It is based off of the story, but it takes a lot of liberties in fleshing out the characters, motivations, impacts, etc.

It was at mine but I didn't realize it was a limited release so it was already gone by the time I could see it.

Out of how many Nic Cage movies? The dude can get it done, but more often than not he just Cages up the movie.

He's great in The Rock too.
But he's only great when he bothers to try.

I rented it off Google Play, but it is available on Amazon as well. For only 4.99, it was worth every penny.
