Color Out of Space

2019, dir Richard Stanley w/Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson, Madeleine Arthur, Elliot Knight, Brendan Meyer, Julian Hilliard, Tommy Chong, 111 min, DCP

Like it emerged from the fevered dreaming of a cult film fanatic, we can barely imagine a more exciting team than legendary cult director Richard Stanley (Hardware), renowned portrayer of the unhinged Nicolas Cage, and revered weird-fiction author H.P. Lovecraft. In this psychedelic interpretation of Lovecraft’s COLOR OUT OF SPACE, Cage plays the head of a family trying to find a new life away from the pressures of the big city. He has moved them all to rural New England and taken up (of all things) alpaca farming. When a mysterious meteorite crashes into their front lawn however, things get epically, frighteningly bizarre and dangerous.
