Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018 Format: DVD Verified Purchase I'm not sure why some reviewers would in anyway dis this production. It's one of the best made, truest-to-the-story-line of any so far, with the exception of those produced by the Lovecraft Historical Society (). However, the production quality is superior even to those. There is nothing shoddy, B-rate, or second class about this movie. It is in black and white, which is excellently done and the cinematography is beautiful. The acting is more than just adequate (with the exception of the opening scene in America), it is very well carried. All of the characters are believable and natural. There is nothing about this production that feels low-budget. It is thoughtful, careful, and artistically satisfying. The writing, casting, scoring, CG, editing, acting, and pacing are excellent. Knocked it out of the park. Highly recommended for Lovecraft fans and newbies alike. Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017 Format: Prime Video Verified Purchase Lovecraft's stories are hard to translate to film, and this did a much better job than most. While I expected to be put off by the plot changes, once I got into the movie I found myself understanding and agreeing with most of the filmmaker's choices. While the country and time is different, the story is still there. The decision to shoot in black in white was an excellent choice for this film and helped capture much of the mood of the original story. Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2016 Format: DVD Verified Purchase As a huge fan of Lovecraft I've watched a number of movies that have been based on his works and some of them have been quite good, while others are more abominable than the creatures he created. But the one story he wrote that always fascinated me the most was "The Colour Out Of Space". It is a very atmospheric piece that not only keeps you on the edge of your seat, but the finish leaves you shuddering, when you realize the danger is not completely over and that each year it is spreading a little more. Because of the unusual nature of the antagonist, many considered this story to be one that nobody could film and do it justice. But I learned some time ago that a small German independent film company did try and called their version "Die Farbe" (The Color). So finding it here on Amazon got me very excited and I watched it for the first time today and I'm still blown away. I don't always like movies with a lot of subtitles, but this film had some English speakers, as well as some subtitles. But the director did not rely very heavily on dialogue but more "Showing" than "Telling" the story. It's a slow piece, yet it utilizes that pace to build tension and an atmosphere of growing isolation and danger. Some Lovecraft purists have complained that the entire story did not follow the story EXACTLY word for word, but little was left out. The film is to me a masterpiece, shot in Black and White, which also puts some people off. But it is done with a purpose and is used very effectively. There is no gore in this piece, but like Lovecraft's writing, we are given brief glimpses to tell you what's happening and then your own imagination can run wild and scare you even more. This film is brilliant in every respect. My only disappointment was that it was not longer. Still at 1 hour and 20 minutes or so, it tells a great story. I highly recommend it to all Lovecraft fans and even those who are just curious to see why I find this film so fascinating. Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2017 Format: Prime Video Verified Purchase I'm a reader of H. P. Lovecraft; I've read most of his work including this story, one of the most hair raising in my opinion. This adaptation catches all the aspects, and key story events, that I was hoping to see. Only the Rabbit goes unseen.. but judging by the masterful way in which detail and setting have been incorporated into this production, I say in some scene somewhere may be found the ghastly creature:) Will not disappoint. Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2018 Format: Prime Video Verified Purchase Independent films often get laughed at when they try to go too far beyond their capacity. Whether it be leaving heavy dramatic lifting to a rank amatuer, reliance on one good set piece, or being severely short on story. This movie could have easily fallen into one of those traps, and it doesn't - by playing it smart! It realizes that this story (a great starting point! ) was never about people, but the place and our titular color. By letting the scenery and scenario be the focus, it absolves the human cast of having to do too much with too little. Choosing black and white is another way that it embraces its limitations and allows the focus to rest on the clever photogray and juxtoposition of images. It builds its tension trhough these images and sound, and allows the human cast to support them. Whilear from perfect, the movie does cast a wonderfully chilling spell that will give goosebumbs, and couse more than a few gasps. An outstanding independent feature that derses a lot of love! Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019 Format: Prime Video Verified Purchase I really enjoy Lovecraft's novels and short stories, so I susuall y watch anything based on his tales. Unfortunately this was SO SLOW and SO BORING I gave up 1/2 way. I don't even care about the other 1/2, I would of fallen asleep. I am pretty sure all the 5 star reviews are from people that were involved in the movie, because this movie totally blows. I don't even know why I am giving it two stars, it is only worth 1, but since it is H. Lovecraft based I guess I'll be nice. Top international reviews 4. 0 out of 5 stars An effective and atmospheric adaptation Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2018 Format: DVD Verified Purchase As a young man I read quite a number of H. Lovecraft's novels and found them eerie and interesting, even if the writing style was a little dated. Lovecraft dealt in existential horror, the spiritual, moral and physical corruption underlying the seemingly ordinary or the notion that just beyond our cosy illusions of an ordered Cosmos, something incomprehensible and evil lurked, always seeking a way to return. I've also seen a number of film adaptation's and most of them fail simply due to the fact that most of them couldn't rise above the tentacles. This film is a rare exception to this rule. It is eerie and atmospheric and while not perfect, it is an excellent effort. The story is one of a meteorite, containing the eponymous "colour" that first infects a valley with monstrous and inedible growths and then completes it's life cycle before returning to where it came from, having killed everyone and everything that encounters it. I like the arty and understated nature of the film and the fact that it was shot in black and white, with the only colour being that of the unnameable colour of the invader. 5 people found this helpful Sending feedback...

This beautifully styled movie expresses the atmosphere of the story very well despite trasplanting it from the original New England location to forests of Germany. The essential elements of the story are all there although an additional component has been added in the form of an American searching for his missing father, an ex WW2 military medic, who has returned to Germany and disappeared. The original tale was narrated by a young man surveying the proposed location of a new reservoir. Good to see a H P Lovecraft story filmed some subtlety and without the usual overload of "Ghost Train" special effects that so many makers of horror movies seem unable to resist. The black & white visual style is beautiful to look at and even the sound seems to have been styled to give it a strange detached quality. One person found this helpful A good Lovecraft adaptation. Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2019 Format: DVD Verified Purchase A good adaptation of the colour out of space and one of my favoured indie films. I recommend a watch. Amazing adaptation of Lovecraft's short story Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2017 Verified Purchase Amazing adaptation of Lovecraft's short story, I recommend it to all Lovecraft fans. It has a nice retro feeling to it, much like the silent movie adaptation of The Call of Chtulhu. 1. 0 out of 5 stars Mi aspettavo di meglio Reviewed in Italy on November 6, 2013 Format: DVD Verified Purchase Mi aspettavo meglio, molto meglio.

Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2013 Format: DVD Verified Purchase Even though it was likely made on a shoe-string budget, this mostly faithful adaptation of the 'The Colour Out of Space' was atmospheric, well-acted and very well shot. A reason to learn German. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2016 Format: DVD Verified Purchase Nice, but if you don't like Subtitles you'll need to learn German. Fairly close to the short story, give or take.

It was some form of alien vampire I guess, sucking the life out of everything it touched. Good story. Looks like Kevin Bacon from Hollow Man made it out of that Lab ALIVE. Colour out of space story. Looks campy, that might be a good thing. A meteorite strikes earth, carries with it some powerful extraterrestrial influences and transforms its environment in spectacular and terrifying ways. The worst fears and weaknesses of each person it reaches are manifested in ways peculiar to them.

This HP Lovecraft story includes some of the best, well-crafted CGI I have yet seen. Nicolas Cage stars and performs well in his characteristic unhinged way. Color Out of Space includes a faithful portrayal of whippoorwills, which I hear in Ontario on Gillies Lake and so I vouch for the faithfulness of the depiction.

Colour out of space text. Except maybe for From Beyond and Dagon (an older cross between Dagon and The Shadow Over Innsmouth) this was as faithful as I have seen. I HOPE Stanley figures out a way to do The Call Of Cthulhu and The Shadow Over Innsmouth, but this first choice may be his way of doing the lesser known stories.

The color is octarine, of course. People giving 8 9 or even 10 stars to this movie either have money in it or are being payed to make this review to make the movie interesting so you will pay to see it. Mr. cage must really need money to put his name to this project and even worse he is acting so so pore that my kids did better at school play in middle class. The director was fired from a job some year go, now I know why. He should find another occupation. seriously people who rate this high, must just have discovered the phenomenon called movie for the first time. So interesting. If there is one thing I have taken away from Lovecraft, it is to ALWAYS trust your dog's instincts. This meshes well with my real life experience. If my dog doesn't like/trust someone or something, neither do I. I have found in my own personal experience that dogs' senses are quite acute and accurate. I know this is fiction, but the dog thing is for real. If my dog acts weird in a situation, I will trust his instincts.
