The Color out of Space (8/10)

"The Color out of Space" is a cosmic horror film released in 2019 that tells the same tale as the H. P. Lovecraft story of the same name. It stars Nic Cage, which is one of the best parts, and overall is a fantastic film for being a smaller indie film that was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival. The acting and casting is great and Nic Cage especially shines in weird niche films like he always has. I -LOVE- that the titular "Color" out of Space is a vibrant magenta. I -LOVE- the thought of Lovecraft's eldritch impossibilities being represented in a garish pink. That's just so wonderful to me. I know eerie green and ominous red are used much more often so this pink is particularly genius in my opinion and stands out among all the surreal imagery. The soundtrack is also fantastic and it's obvious that a lot of love and care went into this film, which really warms my heart. I'm a fan of Lovecraft'...
