The Color Out Of Space (HP Lovecraft movie adaption)
    #26479324 - 02/10/20 09:36 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Just realized this movie came out already, been really excited to check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Out_of_Space_(film)

And it looks like it has great reviews so far, can't wait to watch.

Used to not be the biggest Nicholas Cage fan, but after watching him in Mandy he seemed like a perfect pick for a Lovecraft movie.

Anyways just wanted to share. There's a Dreamcycle movie coming out soon as well, from an indie European group. It also looks very promising:


The Dreamlands - Trailer #1


--------------------
Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I thought this was going to be about that european adaptation that came out a while back, the one mainly in black and white. That adaptation was alright, but it's hard to adapt HP lovecraft stuff because a lot of the stuff he describes is borderline impossible to show. Like, say you wanted to adapt cthulu, how would you show the unusual angle of the side of a staircase swallowing a person? That's like some M.C. Escher shit. But still, good to see these adaptations being attempted at all.

There is also a really weird black and white silent film Cthulhu adaption that does a pretty good job: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Call_of_Cthulhu_(film)

It's from 2005 but uses very classic styles to try and capture the feel of the book. Been years since I watched it though.


Trailer - The call of Cthulhu movie

One thing that surprised me about the 2019 Color Out Of Space is Chong is in it :lol: Only 30 minutes in but it seems great so far, will have to find a better quality stream eventually as the visuals are very trippy.

There have been some surprisingly good Lovecraft adaptions though many of the best are indie films. Dagon is a pretty good one.

Just finished The Color Out Of Space a bit ago, was definitely a mind fuck. Haven't read the story in years so hard to say how well it adapts it but IMO they got the lovecraft vibes perfectly.

Couldn't find the best quality stream to watch but it still looked amazing, can't wait to watch it again in HD eventually. Very psychedelic at times, also very suspenseful and creepy.

Definitely lived up to my excitement, I'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10.

I fucking loved it.  Best movie I've seen in a while.  I also really liked how he channeled his "Vampire's Kiss" character a few times.  That made me laugh so hard.

I loved it too. Scared the kids and missus, they went to bed and left me to it.  :lol:

I didn't much care for it. Production value was good, the acting was good, but at the end of the day it just wasn't for me. I loved Mandy though, and in some ways these stories are similar. I can't really say why Color Out of Space didn't resonate for me, it should be a movie I'd like.

Enjoy the process of your search without succumbing to the pressure of the result.

Mandy was a lot more action oriented, less suspense at least in the second half. Mandy also had a pretty unique horror style, while Color Out Of Space was a bit more typical suspense wise. Though I loved the unique supernatural/sci fi elements.

I have a feeling both will grow on me as I re watch them. Still hope for a Mandy sequel one day.

He was definitely channeling his Mandy character as well, especially when everything starts going crazy.

I just tried googling it and putlocker and found a link. It came out fairly recently so it still seems a bit hard to find in HD, you might have better luck on some torrent sites though :shrug:

:cheers:

Still hoping for a Mountains Of Madness sequel to this indie film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Lovecraft:_Relic_of_Cthulhu

It ends with a Mountains Of Madness teaser, but last I heard they had trouble getting the rights or budget to make it :sad: Looks like they might be trying to fundraise for it though: https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1280984048/the-last-lovecraft-at-the-mountains-of-madness/

Though that fundraiser only got 3k out of 300k :sad: It was almost a year ago though, so hopefully they will try again. I really enjoyed the first movie though it's more of a horror comedy based on the Lovecraft mythos rather then a direct adaption of any story.

Guillermo del toro was making it but he cancelled it when he saw prometheus.  He said they were the same story so no mountains.
