The life of a family living on an isolated farm is going through apocalyptic changes after the landing of an intriguing meteorite.
A non-traditional Sci-Fi film, with common elements to another classic like The Thing, Color Out Of Space is based on a story by H.P. Lovecraft. It uses very rich and impressive visual effects that deepen the artistic effect on the viewer, with an interesting symbolism associated with the predominant color, namely magenta, obtained from red and blue in certain circumstances, two colors that are generally associated with good and evil, magenta suggesting in this case the lack of such driving motives, these being concepts that are completely foreign to the extraterrestrial force in the film. Lacking logic at times, the film is still impressive, the acting is top notch (Nicolas Cage is reminiscent of his role in Vampire's Kiss) and is very enjoyable to watch.
