Richard Stanely’s adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space centers on a family living on a remote farm surrounded by ancient hardwoods. Their troubles begin when they are awakened by a strange noise and incredible lights of amethyst hues that fill the night sky, then the crash of a meteorite in their yard. The event makes the local news the next day but after a severe lightning storm, it is not long before an unseen alien menace begins to spread slowly in the form of flowers at first, then the farm’s animals begin to mutate and people’s minds are altered.

Instead of seeing the story unfold from the point of view of an outside investigator, we see witness the chaos first hand from the family’s perspective. It was a gamble to alter one of Lovecraft’s most famous stories, but it works out beautifully. The film itself
