Critics Consensus

A welcome return for director Richard Stanley, Color Out of Space mixes tart B-movie pulp with visually alluring Lovecraftian horror and a dash of gonzo Nicolas Cage.

Incredible movie, some of the acting isn't 100% perfect but the visuals, story and atmosphere are just fantastic.

HP Lovecraft and Nicolas Cage are a great combination!

It was remarkably consistent with the story in the book (compared with many others from H.P. Lovecraft adaptations to the screen). The visuals and sounds were wonderful at presenting an ominous environment without too much "showing the monster" as so many modern horror films do. See it while you can!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Rarely do I say a movie stinks, but what the heck? Fandango, can I get my money back? Arclight, what are you thinking wasting a screen on this crap? I should have been clued in as soon as I realized nick cage was in this. Moviegoers, you cant get your two hours back, don’t waste your time.

Being a huge fan of the film Mandy and an even bigger fan of Lovecraft, and good horror in general, I couldn't wait to see what this severely underrated director (Hardware) could do with the material. Having Nicholas Cage was the icing on the cake. What wonders this actor is capable of when allowed some freedom. Such a haunting film in the way it portrays the Color Out of Space. The superb cinematography, directing, acting and visuals will all haunt you ling after the credits roll. And quite possibly one of the greatest horror soundtracks of all tine.

Fantastic, though expected it to be a little edgier. Still, great fun.

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

I found the results authentically nightmarish, perhaps especially thanks to the film's unusual rhythm for horror: not a panicky staccato but a fuzzy-edged, narcotic throb.

Rated: 4/5

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

A trippy and grotesque vision of the real and unreal colliding in the New England wilderness, energized by memorably out-there effects and its reliably rage-y leading man.

Stylised weirdness can only take you so far, though.

Some will revel in the mystery and symbolism of the visuals, others will just watch, jaws agape, at how bonkers everything is.
