Review
"The joy of Color Out of Space is that its madness never comes at the expense of its internal logic. Lovecraft’s cosmic insanity and Stanley’s genre sensibilities prove to be perfect bedfellows as the filmmaker elegantly stacks chaos on top of chaos, delivering grotesque shocks aplenty, riding in step with the big ideas communicated via the sci-fi elements and the boldly ambiguous conclusion. Color Out of Space is one of the most interesting additions to the horror canon in years, with Stanley flexing his genre muscles to produce something that is never anything other than distinct and idiosyncratic." - Tom Beasley, Flickering Myth
