Color Out of Space
It will consume you.
Directed by Richard Stanley
Produced by SpectreVision, BRO Cinema
A Lovecraftian cosmic horror that uses vivid, otherworldly visuals and family isolation to explore the terror of incomprehensible alien contamination and inevitable transformation.
The Gardner family moves to a remote farmstead in rural New England to escape the hustle of the 21st century. They are busy adapting to their new life when a meteorite crashes into their front yard, melts into the earth, and infects both the land and the properties of space-time with a strange, otherworldly colour. To their horror, the family discovers this alien force is gradually mutating every life form that it touches—including them.
