Nick Cage is the only actor in history to go from obscure roles in teen films, to A-lister, then to straight to DVD and then to obscure critically acclaimed independent Cinephilia, I've got to admit he's one of a kind and one of the best!
This really was the best story for him. All the role really needs is for him to be terrified in the context of having no idea what's going on in a situation that just gets worse. Lot of room for him to just play.
Could not agree more! Though he disappeared and then come back with this great one after 15+ years. Whatever he does next I will be first on the line to see it.
This is a story that should only have been filmed in black and white since the color of the title is one that literally does not exist in the visible spectrum.
It's a bit funny, because technically pink is debated as to actually exist in the colorful spectrum as our brain sees the information from the eyes that are constantly bathed in blood, so they reach the eye red,and the brain color corrects it. Also, same deal with Cuthulu, not the name but no human can mutter it and gets close
I thought that indie German film with the same name did a great job of that. Too bad the actors' line deliveries were so often bad. The cinematography was great, though, during the reveal.
I swear every lovecraft horror movie with a color, we should spread this phrase to. It would be a gathering of Cultured Swine. Er, fish men. Er, non-white or afflicted people lovecraft fears.
I was positively surprised by this movie. I didn't expect it to be THAT good. And Nicolas Cage is way better at acting when he's not making movies solely to pay debts
Anyone who thinks this was a bad movie hasn't seen many Lovecraft movies, because as far as Lovecraft flicks go, this is probably as good as it gets. Grading on a curve, this thing gets A+++
@@elliothellyer933 about on par with a Lovecraft-themed movie. The threat is largely unexplained and most of the madness comes from Cage forgetting to take his meds again. Honestly, I was impressed they took the whole "no happy endings" approach of Lovecraftian fiction and mixed in a little body horror.
@@glasswalkereye i wonder, with special effect the production could have still make something strange like omething movy or else, but just the horific purple seems mhe ^^
@@glasswalkereye actually it is Impossible because Color is just our brain's interpretation. Its in our head. My purple can be very different from your purple, and we will never know it. There is only a limited spectrum of colors we can see
Kyzen Del Aguia - Your absolutely right. Capturing something that is neither tangible nor completely metaphysical is certainly a cinematic challenge. It would just be awesome to see more of his work at least loosely translated to the big screen.
@@hellokitty500million Annihilation isn't really cosmic horror, just sci-fi horror (it's easy to visualize and you understand what the thing is at the end of the movie). The color out of space story is what I would consider true cosmic horror bc u don't know what it is, like HP Lovecraft writes exactly what the color is but the color isn't just a pink light. The color is just color, but color is seen by light but it's not light it's color. The color has a light but the light is not the color and if it's color then it has no physical form but it kills in painful ways but it's not light (see it can't be explained)
The original book its based on the concept that there are wavelenghts that we can't see, aka. Infra-red, microwave, gamma ray, ultra-violet, x-ray, tv/radio signal. Lovecraft thought that those colors were visible but just not present on earth, which is why the meteor glows with "mYsTeRiuS CoLoRs UnLikE aNy SeEn oN EaRtH". The film uses magenta cause its a color our brain make up when it sees the 2 oposite ends of color expectrum (red and violet) being reflected at the same time, since "the avarage would be green but green has a specific wavelenght so this is for sure not green". We do that with a lot of colors too. So it can be said that "our brain make up magenta cause it can't understand what the actual color would be" which is very lovecraftin if you think about it. So H. P. Lovecraft didn't say it was magenta cause he had a very wrong understanding of science, but magent fits nicely om the idea. Its also possible that the meteor isn't magenta but a color that can't be undertood by humans so we see magenta.
Interesting. But it also shows the advantage written stories have. You can make stuff up and arrange ideas in any possible way, leaving the brain engaged trying to figuring something out that is impossible to figure out. Like a colour that we can't see. But in a movie you literally watch and there is no colour that we can't see so we have to use one that we can see... Thanks for pointing out why they choose magenta, that makes sense...
@@sonkeschmidt2027 its also important to remember they say its like Pink but not pink, its a MiStErIuS cOlOr UnLiKe AnY SeEn oN eArTh. Btw if you don't know this phrase comes from a funny video on lovecraft giving a sumuarry on some of his stories, check out its by overly sarcastic productions and its great
A color that " literally does not exist in the visible spectrum." could still leave an impression on camera sensors (they can get infrared and other non-visible ranges), and even have side-effects into the visible spectrum, so there's that...
There is a monochrome film. It's a German independent film from 2010 (original title: die Farbe) . I haven't seen it though, it's supposed to be good, but hard to get a copy of.
I don't know why but your comment made me think of what it would be like for a blind person to take LSD or mushrooms. I always wondered if could make them see a colors in their own way?
Let me add some context for you all: They made a movie about Magenta.... Magenta isn’t a real color, it’s just what your eye sees because it can’t comprehend what the real color is... Magenta is the evidence that the brain takes option b - it has apparently constructed a color to bridge the gap between red and violet, because such a color does not exist in the light spectrum. Magenta has no wavelength attributed to it, unlike all the other spectrum colors.
@@arthurabogado5054 it was a short story. You can read it in an hour or so. The point he's making is that the film director chose the color magenta for the film's creature, which is basically a formless entity, because magenta isn't a real color that we can see without our brain to fill in all of the missing data. Crazy stuff, right??
@@williamwaddell482 I know about the story. That is why I know about the movie. What I understand is they made the movie based on the book and they made magenta as the color in question. They did not make a movie about magenta.
Were you on mushrooms too when you watched it? You stole the words right out of my mouth. I’m gonna watch it again sober to see if it has the same effect on me.
I already wrote a literal essay in reply to another person complaining it changed things from the original story (as it should have with this story to film) but I'll say this: it's the first time I've ever seen a truly faithful rendition of a cosmic horror story, and because of the depressing news how we can't have nice things, am going to ask why we don't just start a gofundme for this director?
This could be good but here's the issue: The Colour Out of Space is probably the lovecraft story that most exemplifies his idea of cosmic horror. Because the colour is not evil, its not a demon, may not even be sapient, its just a completely alien form of life. All the terror and damage it causes is either it just trying to escape back into space or maybe even just its natural life cycle, like a plant growing and then spreading its seeds. The people around it are all effected by these events but only because they just happen to be in the way; its not an attack aimed at them. And thats the important part of a Cosmic Horror story: The horror is the insignificance of mankind beneath the crushing vastness of the universe and the uncaring, unnoticing beings out there. It is to be an ant walking on a busy sidewalk, at any moment your life instantly destroyed by beings beyond your comprehension and ignorant to your existence. Its a horror born of the time Lovecraft lived, as science began to show how the universe didn't revolve around humans and was unfathomably vast. You walk a very fine line when portraying this kind of horror and things like "He's talking to me" worry me greatly. This isn't poltergeist. It doesn't hate you. Thats the scary part: Its killing you and destroying everything and it doesn't even notice you're there.
@Limitations Limitless Allow me to quote "Sentience means the ability to feel things, the ability to perceive things. Any living thing that has some degree of consciousness is sentient, including insects, lizards, dogs, dolphins and human beings. The word sentience is derived from the Latin word sentientem, which means feeling. The adjective form is sentient. The word sentience is often misused to mean a creature that thinks. Sapience means the ability to think, the capacity for intelligence, the ability to acquire wisdom. The scientific name for modern man is Homo sapiens. Sapience only describes a living thing that is able to think. The word sapience is derived from the Latin word sapientia, which means intelligence or discernment. The adjective form is sapient. Note that sentience is often misused in place of the word sapience." So yes, you're definitely sentient. But all things considered, I'm not sure you're sapient.
It’s also an example of the fact that Lovecraft truly feared the unknown. Be it unfathomable beings from outer space or other cultures and skin colors.
I have no idea why Hollywood has waited this long to put Nicolas Cage in a Lovecraft movie, but it just... WORKS. Cage is perfect for this kind of project, as he's just as weird as Lovecraft is. I can't wait for this.
Yeah, if ever there's an actor who sells the "my sanity meter is running low" method, it's Cage.

I don’t see this doing well. They had to screw the story by making it look cartoonish rather then creepy. And plainly sad seeing his family slowly waste away. It’s got tommy Chong in it ffs. Also the “lets get away from it all” shit is so cliche. Why not make them the rural people they are in the story?
@ It would seem to me that it's due to the people making the movie wanting the Cast to have that "not sure if this is normal" thought process, as well as having them be juxtaposed to their rural neighbors. Not to mention the fact that they wouldn't now know anyone in the area (as well as they did in the story), so they would be less likely to be able to know who to look for to find any meaningful help. I don't agree with the change, but we should reserve final judgement on it until it comes out. Lovecraft stories are always going to be better than their movie counterparts, so long as you have a vivid imagination.
“Mandy”, “Dog Eat Dog”, “The Trust”. I keep running into Cage in all these little movies I’d never even heard of that are pretty cool. I guess if he wasn’t a madman and hadn’t squandered all his money on dinosaur skulls we wouldn’t see him in all these little gems. He just can’t stop making movies. And I say: Carry on, you freaky genius.
This was one of the best HP Lovecraft adaptions, next to the ones made by the HPLHS, ever. It’s absolutely gonzo and I loved every minute of it. Sure, the characters are quite different than the story, but it totally works. Richard Stanley is an odd cat, I won’t pretend otherwise, but to leave the movie industry for twenty years and come back with this as his first film in decades? That’s a feat that few will ever equal in filmmaking. Give this movie a try. Trust your ol’ pal Rondy, that really handsome stud with the weird name...and goofy face. I’ll not lead you astray.
I'm not even kidding, I want people to start a gofundme for him. We can do crowdsourcing and kickstartering for videogames, why can't we do it for movies? Like this guy, I'm sorry but I truly don't give a shit if he hit his wife, and no I don't give a shit if she hit him back, or what they were arguing about. This is true art, a masterpiece fully encapsulating its genre in the best ways possible (minus the utterly bizarre and bad choice to cast Nick Cage and Tommy Chong in it, which Chong at least pulled off with his character while Cage was distractingly farcical) and if he's getting the boot because of some dumb allegation because Hollywood is touchy about how many rapists it's harboring so it doesn't want to chance it by allowing this outsider with his marriage drama to making films well I don't care. I want to see the Dunwich Horror made by the singular only person I've seen make any film that's remotely adequate as a cinematographic adaptation of cosmic horror, and well, if I have to personally make a donation to some kickstarter fund for a guy with a bad marriage, or possible abuser, well I'll have to do that.
@@rondyreeves4772 omg you're still here 🤣 it's a decent movie, too bad they're all die except the hydrology guy (?). The thing is I expect some kind of thriller like Annihilation but I don't really get that in this movie, maybe because the scale of the "alien invasion" is more small. Anyways I think it's good, not Interstellar good but I think I don't want to punch you 🤞
Awhile back I had a near death experience, I remember being in a field with plants I’ve never seen before, they had colors I can never explain, they were very beautiful
This is the funnier part of that video in my opinion but everyone seems to have enjoyed that other joke more. By the way I think she says "You mean there exist* colours that..."
Book: An unfathomable color no one has ever laid eyes on. The sheer idea of attempting to grasp how such a thing could exist within our visible spectrum is enough to drive people to madness. Movie: it purple :^3
A color that " literally does not exist in the visible spectrum." could still leave an impression on camera sensors (they can get infrared and other non-visible ranges), and even have side-effects into the visible spectrum, so there's that...
As a colossal fan of Lovecraft, I think I might cry. Yes, there has been movies that dives into his work before, but to have a big production like this, is exciting. And that it’s the first one in a trilogy, is wonderful. Please do Lovecraft justice.
color is one of, if not my favorite LC story, it was also, coincidently or not, my first time reading him. its the best one off tale to show people what lovecraft is. a true horror that is beyond human understanding. i have yet to watch it, but all i want to know is how will it end, since, the ending is also one of the things that made it as good as it is.
@@daisychainsaw I saw the trailer and was totally unamused but I watched the movie today and it is very good, for an indie movie and compared to the crap in the horror genre, it's a really good 80s feeling horror movie
I just finished the movie, it's amazing. As a fan of Lovecraft since I was 14, this is about as close to a perfect adaptation of one of his works out there. While it's set in the present day the story still stays faithful to the original, and incorporates modern elements like TVs and smartphones pretty smoothly. It's obvious the people behind it genuinely love Lovecraft's stories and his themes of cosmic horror in general. Solid film, 7.5 or 8/10 for me.
Lol…so wait it’s an “amazing” film and “about as close to a perfect adaptation” yet you still gave it a 7.5/8? You gave it a B. Makes zero sense based on your high marks
"Amazing" and "close to perfect ADAPTATION". He was pretty clear. If he'd called it 100% perfect in every way, then he should've given it a 10/10. But, he's not a complete moron, so he understands that there's literally no such thing as the "perfect" movie. Hope that clears things up for you a bit
Supposedly the main guy behind getting this done is wanting to make a trilogy of H.P Lovecraft movies, this being the first. Can't wait to see more, this was executed so well.
@John Michael New England/Upstate New York is a terrible place blighted by nuclear fallout and fentanyl, the woods hold a special sort of evil here, and all that dwell here knows it a place of terrible witchery, and alcoholics decaying to nothingness to drown out the terrible noise of the evils and crimes soaking its soil here you think I'm joking and I'm not stay out
Someone who comments on youtube videos, but doood, black and white has been done already. They are trying something new, and besides, the color isn’t the spooky part of the story it’s the effect it has on it’s surroundings.
@@spormlastname267 No... The colour part is part of the spookiness. It's a whole thing, it's supposed to be otherworldly, a Sin City style black, white and greys with colour only used in certain sections could've been really useful here. Seriously, go back and read the original short story, Lovecraft makes a big deal of the colour being "UNLIKE ANY SEEN ON EARTH!" It's a major component of the story, coupled with the whole feeding people to the well thing. I mean, seriously, I'm not expecting people to make it out alive of this one.
@@neomis6899 yeah nah the Color Out of Space is one of my favorite stories by Lovecraft and I honestly think this is doing a great job at depicting it. How much pinks and blues do you ACTUALLY see in nature? not a lot. The way Lovecraft describes the color it's more like a prismatic (here meaning multicolored, refracting) miasma, a sort of tinted haze that stains the land. I think Black and White would have been detrimental. But what I AM seeing in this trailer is they're using relatively desaturated colors in the "normal" parts, and hyper-vibrant purples, pinks, and blues for the Color. THAT's a way a better depiction, imho.
@@jw7196 how about joaquin phoenix and ed harris? i too think nichloas cage is one of the greatest actors of all time, "bringing out the dead" and "kick-ass" are unmatched!
I want that too, but I also want to know what the guy saw when it looked back! I know it would ruin the movie because nothing could truly be that frightening and the mystery is part of what makes the story good. I just want to know if it is truly what I imagine, which is a massive Lovecraftian beast rising out of the mountain.
@@DdraigGoch84 I guess, he would make himself the hero. If I remember the story correctly, the characters are basically tortured or more a horror movie
@@goncaloferreira6429 Spectrevision, the producers of Color out of Space, is hoping to make The Dunwich Horror and two more Lovecraft adaptions if this is successful.
Saw this last Sunday. An excellently-faithful adaptation of the short story of the same name. Nick Cage did a good job & excellent performances by the child actors.
@@IvaN-cf7qt the movie is based on a work by H.P. Lovecraft. In that work, which was written not filmed, the author took advantage of the fact his audience could only read the work and there fore he could utilize the concept of a color that exists in the universe, but had yet to be seen on Earth, allowing the reader to try to imagine in their own mind's eye what that color would be and how it would be perceived by their actual eyes. This is a hurdle for the filmmakers to overcome as the very nature of film is visual, and in our era, full color. If you watch closely, you can see the film makers attempted to create this un-earthly color by shifting the color between several different colors and shades as well as adding movement effects inside the color itself and utilizing other visual effects such as smoke effect, fluidity, and the like to the objects exposed to the color as well as the color itself. I blame Television for destroying the critical thinking and creativity of the younger generations.
The trailer doesn't do the movie justice, it's nothing like I thought. I had really low expectations and was a little blown away by how creepy and disturbing it was.
So, is the Colour more portrayed as a non adversarial force that nonetheless affects those nearby rather than an evil entity hellbent on destruction?(Thats one of the things about the trailer I'm not exactly liking.)
Watched the movie finally, turned out to be way better than the trashy trailer. Nicholas Cage was way too hammy for this film and I didn't like it being present day, but having a black main character(which I feel is a big fuck you to HP Lovecraft, given his hatred of anyone who wasn't white(and why he hated living in New York, because more than one colour person)was refreshing and, while I would have liked the build to the "transformations"being more gradual, I thought it was great overall and had a proper Lovecraftian ending.
Wife: “A giant rock came from the sky, everything is crazy now.” Nicholas Cage: “ honey, you’re right. I’m off to steal the Declaration of Independence”. Wife: “oh nevermind, I forgot I married into crazy anyway.”
Where are you? No need to say "at," one of the most overused and unnecessary words in the English language. It's been a trend for at least a decade. The "at" lobby is in full force!
I've imagined "The colour" to be grey with hues of all the other colors shifting within it. The main character finds another member infected with the colour and they're decaying but I imagined the person having color drained out of them and they're just gray with hues of the other colors coming in and out of their body
I love the story, but dread this adaptation. Looks like it lean more towards a B-movie sorta approach than slow-burning slightly psychological horror with bits of body horror (which is what it should be, going by the story)
@@xwilbr Well it's condensing a lot of the thriller stuff into a trailer that's a little over 2 minutes long. There's plenty of room there for slow burning horror.
Lovecraft describes it better than Hollywood. We get a loaded sense of what mystery is whem coming from Hollywood. but when reading from Lovecraft, you feel the sentiment differently.
There are three adaptations of HP Lovecraft's story of the same name, Die Monster Die ( 1965) starring Boris Karloff, The Curse ( 1987) starring Will Weaton of " Stand By Me", and this one from 2019! I love Nicolas Cage! ❤
it never once says from the makers of Mandy lmao, it said the Producer worked on Mandy and a producer has no effect on the story. The director/writer of Mandy is panos cosmatos and the creator of this is Richard Stanly
But not from Panos Cosmatos! Still gonna watch this movie, but I'm more excited for whatever else Panos puts out. Beyond the Black Rainbow actually sits a little higher in my list than Mandy, which was my favorite film of 2018. Highly recommend it if you haven't already seen his debut film!
Looks amazing, love the fact that nicholas cage is still one of those actors that can make you feel like something that is cinematic feel so real and refreshing... cant wait, primal looks badass as well.
Why does this trailer read like a straight up comedy? “The color.... the color.....” I LOL’d. The original story is nuts and I’m excited people are playing with more Lovecraftian lore since Cuthulu has been overdone and there are so many more concepts to use, but man, they choose one of the harder ones to adapt haha
Well, remember, Lovecraft’s stories don’t age well and if I remember correctly, he didn’t really have a strong grasp of science or geometry and therefore, his stories don’t really age that well. On top of that, HP Lovecraft’s work, for the most part, are better off staying as books especially ones like The Color Out of Space due to the idea that it’s an entity of indescribable or unseen colors
@@thealmightyoreoking most stories actually did age well. But the real problems come from the fact that his monster aren't supposed to be comprehended by the human brain. But trying to not show the monster in modern movies makes auidances upset. The best bet for today would be Nyaralothetep. That creature/god can shift into humanoid form so it makes more sense.
I mean, to be honest, the ending was more ambiguous than anything. I just hope this doesn't devolve into some sort of space cult/drug movie, because the trailer already seems to - outside of a mysterrrrrrious color - detract quite a bit from the story itself. Tommy Chong seems like a really bad fit for the adaptation..
Most Lovecraft stories end with the main character saying, "I hope nobody ever finds out about this, it will mean certain Doom!... Hey, would you like to hear about the time something indescribable almost killed me?"
I guarantee its not gonna have a good ending I mean this isn't some like Hollywood movie and those are the typical movies where they tack on on a sappy "and they all lived happy ever after" thing lol usually lower budget indie movies don't have meddling producers making directors do things.
Yeah I was thinkin "The Blob", just from the trailer but that purple is hurting my eyes. I can't do it. It should've been black n white. It wouldve been even campier.
what makes you say it looks just like a standard average movie? mandy was utterly amazing and surprisingly refreshing - color out of space looks very promising as well I think :)
Man! I read this story soo long ago! Never thought it’d be possible to make the movie since there’s no way of showing the colour. Truly a brilliant writer and the inventor of cosmic horror!
0:17 "No Flesh Shall Be Spared" - is that a Hardware reference I see before me? :) Richard Stanley, it's a joyous thing to have you back in the director's chair after so long in the wilderness :)
Cage is a genius and a legend. I feel like each movie he is in is like an alternative version that should be called “imagine if it happened to Nick Cage”.
2:08 "A-OK?" Dude, you're in a Lovecraft movie! If there's one type of horror film that you're absolutely NEVER "A-OK" in, it's a Lovecraft movie!! You'd be safer in an Italian zombie flick!
@@TheBermudaMan Again no. Officer Malone lived in peace in the country side. The person who faced the Lurking Terror at Tempest Mountain survived with only a phobia of underground places. The great Houdini himself managed to escape from the deepest bowls of the Pyramids. The one who went to attend the Festival also managed to escape the Things that have Learned to Walk but ought to crawl. And the main character of the Mountains of Madness made it out all right, even if a lot of his fellows didn't. Doctor Willet defeated Curwin, and lived. The main character of the Shunned House survived, though his Uncle did not. And don't get me started on Randolph Carter. That guy survived meeting Nyarlathotep, if barely.
This was a great movie. CGI wasn't too bad and even then bad CGI could work with uncanny eldritch stuff. I felt like it kept the themes and vibe of Lovecraft's stories. A naturally forming Magenta was a great choice for the color because Magenta doesn't actually exist on the spectrum. Nic Cage was, of course, a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.
I love how Nicolas Cage has become a genre.
xD thats funny man
Yes. He is that and more.
Haha :D

Hell yes
Have you seen Mandy?
Could not agree more! Though he disappeared and then come back with this great one after 15+ years. Whatever he does next I will be first on the line to see it.

We require more decent Lovecraft films, or at the very least, films within the vein of cosmic horror. It’s simply a fact.

Kinda hard when Lovecraft's horror is based on the unknown and your mind needing to decide what the monsters look like

The color out of space story is what I would consider true cosmic horror bc u don't know what it is, like HP Lovecraft writes exactly what the color is but the color isn't just a pink light. The color is just color, but color is seen by light but it's not light it's color. The color has a light but the light is not the color and if it's color then it has no physical form but it kills in painful ways but it's not light (see it can't be explained)
The original book its based on the concept that there are wavelenghts that we can't see, aka. Infra-red, microwave, gamma ray, ultra-violet, x-ray, tv/radio signal. Lovecraft thought that those colors were visible but just not present on earth, which is why the meteor glows with "mYsTeRiuS CoLoRs UnLikE aNy SeEn oN EaRtH". The film uses magenta cause its a color our brain make up when it sees the 2 oposite ends of color expectrum (red and violet) being reflected at the same time, since "the avarage would be green but green has a specific wavelenght so this is for sure not green". We do that with a lot of colors too. So it can be said that "our brain make up magenta cause it can't understand what the actual color would be" which is very lovecraftin if you think about it. So H. P. Lovecraft didn't say it was magenta cause he had a very wrong understanding of science, but magent fits nicely om the idea. Its also possible that the meteor isn't magenta but a color that can't be undertood by humans so we see magenta.
Interesting. But it also shows the advantage written stories have. You can make stuff up and arrange ideas in any possible way, leaving the brain engaged trying to figuring something out that is impossible to figure out.
Like a colour that we can't see.
But in a movie you literally watch and there is no colour that we can't see so we have to use one that we can see... Thanks for pointing out why they choose magenta, that makes sense...
@@sonkeschmidt2027 its also important to remember they say its like Pink but not pink, its a MiStErIuS cOlOr UnLiKe AnY SeEn oN eArTh. Btw if you don't know this phrase comes from a funny video on lovecraft giving a sumuarry on some of his stories, check out its by overly sarcastic productions and its great

A color that " literally does not exist in the visible spectrum." could still leave an impression on camera sensors (they can get infrared and other non-visible ranges), and even have side-effects into the visible spectrum, so there's that...
what if this was black and white movie.
then people have to imagine what that color it is.
Or even have it in color, but "the color" is a black and white effect superimposed over the regular movie color.
Good point
There is a monochrome film. It's a German independent film from 2010 (original title: die Farbe) . I haven't seen it though, it's supposed to be good, but hard to get a copy of.
@@jacksonmayham4875 i think I saw that one on CZcams actually!
I don't know why but your comment made me think of what it would be like for a blind person to take LSD or mushrooms. I always wondered if could make them see a colors in their own way?
Let me add some context for you all:
They made a movie about Magenta....
Magenta isn’t a real color, it’s just what your eye sees because it can’t comprehend what the real color is...
Magenta is the evidence that the brain takes option b - it has apparently constructed a color to bridge the gap between red and violet, because such a color does not exist in the light spectrum. Magenta has no wavelength attributed to it, unlike all the other spectrum colors.
You just blew my mind. I did not know this.
Really? I thought this was based on Lovecraft's book: Color out of space.
@@arthurabogado5054 it was a short story. You can read it in an hour or so. The point he's making is that the film director chose the color magenta for the film's creature, which is basically a formless entity, because magenta isn't a real color that we can see without our brain to fill in all of the missing data. Crazy stuff, right??
@@williamwaddell482 I know about the story. That is why I know about the movie. What I understand is they made the movie based on the book and they made magenta as the color in question. They did not make a movie about magenta.
I dong give a fucking damn...
The trailer undoubtedly does the film a disservice, as “The Color Out of Space” is a true spectacle. This is an absolute masterpiece if a movie.
Check out annihilation. It's a somewhat spiritual adaptation of the colour out of space.
Were you on mushrooms too when you watched it? You stole the words right out of my mouth. I’m gonna watch it again sober to see if it has the same effect on me.
It's a really bad trailer.
@@joshdiaz1364 just read the story, it’s fucking awesome. Was so disappointed with the movie afterwards. The only food part was mother/son merging.
I already wrote a literal essay in reply to another person complaining it changed things from the original story (as it should have with this story to film) but I'll say this: it's the first time I've ever seen a truly faithful rendition of a cosmic horror story, and because of the depressing news how we can't have nice things, am going to ask why we don't just start a gofundme for this director?
"It wasn't like any colour I'd ever seen before..."
That is purple.
Even Oprah would say so. Lol. Pinky purple to my eyes.
Pink has left the chat
It’s not just purple it’s _ultraviolet_.
I’ll just see myself out.
yeah... that indescribable color works in the novel, but on screen... meh. some iridescent stuff like in "Annihilation" would have been more accurate.
Yeah, something referred to as 'indescribable' is literally impossible to show physically.
Looks like Nicholas Cage finally picked the right kind of movie.
Austin Eubank hope so.
Guess you didn’t see Mandy?
Yes please
Austin Eubank Yes! Also Mom and Dad & Mandy were great! Love his movie choices lately
Mandy was also fantastic
Nicholas Cage was BORN to play in a Lovecraftian horror film. He can go from calm and collected to mad and unhinged so expertly and quickly, lol.
I remember the audience's laughter in the cinema when Nicolas cage said slam dunk while smashing tomatoes
Yeah, we all cracked up in the interview part too. "Well, I do like my bourbon." Haha!
This could be good but here's the issue: The Colour Out of Space is probably the lovecraft story that most exemplifies his idea of cosmic horror. Because the colour is not evil, its not a demon, may not even be sapient, its just a completely alien form of life. All the terror and damage it causes is either it just trying to escape back into space or maybe even just its natural life cycle, like a plant growing and then spreading its seeds. The people around it are all effected by these events but only because they just happen to be in the way; its not an attack aimed at them. And thats the important part of a Cosmic Horror story: The horror is the insignificance of mankind beneath the crushing vastness of the universe and the uncaring, unnoticing beings out there. It is to be an ant walking on a busy sidewalk, at any moment your life instantly destroyed by beings beyond your comprehension and ignorant to your existence. Its a horror born of the time Lovecraft lived, as science began to show how the universe didn't revolve around humans and was unfathomably vast.
You walk a very fine line when portraying this kind of horror and things like "He's talking to me" worry me greatly. This isn't poltergeist. It doesn't hate you. Thats the scary part: Its killing you and destroying everything and it doesn't even notice you're there.
@Limitations Limitless Allow me to quote
"Sentience means the ability to feel things, the ability to perceive things. Any living thing that has some degree of consciousness is sentient, including insects, lizards, dogs, dolphins and human beings. The word sentience is derived from the Latin word sentientem, which means feeling. The adjective form is sentient. The word sentience is often misused to mean a creature that thinks.
Sapience means the ability to think, the capacity for intelligence, the ability to acquire wisdom. The scientific name for modern man is Homo sapiens. Sapience only describes a living thing that is able to think. The word sapience is derived from the Latin word sapientia, which means intelligence or discernment. The adjective form is sapient. Note that sentience is often misused in place of the word sapience."
So yes, you're definitely sentient. But all things considered, I'm not sure you're sapient.
@@Audiodump "not sure you're sapient" GRAMMARBURN'D
It’s also an example of the fact that Lovecraft truly feared the unknown. Be it unfathomable beings from outer space or other cultures and skin colors.
@Limitations Limitless That it's "talking to me" according to the movie, indicates a sapient entity as opposed to a purely sentient one.
It's also one of his silliest stories from a conceptual level when looking back from a scientific-historical viewpoint.
I have no idea why Hollywood has waited this long to put Nicolas Cage in a Lovecraft movie, but it just... WORKS. Cage is perfect for this kind of project, as he's just as weird as Lovecraft is. I can't wait for this.
all hail the weird
Yeah, if ever there's an actor who sells the "my sanity meter is running low" method, it's Cage.
I don’t see this doing well. They had to screw the story by making it look cartoonish rather then creepy. And plainly sad seeing his family slowly waste away. It’s got tommy Chong in it ffs.
Also the “lets get away from it all” shit is so cliche. Why not make them the rural people they are in the story?
@ I kinda agree but I'll hold out final judgement until I see it
@ It would seem to me that it's due to the people making the movie wanting the Cast to have that "not sure if this is normal" thought process, as well as having them be juxtaposed to their rural neighbors. Not to mention the fact that they wouldn't now know anyone in the area (as well as they did in the story), so they would be less likely to be able to know who to look for to find any meaningful help.
I don't agree with the change, but we should reserve final judgement on it until it comes out. Lovecraft stories are always going to be better than their movie counterparts, so long as you have a vivid imagination.
“Mandy”, “Dog Eat Dog”, “The Trust”. I keep running into Cage in all these little movies I’d never even heard of that are pretty cool. I guess if he wasn’t a madman and hadn’t squandered all his money on dinosaur skulls we wouldn’t see him in all these little gems.
He just can’t stop making movies. And I say: Carry on, you freaky genius.
From what I've heard he doesn't like big Hollywood.
This was one of the best HP Lovecraft adaptions, next to the ones made by the HPLHS, ever. It’s absolutely gonzo and I loved every minute of it. Sure, the characters are quite different than the story, but it totally works.
Richard Stanley is an odd cat, I won’t pretend otherwise, but to leave the movie industry for twenty years and come back with this as his first film in decades? That’s a feat that few will ever equal in filmmaking.
Give this movie a try. Trust your ol’ pal Rondy, that really handsome stud with the weird name...and goofy face. I’ll not lead you astray.
I'm not even kidding, I want people to start a gofundme for him. We can do crowdsourcing and kickstartering for videogames, why can't we do it for movies? Like this guy, I'm sorry but I truly don't give a shit if he hit his wife, and no I don't give a shit if she hit him back, or what they were arguing about. This is true art, a masterpiece fully encapsulating its genre in the best ways possible (minus the utterly bizarre and bad choice to cast Nick Cage and Tommy Chong in it, which Chong at least pulled off with his character while Cage was distractingly farcical) and if he's getting the boot because of some dumb allegation because Hollywood is touchy about how many rapists it's harboring so it doesn't want to chance it by allowing this outsider with his marriage drama to making films well I don't care. I want to see the Dunwich Horror made by the singular only person I've seen make any film that's remotely adequate as a cinematographic adaptation of cosmic horror, and well, if I have to personally make a donation to some kickstarter fund for a guy with a bad marriage, or possible abuser, well I'll have to do that.

“You mean there exist colours that man has never seen? WHAT MIGHT THEY BE CAPABLE OF!”
~H.P. Lovecraft
*Mysterious colors, unlike any seen on earth!* The next part of Journey to the West is being scripted. =D
Awhile back I had a near death experience, I remember being in a field with plants I’ve never seen before, they had colors I can never explain, they were very beautiful
Infrared turned out to be ultraviolent.
This is the funnier part of that video in my opinion but everyone seems to have enjoyed that other joke more.
By the way I think she says "You mean there exist* colours that..."
Book: An unfathomable color no one has ever laid eyes on. The sheer idea of attempting to grasp how such a thing could exist within our visible spectrum is enough to drive people to madness.
Movie: it purple :^3
Ultraviolet, magenta, purple, pink, fuschia, amethyst. Choose one.
MYSTERIOUS COLORS UNLIKE ANY SEEN ON EARTH!
To be fair, lovecraft took inspiration from the discovery of ultraviolet, a mysterious coulor, unlike anyother seen on earth
A color that " literally does not exist in the visible spectrum." could still leave an impression on camera sensors (they can get infrared and other non-visible ranges), and even have side-effects into the visible spectrum, so there's that...
i like purple :)
As a colossal fan of Lovecraft, I think I might cry. Yes, there has been movies that dives into his work before, but to have a big production like this, is exciting. And that it’s the first one in a trilogy, is wonderful. Please do Lovecraft justice.
color is one of, if not my favorite LC story, it was also, coincidently or not, my first time reading him. its the best one off tale to show people what lovecraft is. a true horror that is beyond human understanding.
i have yet to watch it, but all i want to know is how will it end, since, the ending is also one of the things that made it as good as it is.
What’s going to be the second and third parts? Same story or same universe?
this looks horribly average though lmao
@@daisychainsaw I saw the trailer and was totally unamused but I watched the movie today and it is very good, for an indie movie and compared to the crap in the horror genre, it's a really good 80s feeling horror movie
@@daisychainsaw It's better than what I expected, much better. Using a few exact lines from the book was a very smart idea.
I just finished the movie, it's amazing. As a fan of Lovecraft since I was 14, this is about as close to a perfect adaptation of one of his works out there. While it's set in the present day the story still stays faithful to the original, and incorporates modern elements like TVs and smartphones pretty smoothly. It's obvious the people behind it genuinely love Lovecraft's stories and his themes of cosmic horror in general. Solid film, 7.5 or 8/10 for me.
@Reggin Reggin Well of course he'd hate it, they turned his protagonist into a black guy.
@Reggin Reggin Alright, you got me.
Lol…so wait it’s an “amazing” film and “about as close to a perfect adaptation” yet you still gave it a 7.5/8? You gave it a B. Makes zero sense based on your high marks
"Amazing" and "close to perfect ADAPTATION". He was pretty clear. If he'd called it 100% perfect in every way, then he should've given it a 10/10. But, he's not a complete moron, so he understands that there's literally no such thing as the "perfect" movie. Hope that clears things up for you a bit
Supposedly the main guy behind getting this done is wanting to make a trilogy of H.P Lovecraft movies, this being the first. Can't wait to see more, this was executed so well.

Someone who comments on youtube videos, but doood, black and white has been done already. They are trying something new, and besides, the color isn’t the spooky part of the story it’s the effect it has on it’s surroundings.
@@spormlastname267 No... The colour part is part of the spookiness. It's a whole thing, it's supposed to be otherworldly, a Sin City style black, white and greys with colour only used in certain sections could've been really useful here. Seriously, go back and read the original short story, Lovecraft makes a big deal of the colour being "UNLIKE ANY SEEN ON EARTH!" It's a major component of the story, coupled with the whole feeding people to the well thing. I mean, seriously, I'm not expecting people to make it out alive of this one.
Maybe it's not really pink and that's just what we're seeing because we're seeing it through a camera lense.
its more of a mix of magenta, pink, purple, and blues and seems to be changing and .
it doesn't matter. and black and white would be less fun.
@@neomis6899 yeah nah the Color Out of Space is one of my favorite stories by Lovecraft and I honestly think this is doing a great job at depicting it. How much pinks and blues do you ACTUALLY see in nature? not a lot. The way Lovecraft describes the color it's more like a prismatic (here meaning multicolored, refracting) miasma, a sort of tinted haze that stains the land.
I think Black and White would have been detrimental. But what I AM seeing in this trailer is they're using relatively desaturated colors in the "normal" parts, and hyper-vibrant purples, pinks, and blues for the Color. THAT's a way a better depiction, imho.

Iva N a video from overly sarcastic productions on about hp Lovecraft
@@IvaN-cf7qt the movie is based on a work by H.P. Lovecraft. In that work, which was written not filmed, the author took advantage of the fact his audience could only read the work and there fore he could utilize the concept of a color that exists in the universe, but had yet to be seen on Earth, allowing the reader to try to imagine in their own mind's eye what that color would be and how it would be perceived by their actual eyes.
This is a hurdle for the filmmakers to overcome as the very nature of film is visual, and in our era, full color.
If you watch closely, you can see the film makers attempted to create this un-earthly color by shifting the color between several different colors and shades as well as adding movement effects inside the color itself and utilizing other visual effects such as smoke effect, fluidity, and the like to the objects exposed to the color as well as the color itself.
I blame Television for destroying the critical thinking and creativity of the younger generations.

The trailer doesn't do the movie justice, it's nothing like I thought. I had really low expectations and was a little blown away by how creepy and disturbing it was.
I really hope this is true cause i didn't like this trailer very much
So, is the Colour more portrayed as a non adversarial force that nonetheless affects those nearby rather than an evil entity hellbent on destruction?(Thats one of the things about the trailer I'm not exactly liking.)
Really? Because this trailer is awful
Watched the movie finally, turned out to be way better than the trashy trailer. Nicholas Cage was way too hammy for this film and I didn't like it being present day, but having a black main character(which I feel is a big fuck you to HP Lovecraft, given his hatred of anyone who wasn't white(and why he hated living in New York, because more than one colour person)was refreshing and, while I would have liked the build to the "transformations"being more gradual, I thought it was great overall and had a proper Lovecraftian ending.

I didn't expect it to turn into body horror, that was great. And I'm not easily scared but the atmosphere really got me.
I've imagined "The colour" to be grey with hues of all the other colors shifting within it. The main character finds another member infected with the colour and they're decaying but I imagined the person having color drained out of them and they're just gray with hues of the other colors coming in and out of their body
In my opinion, it’s Lovecraft’s best short story. Superb writing. Ahead of its time. I’m very excited.
From what I heard, it was Lovecraft's own favorite as well
I love the story, but dread this adaptation. Looks like it lean more towards a B-movie sorta approach than slow-burning slightly psychological horror with bits of body horror (which is what it should be, going by the story)
@@xwilbr Well it's condensing a lot of the thriller stuff into a trailer that's a little over 2 minutes long. There's plenty of room there for slow burning horror.

90% of the comments: "it's a color as no other seen in the earth...."
because human eyes can see every color there is? They did great job on this one.
It's actually "Mysterious colors, unlike any seen on earth". It's a quote from an Overly Sarcastic Productions video

Oh my god are we all from OSP?
Yaaaaas. I love OSP. Just rewatched the Lovecraft episode recently. "His mother came down with being a women disease".
A gathering of OSP fans. I'm here for it. I love how we all thought the same thing as soon as we saw the thumbnail
GENDER REVEAL PARTY: THE MOVIE
omg its a lovecraftian creature
This comment needs to be on all of the promotional material.
Tekeli-Li!
Okay, that one made me laugh...
Is this some kind of american joke im to european to understand?
There are three adaptations of HP Lovecraft's story of the same name, Die Monster Die ( 1965) starring Boris Karloff, The Curse ( 1987) starring Will Weaton of " Stand By Me", and this one from 2019! I love Nicolas Cage! ❤
My favorite Lovecraft story. It’s hard to imagine a color like none we have ever seen on this earth.
Look kind of a B-movie. And you know what they say...
"Not the B's ! Not the B's !!!"
Omg yessssssss
As a B-Rate Horror fan, I'm OK with it being one.
Oh no my eyes!!!! My eyes AAAAAAAAAAHHHH
Nicolas Cage's B movie
2:08 "Everything's going to be A-OK..."
That blue aura surrounded the letters of names and movie title remember me "The Blob"
Literally just read the book, looked for an animated story afterwards on youtube and i find this... awesome cant wait to watch it
"The color, the color" will always give me chill behind my understanding the concept of soul that I own.
Trailer: From the Makers of Mandy
Me: Shut up and take my money!
For real.
it never once says from the makers of Mandy lmao, it said the Producer worked on Mandy and a producer has no effect on the story. The director/writer of Mandy is panos cosmatos and the creator of this is Richard Stanly
👍👍👍
Mandy was overrated trash, what was good about that movie?
But not from Panos Cosmatos! Still gonna watch this movie, but I'm more excited for whatever else Panos puts out. Beyond the Black Rainbow actually sits a little higher in my list than Mandy, which was my favorite film of 2018. Highly recommend it if you haven't already seen his debut film!
Looks amazing, love the fact that nicholas cage is still one of those actors that can make you feel like something that is cinematic feel so real and refreshing... cant wait, primal looks badass as well.
Did you write this before or after you picked up the crack-pipe? This guy is on the level of Steven Seagal now! 🤣
xSMOKExEMxALLx That’s rich coming from the guy with four Xs in his name.
Was xXC0D3DV3NGANC3Xx taken?
@@thewrustywrench21 you guys crazy!
Cage was great in Mandy!! All those years of crap movies he did might be paying off
Cage is the greatest but often seems they need to give him better material but I like him in just about anything he does!
1st show in the theater at 8am for breakfast, 2nd show straight to DVD
"the producers of Mandy" and with Nicolas Cage... I have to see this!!
Why does this trailer read like a straight up comedy?
“The color.... the color.....” I LOL’d.
The original story is nuts and I’m excited people are playing with more Lovecraftian lore since Cuthulu has been overdone and there are so many more concepts to use, but man, they choose one of the harder ones to adapt haha
Well, remember, Lovecraft’s stories don’t age well and if I remember correctly, he didn’t really have a strong grasp of science or geometry and therefore, his stories don’t really age that well. On top of that, HP Lovecraft’s work, for the most part, are better off staying as books especially ones like The Color Out of Space due to the idea that it’s an entity of indescribable or unseen colors
read "in the heart of darkness" and you will get it. its a reference for this book.
@@thealmightyoreoking most stories actually did age well. But the real problems come from the fact that his monster aren't supposed to be comprehended by the human brain. But trying to not show the monster in modern movies makes auidances upset. The best bet for today would be Nyaralothetep. That creature/god can shift into humanoid form so it makes more sense.
What cthulu movies are there
Studio Hannah Yeah! Lovecraft is almost 100 years old now and I’m glad it’s been getting more attention recently
It better not have a good ending because the original story didn't.
I mean, to be honest, the ending was more ambiguous than anything. I just hope this doesn't devolve into some sort of space cult/drug movie, because the trailer already seems to - outside of a mysterrrrrrious color - detract quite a bit from the story itself. Tommy Chong seems like a really bad fit for the adaptation..
@@_mellosine I feel like his whole thing is just gonna be like-- the obligatory Stephen-King-esque exposition vagueries.
Most Lovecraft stories end with the main character saying, "I hope nobody ever finds out about this, it will mean certain Doom!... Hey, would you like to hear about the time something indescribable almost killed me?"
I guarantee its not gonna have a good ending I mean this isn't some like Hollywood movie and those are the typical movies where they tack on on a sappy "and they all lived happy ever after" thing lol usually lower budget indie movies don't have meddling producers making directors do things.
By far the best adaptation of Lovecraft's work.
Well, this movie came out better than expected, I was surprised at many points. Great job!
It definitely definitely bring a “The Blob” type of vibe, anyone else?
I just wrote that now without even looking at the prior comments-Yes you are correct.
FINALLY! Was looking for a comment about this...
the funny thing is, every time i see something "depicting" the color, its always somewhere between purple and shocking pink.
Yeah I was thinkin "The Blob", just from the trailer but that purple is hurting my eyes. I can't do it. It should've been black n white. It wouldve been even campier.
It looks like a standard average movie, but if it does well, who else besides me agrees that Del Toro should continue At The Mountains Of Madness?
Nyarlathotep me 👍
I would binge on Mountains of Madness if Del Toro did it! Seriously that he's a genius and would do it right
if that fucker cannot go all political for once, which is almost impossible, yes
Feel like Del Toro is the only one who's insane enough
what makes you say it looks just like a standard average movie? mandy was utterly amazing and surprisingly refreshing - color out of space looks very promising as well I think :)
You can count on Cage for a solid, honest and genuine performance, irrespective of the subject matter
Bought this on Blu Ray a few days ago and haven't got around to watching it yet. I'll watch it tonight probably.
Watch Mandy before this, he goes full Nicholas Cage, best movie he has made in years.
Your comment made my day
100% correct! Mandy was brilliant!
U rip my shirt u rip my shirt!!!
Watched it on acid. I watched doctor sleep and the joker on acid two days ago. Best way to watch sick movies.
Kaneron Johnson only acid I know is stuff I put in the pool...🙄
Actually looks good Nicolas Cage needs a win... He is a great Actor.
Jason Newcomer Mandy from last year was awesome.
I agree that Nick needs a win, but this movie looks just plain awful.
M A N D Y
@@eeyorewasright6050 It was mostly unsung, but Mandy was that winner in my book. He plays a parody of himself and it's GENIUS.
@@eeyorewasright6050 looks way better than your last performance thats for sure ..
Man! I read this story soo long ago! Never thought it’d be possible to make the movie since there’s no way of showing the colour. Truly a brilliant writer and the inventor of cosmic horror!
0:17 "No Flesh Shall Be Spared" - is that a Hardware reference I see before me? :) Richard Stanley, it's a joyous thing to have you back in the director's chair after so long in the wilderness :)
MYSTERIOUS COLOR, UNLIKE ANY SEEN ON EA-
Overly sarcastic productions?
YES I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
You mean there exist colors that man has never seen? WHAT MIGHT THEY BE CAPABLE OF!?
@@CyberneticHamster108 : I want Nicolas Cage to read that line in the movie.
Omurice
“Burning” things, perhaps?
I always respected Nicolas Cage for being so daring and diverse with his roles. I hope this does well, the man deserves a career boost.
I just finished listening to the audio book. As soon as i saw the trailer i recognized everything i just heard
Cage is a genius and a legend. I feel like each movie he is in is like an alternative version that should be called “imagine if it happened to Nick Cage”.
When you're a director and you smoke a blunt with Chong on the set.
Haha. Almost didn't recognize him.
Purple haze 😋
I thought I was trippin when I saw him lol wtf
2:08 "A-OK?" Dude, you're in a Lovecraft movie! If there's one type of horror film that you're absolutely NEVER "A-OK" in, it's a Lovecraft movie!! You'd be safer in an Italian zombie flick!
The trick is *knowing* you're in a Lovecraft movie.
He clearly is not aware of that 🙄
I mean, not really. A lot of Lovecraft's characters actually survive his stories.
@@levongevorgyan6789 ...only to commit suicide or spend the rest of their days locked inside a sanitarium.
@@TheBermudaMan Again no. Officer Malone lived in peace in the country side. The person who faced the Lurking Terror at Tempest Mountain survived with only a phobia of underground places. The great Houdini himself managed to escape from the deepest bowls of the Pyramids. The one who went to attend the Festival also managed to escape the Things that have Learned to Walk but ought to crawl. And the main character of the Mountains of Madness made it out all right, even if a lot of his fellows didn't. Doctor Willet defeated Curwin, and lived. The main character of the Shunned House survived, though his Uncle did not. And don't get me started on Randolph Carter. That guy survived meeting Nyarlathotep, if barely.
This was a great movie. CGI wasn't too bad and even then bad CGI could work with uncanny eldritch stuff. I felt like it kept the themes and vibe of Lovecraft's stories. A naturally forming Magenta was a great choice for the color because Magenta doesn't actually exist on the spectrum. Nic Cage was, of course, a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.
"It wasn't like any color I'd ever seen before"
Magenta
Magenta is the color we see because we can't comprehend what the true color is so our eyes create a ultraviolet color instead
