Colour Out of Space | Ratings & Reviews

"Of course, it's true drawcard is Cage. Fresh from his latest career comeback in 2018's Mandy, here we once again get a performance of two halves. They're perhaps not as extreme as in Panos Cosmatos' phantasmagoric horror, but it's still a lot of fun to see nebbish Nic slip into a full-on Cage rage at the drop of a hat."

"Color just can't seem to decide what kind of movie it wants to be; high-end sci-fi or B-grade ham. It's the lovechild of Alex Garland and Ed Wood and a very frustrating experience to boot. I loved it, and I hated it."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"Cage in particular is very much in his element, proving his reputation as an undisciplined weirdo is less than deserved. His performance is one long freakout, but a carefully calibrated one, escalating as the situation deteriorates."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"It's disorderly fun that sports a directorial personality distinct enough to make one grateful for Stanley's return."

VarietyVariety

"If I tell you that Nicolas Cage's eyeballs will turn into ultraviolet high-beams, then you'll know immediately if you're in or out."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Plenty of filmmakers have put Lovecraft's many-tentacled extraterrestrial creatures onto the screen, but "Color Out of Space" illustrates a hue - and a mood - that's much more abstract."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"A well-made, mostly effective slice of cosmic horror cinema, not to mention the welcome return of a director with a fascinating eye, and is well worth a look for genre fans in the mood for something a little different."

FilmInkFilmInk

"Hitting the main plot points with well-designed SFX and some impressive night photography, Stanley's film manages to be frightening indeed, even with star Nicolas Cage’s semi-farcical leavening adding some nutty laughs."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Full-bore, glorious B-movie Cage: Cranked up to 11, spattered with gore and bellowing about alpacas."

New York PostNew York Post

"Color Out of Space more than just a great Lovecraft adaptation - its existence is one of the year's most satisfying (and, quite frankly, touching) success stories."
