Nicolas Cage's persistence finally paid off

★★★★☆ Nicolas Cage finally chose a good script this time, and the characters in the play are very suitable for him. A somewhat neurotic father, but also very family oriented. The scope of the film's thriller and suspense is well built, making people immersed in the plot a little bit. The plot goes mysterious, but also makes sense. The artistic effect is outstanding, and the use of those purple and red colors makes the picture look beautiful. Not only the people in the play are fascinated, but even the audience seems to be sucked in. There is a plot where the character modeling is similar to that in "The Living Devil", which is very disgusting and exciting. Blessed are viewers who like cult movies, and the ending with little explanation is evocative.

Color Out of Space quotes

  • Nathan Gardner: [receiving Ward and Sheriff Pierce in his house] It's you. Toxologist.

    Ward: I'm the hydrologist, sir, yeah. Um, we came to make sure you're okay.

    Nathan Gardner: [touched] That's very kind of you. We've been having a hard time, you know? The car and telephone and Wi-Fi. Heh, life in the sticks.

  • [first lines]

    Ward: West of Arkham the hills rise wild and there are valleys with deep woods that no ax has ever cut. There are dark, narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glimpse of sunlight. When I went into the hills and vales to survey for the new reservoir, they told me the place was evil. They told me this in Arkham, and because that is a very old town, full of witch legends, I thought the evil must be something which grandams had whispered to children through centuries. Then I saw the dark westward tangle of glens and slopes for myself and ceased to wonder at anything besides its own elder mystery.
