@@lyotesharaia4829 “hey man, great performance, really believable. Hey what’s up with your eye?” _”Ah nothin’ just-just a little pollen. Life in the sticks, you know? Makes ya twitchy”_
*This* movie is Sooo damn Underrated and Underacknowledged even more so than the Europa Report! I highly recommend This movie; it is a fresh New wave of SciFi Horror Lovecraftian air
When I saw a thumbnail, I thought it's just some kind of photoshopped together pic, but I love Lovecraft so i clicked just to make sure this is isnt a real movie. An apparently it is, which is great)
Agreed the Doruk, phenomenal film, felt like I was watching a fun version of the Thing. Great cast they all worked well together, great color coordination, great design, great set. And the narration at the end was like the closing statements of an actual Lovecraft story, and was one of the best hype for films to come. Not some spoiler after the movie scene. This film did total justice to Lovecraft’s works. I read the story to my daughter last night.
I was originally worried about how bad they were gunna make the colour out of space but when I watched it I was like finally it took years but we actually have a really good adaptation of H.P. lovecrafts work bravo 👏
Given his general attitude to anything he couldn't immediately understand (such as colour, mathematics and air conditioning), he probably would wind up writing a horror story about CGI.
Finally, Lovecraft’s stories getting what they always deserved. Cos Some of King’s stories are nice(some others boring tho), but many of them seem to be based off of Lovecraftian horror, so best to see the original now.
I can't wait for the rest of Richard Stanley's Lovecraft trilogy. He knows his shit and he is a fantastic director. And I love this film. It sends shivers down my spine
His mother who had cancer then, (I’m not sure of her condition now) she used to read it to him when he was eight or sick, he came out of a 25 year retirement to make this film for her...... saaaalute! Fantastic director fantastic person
Really hope we hear more about the next film in this franchise soon. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I want to see more quality Lovecraftian horror in the near future.
What a comeback film for Mr Stanley. I really admire the mans artistry and feel he was dealt a bad hand from Hollywood. He took one of my favorite authors and subject matter and made a visually entertaining and engrossing film. The cast was just the cherry on top.
@@vuilnisgod4388 holy shit just watched the trailer for it and the only reason I can say I missed this is cuz I tend to stray away from Nick Cage in general lol. But preciate the jewel my guy watching it today
I saw this on February, and it's insanely good! I love the body horror aspect as well. Nic Cage did a good job in this film. Richard Stanley, I thank you for bringing this to us. I have this in my DVD collection.
The thing was actually enjoyable to watch. This movie not so much, almost challenges your patience. Literally just a bunch of magenta lights and dialogue you give up caring for during the beginning narration.
Where did you get the information that there would be a SOI adaptation? There's only been confirmation so far that there would be a Dunwich Horror adaptation by Stanley.
Yeah I don’t see that anywhere either link please. But if it’s the case totally agree, Nick Cage would kick ass. do it do it. Heck if it’s not true keep saying it, might become true. Might as well while we’re on a roll.
Hi, I leave for basic training today(Navy heyo) and this was a great send off. Loved getting to see your channel evolve and watching the content you make. Keep up the great work man.
I've actually had an idea for a Lovecraftian script that...well, it's a work in progress. 'Basically, there's a female astronaut that is leaving Earth in a week for a mission. She keeps having these dreams that she's floating in space, and in the distance is a pulsating rip. As the days pass closer to her mission, the rip becomes closer and clearer, and eventually she starts to hear a voice from inside the rip. Her husband keeps telling her that it's just the stress and anxiety from her mission, but she isn't sure. She feels like it could be a warning, or that something is calling to her. Eventually the mission happens, and after a few months of being in space the ship blows up, sending her adrift in the vastness of space. Her oxygen draining, she passes out. She comes to, not sure how far she is from the shipwreck and surprised that she is still alive, she sees the rip from her dreams. Reflecting from the helmet visor, we see tendrils coming out of the rip and what appears to be a giant being with multiple eyes and a massive mouth. She laughs as she sees it and begins to cry. She wakes up in a hospital bed with her husband next to her. The nurse tells them "congratulations on your new baby!" as the husband is in tears. He tells her that she has been replaced after collapsing during a training exercise, and that's how they found out she is pregnant. "I'll leave you two alone. Let me know if you need anything, Mr. Whateley" the nurse says as she leaves.' So that's basically it. I'm sure this will be lost in the comments, but it's just an idea that's been floating around in my head for the past year or so. Maybe I'll actually get it on paper, but I'd like to know what you guys think and anything that might be able to make it more interesting/Lovecrafty.
Intriguing. Though I'm not sure how the Rip visions connect to her having a baby. Was it a nightmare? Or did the evil in the rip impregnated her with its seed? It's Lovecraftian for sure. Needs some more polishing and development though before you can showcase it. I truly hope that you will be able to get this on paper. I wish you the best of luck.
I am a script writer kind of guy too, have a bunch, nothing in the theme of Lovecraft surprisingly. But I really like where you’re going with it. I could visualize an astronaut being yanked out of a wrecked ship and into space, I don’t recall ever seeing such a scene in a film so you got that working for you. Well besides the scene with princess Leia but I think people are trying to forget that lol. Sounds pretty, I don’t have anyone that I talk to about my writing critiques, feel open to reply back-and-forth, I’m an artist, would love to make you a graphic novel for it. If at least a few pages for you to take home. Suggestions: starting your story with differences between the couple regarding childbirth, that’s a good way to add filler and foreshadowing, it also builds your initial tension a light one that gradual and I’m expecting and its relation to your outcome. Then after that constrict your self to her focus at work further in the story to instill her view of pregnancy one of either being in capable or problematic just to have a baby at the moment. You can extend that she has issues in the training, but though we know she gets past them because she goes into space, those slight failures in training could be in reference to her insecurity or inability to give a baby as she feels she is falling short and it’s affecting her you can extend that she has issues in the training, but though we know she gets past them because she goes in the space, those slight failures in training could be in reference to her insecurity or inability to give a baby as she feels she is falling short and it’s affecting her. No telling how to write your story but those are some good advice on how to add some filler and build on your ideas to strengthen your vision. And if she has hiccups in training it will reassure her character that when she’s in the hospital with the baby that this is reality “maybe I really did collapse” and that self reassurance might make her happy enough to not realize the illusion she is in or care about whatever did happen to get her where she’s at. Best of luck.
Only Niyat and that smooth, calming, voice of his could make terrifying eldritch beings of the unknowable cosmos wreaking havoc on humanity sound like a childrens bedtime story.
i admit when i see it first on trailer i hated it, fear it, knowing unknowingly ignored it but when niyat explain about what this movie truly is i was shocked if only i knew what this movie truly is. fear of unknown is truly horid thing
Fun fact: The creator and Nicolas Cage are fans of lovecraft. In the book the animals and people would mutate a little then die but in the movie they take it to whole nother level which I love. Also he made this movie for his mom that had cancer and used to read books to him when he was eight but she is sick now.
whoooooooaaaaaaaaaaa.......!! the director/writer of a movie based off of a Lovecraft BOOK is a Lovecraft FAN?? WOW, WOw, WoW. wow. whaaaaaaat? the star is a fan TOO? such and interesting and fun fact!! please share more. /s
@@joshmciver4847 It's just that there are many writers that don't give a crap about the source material like Paul W.S. Anderson and his godawful resident evil movies.
Yes obviously but statable none the lease, a really good fact is that he made this movie for his mother who had cancer, she used to read the books to him when he was eight and sick, now she is sick and he came out of a 20 year retirement, after being screwed over by Hollywood, to tell the story to her is his own way. And the son of the year award goes to... wait. wait.. Stanley!
Holy shit. This film is excellent. Well done, Niyat. I absolutely love Lovecraft’s stories and Lovecraftian films. I am definitely keeping an eye out for this roller coaster.🌌
Nic Cage out there acting like he knows how.... perfect casting. I would want Nic Cage to play The Shining Jack Torrance, if Nicholas didn't make that role a masterpiece.
This is one of HP Lovecrafts stories i cannot take seriously, cause he essentially heard there were colors humans couldnt see (ultravoilet/infrared etc) And like everything it scared the crap outa him
The best Lovecraft adaptation since Stuart Gordon's version of Dagon and From Beyond and Re-Animator And Nicolas Cafe's best performance since Mandy You should also do a video on Mandy
I agree the new niche that the color affected electronics is extremely interesting, and very validating to set it in a New Age. If you’re going to change something have a reason that was assaulted, and television and phones is an easy way to get across communication in your film faster.
Something someone else pointed out in another video is that The Color isn't trying to hurt anyone, but as stated by Ezra "It came from The Stars where things ain't like how they are here" and "It's trying to make this place into what it knows". So The Color was trying to make the world around it into something it could understand, after all it is probably just as confused and horrified at our world as much as we are horrified of it. Until it felt Ward's horror at the vision it showed him at the finally and realized that a creature from a place where color is sentient and a world where color isn't sentient just cannot mix, so it leaves.
Still, the director didn't quite understand the ending of the original story. The Colour actually sucked the life force out of surrounding beings so it could return to the depths of space. The mutations were a side effect of this action. That's why there's a blasted heath at the end, it'd been drained of life. Same thing happened with "The Mist" movie with Jane. The director totally changed the original ending and overall message of King's work. Bizarre.
Pretty rare for Nick cage not being the craziest thing in the movie, I loved it and the use of good practical effects ,finally getting the lovecraft adaptation we deserve
Cage was perfectly cast for this movie. It really is the best pure Lovecraft adaptation so far as it's completely faithful to the tone of the story, and I want Stanley to complete his trilogy.
This is the first time I've seen someone point out the cleverness of using magenta - it makes perfect sense and is the only way you can really provide a visual cue that is both visually possible and instinctively unnatural.
This has been one of my favorite cosmic horror films. I was not at fond of the book. I found the other stories better because they offered something familiar. It took me until I was in college to appreciate the story. I am glad I gave this movie a chance because it had the same eerie atmosphere and mystery of the story. Can you do an exploration of how the "Color" could be the more threatening presence alluded to in "At the mountains of madness"?
I saw a theory awhile back that the Color is living Radiation which in my opinion makes sense as Lovecraft based the Story on the X-Ray and the negative effects it can have on plants and animals.
The color out of space is the best HP Lovecraft meditation sure you mention some imitators or inspired by Lovecraft but this is the closest we got for a Lovecraft movie
I loved this movie so much even though it diverted from the original story it was still amazing and im getting it on blu ray thank you for covering this
I'm really glad when I heard you at the beginning saying "hey guy what's happenning? Niyat here with films comics explained" Go on, brother, and thank you so much. Please, can you make videos about the Fallout series. :)
Lovecraft is notoriously hard to adapt to screen, specifically because of the unnameable and I show able horror of the stories. This was a brilliant effort and is probably the best direct adaptation we have of a Cthulhu mythos story.
Love your channel! Could you PLEASE make videos about bloodborne lore, it's organizations, monsters and characters??! You of all channels would be perfect for that.
Tommy Chongs vocal performance at the end of this film is one of the greatest achievements of this film. Genuinely unsettling literally perfect for lovecraft.
At the end, when Nathan is chasing Ward, interpreted it differently. Since he was speaking in Levinia's voice, I thought the entire family's consciousness had fused. They attacked Ward to drive him into the wine cellar, in the hopes that he would be safe from the color's absorption, ultimately sacrificing themselves in the process. I mean, the thing did look like a tornado. Also, the blasted heath. The fact that Ward is also colorless in that scene made me think that the entity actually _eats color._
Elijah Wood of the Lord of Rings is one of the executive producers of this film. I read somewhere he wants to do adaptations of Lovecraft works. it would be great if he and Del Toro do, "At the Mountains of Madness." How many more years do we have to wait?
I eagerly await the other movies. If this is what we get from this director in adapting Lovecrafts stories, than perhaps we may yet finally get some great retellings. I wonder what the third movie would be though? I'm really curious. I know I'm dying for a good adaptation of Mountains of Madness or Shadow over Innsmouth.
I really loved this one because of the whole lovecraft vibes and also because it’s a horror movie and i also loved Mandy and I also loved cosmic horror movies
I was reading how the vision is the tentacle planet Yuggoth and it was so in-tranced with the Color, it allowed it to consume and change him, now that's weird and that's my man Lovecraft.
There's another movie adaptation of the same story called 'The Curse' that came out in 1987 which was a great year for movies. That's the same year Evil Dead 2, Predator, and The Brave Little Toaster came out. Killer Klowns from Outer Space came out a year later.
West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut. There are dark narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically, and where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glint of sunlight.
