Review of Color Out of Space (2019) by Zen-Zinxe — 04 Apr 2020
An aggressively awful adaptation. On its own merits (disregarding source material) this movie is a predictably subversive, horror cliche filled couple hours of garbage that deserves recognition only for the occasionally well crafted suspense and interesting visuals. Taking the source material into consideration, this adaptation is unfaithful on nearly every level. For every thing it keeps accurate there are 10 things completely invented for the sake of cinematic drama, no doubt in an effort to keep stimulus overloaded infantile adults transfixed by the sensationalized elements that the original story had none of.
On the plus side, if you're a kind of passive viewer who enjoys colorful lights, being scared, not thinking a lot in general about any one thing, this movie is designed almost especially for you.
