Beautifully handled. The characters were believable and well played. The horror was very evident. Nicely done.
Weird script, interesting acting choices. My husband hated it and almost ruined it for me while we were watching. Despite many flaws it scared the crap outta me and it's a visual masterpiece.
Nicholas Cage is doing us horror fans such a service with his work. This movie rivals Long Legs for me. This is my favorite Lovecraft story, so I was nervous how it would be handled in modern times, but the whole cast slays. One of my favorites of the year so far!
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, given how hard it is to adapt Lovecraft's stories to movies and Cage's varying levels of acting ability. Turns out, this movie is pretty damn good! The gore effects were suitably gruesome, and the way they used the eponymous color was well handled. Definitely worth a watch!
Beautifully drawn build-up of strangeness and how people respond to circumstances outside their understanding. Delicious effects, lovely work by Colin Stetson on the score, lots of Swedish death metal and western occult references for the nerds. I love this weird family and their misunderstanding of alpaca farming.
