I watched the new Nic Cage version of Color Out Of Space today. It was good, much better than I expected. It is updated to the modern era, one of the kids is now female (and is a rather accurate depiction of a Witch for a change), and there are a few other changes. But it sticks mostly to the story. It even starts with a narration of the first paragraph of the story, and ends with the second from last one. I was even delighted to see one character reading The Willows, by Algernon Blackwood. Lovecraft loved that story. He cites it in Supernatural Horror In Literature.
It is a slow burn, psychological piece. Though it does get very John Carpenter Thingish at the end. The movie is filmed in color, and the eponymous Color is basically a purplish pink, rather than a color that does not exist. Because, duh, you cannot film a color that does not exist. But I liked how as the story went on, the farm becomes more brightly colored. Grass becomes purple. Bright red flowers start blooming up the sides of trees, etc...
If you are a Lovecraft fan, and appreciate low-key horror films, you will like it.

QUOTE(Decrepit @ Feb 6 2020, 12:44 PM) This seems the most appropriate thread to report the passing actor Kirik Douglas, age 103.
Aw, how long a life he had! Wow, I remember him as being old when I was young! I've actually seen more of his son in films than him; though. I think the celebrity death I am dreading the most is Betty White. This post has been edited by mALX: Feb 6 2020, 07:35 PM

Younger folk seem to remember Douglas as Spartacus, if they remember him at all. I prefer Paths of Glory, set during WW1. Here's a short video from a series on the work of Stanley Kubrick. As such, it features Paths, but is not Douglas-Centric. Stanley Kubrick: Paths of Glory & Kirk Douglas Years (The Directors Series) - YouTube
