How it feels

A family moves to a remote farmhouse where a meteorite crashes nearby and begins to corrupt the land, animals, and people. The strange glowing color spreads and distorts reality as the father becomes increasingly erratic.

What happens

Color Out of Space is a 2019 American science fiction Lovecraftian horror film directed and co-written by Richard Stanley, based on the short story "The Colour Out of Space" by H. P. Lovecraft. It stars Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson, Elliot Knight, Madeleine Arthur, Brendan Meyer, Q'orianka Kilcher and Tommy Chong. This is Stanley's first feature film since his firing from The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). According to Stanley, it is the first film in a trilogy of Lovecraft adaptations, which he hopes to continue with an adaptation of "The Dunwich Horror". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
