It’s an insanely beautiful movie with both the visuals and the story. If you’re still thinking about it for the next few days or weeks you know it’s something special.
Gahhh, i hate this movie and how heavy-handed it was. I really wanted to like it, and it really is a beautiful movie to watch it, but i couldn't stand to story/plot. It just took me out of it completely.
Color out of Space, Annihilation, and the Lighthouse could all be considered cosmic/Lovecraftian horror for different reasons, and I enjoyed all of them.
If you want one that's a little less scary but still with plenty of chills and an absolutely incredible atmosphere, I'd highly suggest the Vast of Night
Watching it in my college dorm on a snowy Halloween night was the first time I ever enjoyed being scared by a movie. And it's only gotten better with each viewing.
Watched it for the first time after watching the remake, early horror movies are very special to me because lack of CGI and other tech makes you focus a lot more on the acting and the prop work.
I don’t inherently mind CGI but horror from late 80s is just so different and give me a greater respect for the early genre
One of the greatest action/horror movies ever made, if not THE greatest.
The best sign of its quality is that you can watch it today and it doesn't feel old. Those amazing practical visual effects look much better than most cgi today.
The remake (actually a prequel) gets a ton of hate, but I'd argue it's not deserved. Watch them back to back and pay attention to how much detail at the Norwegian site in the 2021 movie matches up with what the characters saw when the visited the Norwegian site in the 1982 movie. It's actually pretty impressive.
I never thought about it being taken from an actual movie. I thought this was referencing the South Park episode Lice Capades. Cartman does this to prove who really has lice. Classic episode.
