Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Smoreni Zmaj IMDb rating almost kept me away from this jewel. That would be a big mistake. First hour is mystery/drama with SF premise, and then in last 20 minutes it grows into good horror. In my opinion, few scenes with lousy effects should have been skipped and without them movie would be more convincing, but even this way this is the best Lovecraft adaptation I saw so far and one of the best movies in it's class, primarily because of excellent atmosphere it builds and succeeds to maintain on the level till the very end. This one definitely goes to my collection.7/10 (8,5/10 within the genre)

The_American_Caller This adaptation of Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space proves that adapting most of Lovecraft's work is just not feasible unless really done with utmost care.The horror in Lovecraft's story is completely contained within his writing style and as such cannot be easily translated to film.Especially when the film is so pedestrian and routine as this one, and leaves out significant elements of the story, or changes them, and/or updates it to a modern time period for the sake of budget. Just take one look at the "meteor" (like a weather balloon) and the "impact crater" (badly designed bulldozer scrape) and you'll see the budget restrictions.Practically everyone who has read this story and is a Lovecraft fan has imagined it as a film. The proper way to do it would be as what the HPLHS Films did for The Whisperer in Darkness, which would be B&W and set in the same time period as the story.And the use of B&W photography would be of prime significance since the actual "colour" from space is supposed to be a new type of color never before seen by human eyes.

callanvass An overly obsessed religious man (Claude Atkins) is trying to provide for his family by holding onto his farm, and make sure his family obeys his orders. An unknown object flies out of nowhere in their yard during a hectic storm, and things start changing for the worse. This is pretty trashy stuff on virtually no budget what so ever. Actor David Keith takes a break from the acting world to direct this one. How did he do? Not so good… I've seen a lot worse, believe me, but that doesn't mean this is a good horror film. It's incredibly cheap looking with many unlikable characters. The so called "Father" is a sanctimonious idiot who refuses to succumb to any type of reasoning. The brother is a fat pig, and the Mother is unsympathetically weak and naive. It's the real life sister and brother combo (who ironically play brother and sister in the movie as well) of Will & Amy Wheaton that manage to be likable. The gore is mostly consisted of lame gooey effects, and is more laughable than anything else. We do get a rather gruesome scene of a chicken pecking away at a girl. That's really about it. Will Wheaton shows off the talent that he brought to the table in Stand By Me, and manages to overcome such a crappy script. He wasn't great, but considering he had nothing to work with? I commend him. Claude Atkins's character is written as a religious nut who is pretentious, but I thought he was completely moronic. What type of idiot is adamant on drinking water, even if it's been heavily tampered?? He was just written so idiotically that I couldn't wait to see his character perish. Final Thoughts: It never bored me, but it's an incredibly stupid movie. The poorly written characters and the fact that it took everything seriously really does this one in. This could have been a great cheese fest, but it went the serious route. I can't recommend this one to you guys, unfortunately 3.5/10

Vomitron_G "The Curse" is hardly a stellar movie, but it provides some gross entertainment all the same. This film gained some recognition most likely because of names like Will Wheaton, Lucio Fulci and H.P. Lovecraft being attached to this production. In my country, this film was a bit more appropriately titled "The Farm", since that's the main location of the film anyway and some evil sh!t is going on there. So, a meteor crash lands nearby a farm. The thing melts, seeps into the ground and soon the water, the vegetables, the live stock and - naturally also - humans become infected with the alien substance. And that's where the movie provides us the most fun: with gross make-up effects of larva-infested blisters & mutations. And if you become infected, it won't take long before you'll start acting like a raving maniac. The film builds up to a satisfying climax; albeit fairly incomprehensible what happens to the farmhouse, it does provide a bit of spectacular entertainment. There was a time were I would have been more rigorous in judging this film, but now I can safely say die-hard B-horror movie lovers will sure have some fun with an outing like "The Curse".
