Lovecraft’s short story The Colour Out of Space is both a superb example of science-fiction/horror and a challenge to future filmmakers; adapt it if you dare. The family exhibits some weird traits even before a foul-smelling meteorite lands in their yard. But after the family’s peace is shattered by a nighttime intruder from out of space, the fate of the alpacas is strictly secondary. Cellphones deliver not just static and dropped calls, but unearthly howls, as though a demon was on the line. 3.5 starsColor Out of Space opens Jan. 24 in Toronto, Kitchener, Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Kingston and Montreal, with other cities to follow.
