10 Future Cult Classic Movies You Need To See

3. Color Out Of Space

Though there are countless definitions of what qualifies a film as being cult, one common factor that’s often agreed on is excess. It can be excessively stylish, excessively violent, or just excessively weird. And the neon-drenched spectacle that is Color Out of Space is all of the above and more.

The directorial comeback from Richard Stanley after the catastrophic production of The Island Of Dr. Moreau, this adaptation of H.P Lovecraft’s short story The Colour Out Of Space sees Nicholas Cage in a wildly unhinged performance as Nathan Gardner, who moves his family to an isolated farmhouse on the outskirts of the fictional town of Arkham to become an alpaca farmer.

But when a mysterious meteor crashes on their land in the middle of the night, coating their surroundings in dazzling tones of purple, strange anomalies start to occur as the colour begins to alter the world around them in sinister ways.

Packed with stellar cinematography elevated by a monumental score by Colin Stetson and brimming with practical gore effects equal parts weird and disturbing, Color Out Of Space is the very definition of phantasmagoric, an adjective reserved for only the greatest cult classics.
