12 Cult Classic Sci-Fis You Stupidly Ignored First Time
2. Colour Out Of Space
Although it only had its cinema run at the start of this year, The Colour Out Of Space has the makings of a beloved cult classic, and the chances are you didn't even know it existed. Judging by it recouping under $1 million from its $12 million budget, it's likely that a lot of people foolishly let this one slip by.
Adapted from H.P Lovecraft's short story The Colour Out Of Space, this neon-drenched cosmic horror comes to us from the producers of equally-insane horror Mandy and is the first film by director Richard Stanley since being thrown off the set of The Island Of Doctor Moreau in 1996 - look it up.
Starring Nicholas Cage in a full-on Nicholas Cage performance as alpaca farmer Nathan Gardner, his family's new way of rural living is interrupted when a reality-warping meteor falls onto their land. From herein, Colour Out Of Space only gets more insane and horrific as the madness ensues - an occult consultant was even hired for the film.
One of the craziest films in recent memory, Colour Out Of Space is set to be the start of a trilogy of Lovecraft adaptations from Stanley, and we can't wait.
