Highly Disturbing....In A Good Way!
26 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a real Lovecraftian delight in the most weird and wonderful scifi horror mashup. A truly disturbing film with the grotesque body morphing elements of John Carpenters "The Thing" coupled with a menacing and highly charged time-warped atmosphere of dread, disgust and plain acid tripping weirdness! I loved the directors other movies especially Dust Devil and this movie has the same air of mystery and palpable horror interwoven in perfect symmetry!

The concept of a colour than cannot be seen by the human eye being a time-warping, shape shifting invasive alien life-form is just pure genius - sad to see some reviewers do not have a mind capable of expanding and appreciating genius writing that was Lovecraft or a movie that is truly new in concept; a veritable orgy of the visual and truly terrifying!

In short this is not for everyone but true Sci-fi buffs and horror fans alike will love this adaptation of HP Lovecraft's amazing short story and translates it very well indeed!
