![]() ![]() ![]() This event isn’t shown in the story of the not so faithful to Lovecraft version – Die Monster Die! The Curse (1987) poster In the original story, which I recently reread, and in both the 2019 version and The Curse, the alien force, which falls outside the range of the visible spectrum, arrives on Earth in the form of a meteorite. Lovecraft would have also used the 1920s fascination with radium as the cause of such mutations for his story. Those horror or sci-fi elements also include an unseen alien force which causes plant and animal life to mutate. Die, Monster, Die! (1965) lobby card or quad poster Let’s also not forget a few plot elements in the film Annihilation (2018) are blended from Lovecraft’s story… including a meteorite which falls to Earth. ![]() There are a couple of other versions which I couldn’t get easy access to and they are Color from the Dark (2008) set in Italy and a German version called simply The Color which was made in 2010. There are three movies which I will look at based on this story and they are the British made Die, Monster, Die! (1965) – the commas in the title are apparently optional, The Curse (1987) and the latest version entitled H.P. Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space (2019) poster. ![]()
