Color Out of Space : H.P Lovecraft Month: Deusdaecon Reviews

[@deusdeaconReviews]

This video was scripted, filmed and edited before the allegations of abuse perpetrated by the director Richard Stanley came to light. This video does not condone, endorse or accept the actions of the director, and any praise you may hear in the video is not an absolution or acceptance for the director's alleged actions. Neither this movie nor this review are tools to be used to lessen, minimize or extenuate the severity of these allegations.

[@thomasswiftsr.4914]

I read that the SpectreVision production company has dropped Richard Stanley because of these allegations, which is not surprising. I think this likely kills any future plans for a new "Dunwich Horror" film, let alone a third movie. After the failed plans of del Toro's "At the Mountains of Madness", this is yet another blow to the hopes of fans for high-quality Lovecraftian films in the foreseeable future.

[@gregcox5577]

Meh, still a good movie and a great review.

[@markharrison6498]

You’re a good egg. Thank you for not being a h8ful person like most popular reviewers

[@fujifilm5127]

another fun fact about Robert E Howard. he helped a lot with Lovecraft's Xenophobia, in letter correspondences he described cultures he was researching. that was the difference between Howard and Lovecraft, Lovecraft was afraid of the unknown, Howard embraced it and celebrated it.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

It does annoy me that i keep seeing listed as a “continuity error”

[@cthulhluftagn3812]

@@deusdeaconReviews it's like they totally missed the time warping plot line

[@xxJETSETxx]

I had always assumed the "blasted heath" would be dark, and black, like charcoal or burnt wood. Seeing being depicted in white was VERY clever, I think. Depending on weather you're using additive or subtractive colours, 'white' is either the presence of ALL, or complete ABSENCE of colour. There's certainly something to be said about the visuals of going from an "imaginary" colour to either a complete saturation / lack of colour, even beyond the atomic imagery.

[@kinagrill]

Lack of color but full starkness of tone.

[@riphopfer5816]

Well… I always envisioned it as grey, like volcanic ash, as that was how Lovecraft described all of the “affected“ life forms. They would turn grey and lose their integrity. As a matter of fact it did always remind me of the damage done at the genetic level by high levels of ionising radiation. I.e., your skin would just stop being skin and start falling off, because the cells could no longer maintain the integrity of their membranes. I imagined this phenomenon happening simultaneously all throughout every biological system of all life in the region, resulting in a roughly circular region - with the well as it centre - consisting of entirely discorporate matter, sucked dry of all organic or life-giving compounds, leaving nought but alkali salts. I guess another way to put it would be to say that it looked like a piece of the surface of the moon had been transplanted into the middle of a lush and fertile region of upper New England, as there is no organic material in lunar soil.

[@Lestat21500]

This was definitely the best lovecraftian inspired movie I've seen. I certianly hope the director gets what he wants and the trilogy gets made and executed properly like this movie.

[@PTHYTQV]

Hm, i dont know, can "In the mouth of madness" be concidered lovecraft inspired?

[@andrejaeckle9828]

@@PTHYTQV Of course!

[@kellinwinslow1988]

It's a good Lovecraft movie. Not really inspired by since it's an adaption. The best inspired by would be films like Alien,The Thing and The Mouth Of Madness.

[@witchfixpodcast2997]

Interestingly the symbol on Lavinia's forehead at the end of the movie is the rune 'Othel' and runes are used a lot by wiccans and pagans alike as a magical alphabet. In its upright position Othel 'indicates one who is consumed by an ideal or vision' or someone 'inspired by the past' (quoted from The Runes by Lisa Pechel). Which is cool as she is literally giving Ward a vision, and experiencing one herself. It also represents possessions and things money can buy 'usually land or a building' which connects to the fact that it's the land being effected, and the house that is then taken. And also, could literally be a reference to her being 'possessed' by the colour. With regards to her use of the Necromicon as a non-fiction book of magical spells/symbols, I have come across one or two people in the pagan community who do believe in its lore, treating it as similar to the Key of Solomon. Sounds silly, but yeah, it happens.

[@Legather]

Wrote this elsewhere but I'll add it here too, her carving 'solve' on her right hand is possibly a reference to Eliphas Levi's Baphomet which has 'solve' on its right arm and 'coagula' on it's left which are terms apparently used in alchemy for taking apart and conjoining which we obviously see in the film. I guess it hints not only at her desperation to try anything for aid but also the influence the colour has. Also regarding the Necronomicon, obviously for us the Simon Necronomicon is a real thing but in universe after so many years perhaps there are bastardised mass market reprints of bits of the 'real' Necronomicon. While people can't take it out of the libraries that hold copies those libraries do let people in to read them, perhaps someone with malicious intent or just enterprising might decide to print stuff they recall and pad it out with other assorted occult knowledge

[@lexh.5225]

So glad you looked at this, I love the movie but you really picked up on some symbolism that I completely missed!

[@HigHrvatski]

That's what he does

[@medicaoctavia8002]

The Mayans... Are still around. The civilization collapsed, but there are still Mayans and speakers of Mayan language. It’s an interesting reference, though I think it’s more to show that Nathan has no clue what he’s doing.

[@Kitsaplorax]

Mayan culture still exists as do their priests. There was a discussion of this in a documentary of decoding Mayan glyphs.

[@kevinboudreaux7860]

For he knows the gate. He is the gate. He is the gate and it’s key. Past, present and Future are all one within him. An Outer God of unfathomable knowledge. He is mighty Yog Sothoth, the Opener of the Way. Lavinia called out to the Cosmos, but didn’t know who would hear her call. She also did it twice, once with a generic ritual and once with blood rituals.

Well she did get want she wanted in the end . Way out of the farm

[@drmonroej4]

I actually yelled “The Goggles Do Nothing!” at that scene. 😆

[@apvanlaan]

Regarding the symbols Louvenia carves on her hand and forehead, the one on her forehead resembles (very closely) the norse rune Othala. Some of the ones on her hand could also be variations of runes as well, specifically Ingwaz and possible Algiz

[@Legather]

I believe the words she carves on her hands are in reference to the words you commonly see on Eliphas Levi's Baphomet, 'solve' and 'coagula' which are apparently related to alchemy. I don't think we see her carve 'coagula' but carving 'solve' on her right hand would be in line with the Baphomet image.

[@Mad_Oph]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the quote on the wall of Benny's room "No Flesh Shall Be Spared" is likely a reference to a movie called Hardware that Stanley directed in 1990, and was also the title of a 2009 documentary, where Stanley is credited as himself. Excellent review for (my opinion, at least) one of the greatest Lovecraft adaptations ever put to screen.

The Simon Necronomicon is an all Sumerian based book with serious padding of a dramatic Lovecraftian sort. (I slightly knew the typist through mutual friends. She poured salt over her typewriter as she worked.) Oddly there are no banishings, only calling spells in the book. Lavinia should have invested in a better grimoire.

[@ryandowney8743]

Lavinia is such a weird name, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Especially since the rest of the family has normal modern sounding names. And being a Lovecraft fan, Lavinia sticks out even more because it's a singular name even in his mythology. What would have been interesting is if she had survived the movie but the color leaving had made her an albino. Or at least bleached her skin similar to how it bleaches the earth. And had driven her mad. Then she could become Lavinia Whately in the next movie. GImmicky, yes. But a way to tie the trilogy together by having one character lead to the next movie.

[@tuskinekinase]

Since the Color messes with time and space, she could have indeed been transported into the Whateley household many years before to become "the twisted albino". And given how you mentioned her albinism could be seen as similar to the blasted earth, it wouldn't be out of place at all!

[@CommadoreGothnogDragonheart]

@@tuskinekinase That's my thinking. Either Lavinia mysteriously shows up in nearby Dunwich and draws the attention of old man Whateley, or he might even retrieve her from whatever dimension she landed in.

[@chakatBombshell]

This was always my favorite Lovecraft story because it was always a great way to show a truly alien lifeform and it was so amazing for its mutations and the mental degradation making it seem like it is something that even if you survive will change you forever. (which actually seems like its a perfect reason for the people going mad in modern day instead of the Lovecraft troupe of going nuts after only a few traumas or weird things.) I don't mind her being named Lavinia, more than one person can have that name.

Is also one of those staining, fugitive pigments.

I really like your idea of each person's presentation being what they bring to the color, rather than what the color brings to them. I had the same thought while watching, as Cage's character becomes his father around the presence, the mother pushes more to prove she is useful/productive which was also set up, the stoner son finds himself mostly impacted by losing time, the goth/wiccan daughter with tattooed marks on her skin becomes the stereotype common people assume wiccans/goths are by cutting herself up with those same marks, and the young child that always wants his mommy becomes literally fused to his mommy. Everyone becomes an almost parody level extreme version of the traits set up at the start.

At 49:51 if you look at the tree that is behind the Color smoke column, it heavily resembles the Elder sign. The fact all other trees in the scene have a fair amount of leaves except that one makes me think it's an intention addition.

I’m willing to and frequently get a bit out there with theorising but, thats quite a stretch, genuinely cant see anything

[@ArtbyDanielP]

@@deusdeaconReviews It might be me putting my own mental spin on it and thinking too much on it. Mainly it's the way the main part of the tree goes up, then all the branches are also curved upwards on either. I know that is a general tree thing to do, but it's location behind the Color, how the branches are highlighted by the daytime sky, and quick glance made me think it could be an almost subliminal thing for viewers. Should also mention, a great review and break down.

If you haven’t yet, you should give Annihilation (2018) a look. I saw it just after watching Colour Out of Space.

She may be Wiccan but that spell she's doing at the start is ceremonial magick of the Golden Dawn tradition which had roots in Rosecrucianism and Freemasonry. It is the Western Hermetic tradition.

Well she also uses a paperback necronomicon i dont think anyone is surprised her “magic” is all over the place.

[@t.h.2906]

Absolutely, I was just pumped I recognized what she was saying. It was a "I know the answer teacher!" moment haha.

I didn’t know this film was part of a planned trilogy until I saw this. Can’t wait for Dunwich.

Kind of a weird thought I had but I wonder if some of these entities that we can't comprehend also can't really comprehend us.
