It follows a land surveyor investigating a blasted heath in Arkham, Massachusetts. The Colour Out Of Space was a short story initially published in 1927 by Lovecraft.

Madness descends, alpacas abound – and questions are asked about what it means to adapt the work of an author with a racist past. A colour, unable to be classified or defined, has consumed the very thoughts of a family who have descended onto an ancestral land as a respite from the city.

Stanley takes the 19th-century work, one written with scientific detachment, and creates an intensely emotional narrative fit for 21st-century horror cinema. After a 10-year hiatus, director Richard Stanley returns with Color Out Of Space, a technicolor nightmare-scape based on a short story by horror author HP Lovecraft.
