Trivia
The weather report playing on the television while Lavinia is washing dishes mentions Arkham, along with Innsmouth, Dunwich, and Kingsport. All these settings are part of different H.P. Lovecraft stories. In addition, Lavinia questions Benny about a former girlfriend from Aylesbury. It's another location that too belongs to Lovecraft's universe.

Goofs
Ward Phillips states that "Most meteorite disintegrate in the atmosphere." This isn't correct. A meteorite, by definition, is a rock from space that impacts the Earth's surface. A rock that burns up in the atmosphere without reaching the surface is a meteor. And a rock randomly drifting through space is a meteoroid.

Quotes
Ezra: [recording] Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Cold and wet. But it burns. Sucking the life out of everything. It came down in the rock. It lives in the well. It grew down there. Poisoning everything. Changing everything. Into something like the world it came from. Into what it knows. We all know it's coming, but we can't get away. It's got everything that lives. They all drunk the water. It got strong. Fed itself on them. It came from the stars... where things ain't like they are here. It's just a color. But it burns. It sucks, and it burns. It burns.

A visually stunning horror classic!

Color out of space literally blew up my mind. I wasn't expecting any thing like that. The plot is very basic yet terrifying and sureal. Based on Lovercraft's short story, its about The Gardner family, who have lately left the citylife for a more bucolic life in a remote property are the prime subject of the movie and after a meteroite lands in their farm, the family find themselves battling a mutant organism that infects their minds and bodies, transforming their quiet rural life into a nightmare.

Director Richard Stanley who returns to the cinema after a really long time has made almost a classic this time. The movie did start slow but finds its pace as the story progresses. He has utilized the visual effects so well, I was heavily impressed.

Nicolas cage was simply fantastic in the movie and he ensures there isn't a dull moment when he is on screen. Joely Richardson looks convincing.

I admit the movie is very very weird and totally on a different storyline but it's really enjoyable.
