Writer/Director: Huan Vu. Cast: Ingo Heise, Michael Kausch, Marco Leibnitz, Erik Rastetter, Marah Schneider. Not many of H.P. Lovecraft's works are easily translatable to screen. Try as some might with a huge budget, others have gone low with varying degrees of success. The German Die Farbe (The Colour out of Space) fits right in as one of the better calibre products. Its DVD/Blu-ray release is terrific, since it comes with a small selection of extras, from the making of to the explanation of science in horror fiction. And the multi-subtitle track is perfect to tell viewers what the story is about. Readers familiar with Lovecraft's tale will find a respectful retooling of his work. Instead of Arkham, Massachusetts, which the original story takes place in, the foothills of the Swabian-Franconian Forest in Germany is explored. Purists may not like it, but the setting is just as good...
