Details

Our first horror pick for Halloween season is an adaptation of a classic story by H.P. Lovecraft and a passion project by the director which was a long time in the making. Nic Cage stars. (h/t cinephile Charles)

We'll be in the Collaboration Room in the far right corner of Richard Tucker Library.

RUNTIME: 111 minutes

SYNOPSIS: After a meteorite lands in the front yard of their farm, Nathan Gardner and his family find themselves battling a mutant extraterrestrial organism that infects their minds and bodies, transforming their quiet rural life into a technicolor nightmare.

BLURBS:
"If I tell you that Nicolas Cage's eyeballs will turn into ultraviolet high-beams, then you'll know immediately if you're in or out." - Jeanette Catsoulis, The New York Times

"It's disorderly fun that sports a directorial personality distinct enough to make one grateful for Stanley's return." - Dennis Harvey, Variety

"Love it or loathe it, Stanley is trying to do something distinctively his own after all those years in the cold. His movie perhaps has the makings of a cult classic." - Cath Clarke, The Guardian
