Annie Riordan has a new short review-ette of a screener DVD for a German film which the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society is set to distribute in the USA. It’s the German film Die Farbe (The Color, dir. Huan Vu) — feature-length adapation of Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space”, relocated to the gloom of the German forests in 1975. Apparently it’s also coming the big screen at the Lovecraft Film Festival later this year.

“Die Farbe is subtle in its mounting horror, nurturing a dark dread deep in your bowels with every shot. All of the best and most stomach-turningly distressing films I’ve ever seen have come out of Germany: M, The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari, The White Ribbon, and now this one.”
