Synopsis An unnamed narrator journeys to the fictitious community of Arkham, Massachusetts, and investigates a localism known as the blasted hearth. What is the Color Out of Space It was just a color, out of space. Seeking to create a truly alien life form, he drew inspiration from numerous fiction and nonfiction sources. Nicolas Cage stars with Joely Richardson.

Lovecraft short story, the 2019 horror film is directed by Richard Stanely (Hardware).
