Description
Richard Stanley, visionary director of horror classics Hardware and Dust Devil makes a triumphant return with this dazzling adaption of HP Lovecraft's otherwordly tale
Determined to escape the relentless bustle of big city living, Nathan Gardner (Nicolas Cage) relocates his family to the remote New England farm where he was raised. Still coming to terms with recent personal hardships, the Gardners are looking forward to a new, happier chapter in life. But their plans are abruptly interrupted when a meteor crash lands on their property, bringing with it a mysterious alien force that infects and mutates first the land, and then the people it comes into contact with.
His first narrative feature for 27 years, Richard Stanley’s slick, stylish and suitably perverse interpretation of Lovecraft’s notoriously ‘unfilmable’ cosmic philosophies is a thrilling combination of absorbing family drama and outré sci-fi madness. Good things really do come to those who wait.
