It took seed...now it needs to feed.

Overview

Nathan Hayes is a religious man trying to hold onto his farm and keep his family in line. A real estate developer is trying to buy most of the farm property in the area, including Mr. Hayes’ family farm, in the hope that the Tennesse Valley Authority will choose the town for the site of a new dam and recreational area. The night of a terrible storm, an unidentified, glowing object crashes on the Hayes farm and with it comes a horrible curse for the family and other members of the community.

A review by Sierbahnn
Written by Sierbahnn on 2026-05-01
Although it is not mentioned by name, this is quite clearly The Color out of Space. And Lovecraft is even listed as one of the writers. This is not a bad take on that story, and it makes it a great deal more human than it could have been. I think the casting is quite good, and the direction is clearly very competent. Some of the effects look a bit too watery for my taste, but I think that it came across as unsettling enough. The movie does have its issues, but I believe that this is one of the better takes on this material, and it does make itself very creepy, which is lovely to see.
