Knew this was going to happen. I seem to have triggered some of you in the comments section by passionately arguing my points and disagreeing with my friends here. I think many of you guys would perfer if I just didnt react at all to their inverse opinions and instead reply very quietly and without face expressions, "I disagree respectfully. I didnt see it that way." I think some of it is me playing it up for camera and entertainments sake so you guys can participate in a vs. Who is right thing. But I wont do that anymore. From this point on I'll just let's everyone fully explain their positions and simply say I disagree. All within reason, often I'll still need to cut discussion short to avoid 2 hour reviews which we dont want to get into, so you guys can continue to complain about me cutting people off if you like but, no more "cringey" trying to convince my friends to like it more. Or playing up a versus angle. We will make this show as clean, sanitary, and respectful as possible so no ones feelings can be hurt watching us argue anymore. Basically no more arguements as our audience cant handle it.
i am sure you are sarcastic, but please dont, this was great to watch. Arguing is part of the fun.
I can handle this and much more. Ignore the comments.
ignore them they're just being whiny losers, the majority likes it when you argue.
if they want super civilised and professional reviews then they can go elsewhere.
don't ever bend the knee to the minority.
"looks like i have triggered the incels, muting this"
Joe you’ll never please everyone. Keep doing what you’re doing. You bring the energy, Alex brings the rationality, OJ brings the humour. It’s a good mix, no need to mess with a good thing. Who cares what people say, you’re Angry fucking Joe.
No, she said, "It won't let us leave." It's not that she didn't want to leave, but that she realized if she tried, it would lash out.
Wanting the elder gods to follow rules, Alex already lost the game.
more like the writers to follow some rules
Stupid anime nerd quote
human motives on an incomprehensible being of greater realms? lol
@@jamesesparza6893 The writers did. They followed the source materials rules. There are none.
@@TeiwazTheGoat there are none? This is based off of an RPG game for the longest time all that existed with pen paper in rules.
20:20 The hydrologist never drank the water FYI Alex. Tommy Chong said it smelled funny and he put it up to his nose to smell it and he said it had no odor to it, but he never once drank any water.
And it happened before the meteor sank in.
I agree I think either they where to drunk or on whatever. But they really didn’t get the movie. I really wish they watch the movie again all sober and fully paying attention . It’s not the best movie ever but its deep and very subtle in its subject matter
I wonder if Alex has read or listened to the original story?
I mean they are a dysfunctional family... and they have already been drinking the water for at least a few days by the time shit really begins to ramp up. They have the color within them already early on but we dun really understand it's danger until LATER and by then some in the audience might have forgotten the fact she's literally been drinking diluted other-dimensional color-entity that twists and mutates just by being near it... and tends to make it 'better' and more adapted to survival. Just recall the mother and son fusion thing... initially it's just a twitching mutant-creatures that can barely move. later in the attic, it's been further affected to the point of moving around EFFECTIVELY.
The point of the girl going from, "got to get out of here," to, "I'm not going anywhere," is that she became one with that consciousness along with her family. That wasn't just accidental bad dialog. LoL
of course not it was bad dialogue that was on purpose.
I saw it more as her losing all hope as she's got her dad's body there.
I saw it as she fully ascended to madness after everything that had happend, and that the colour had affected her so much that she became so crazy and decided to just stay, atleast my point of view
Everyone's got a breaking point when confronted with Eldritch horrors beyond comprehension. Tommy Chong's character has a line of dialogue in the story essentially saying "there's something about it that draws you in. Keeps you here." I think you might get scraps of it in that final scene with his corpse
Not bad dialogue....just her mental consciousness going in and out
its actually great when they disagree on this show. Its entertaining.
Yeah, i dont get why people hate on alex for not liking or disagreeing, he at least tries to critic the movie in different ways, he is very objective. Its way more entertaining to watch an actual discussion and different perspectives.
@@egirlcafemanager7119 when he likes something is quite unusual but he explains why
@@egirlcafemanager7119 I think it's bc he's ALWAYS negative. But I still like him on this since I think AJ can b a little TOO positive & Alex help to balance that.
Its waaaayyyy better than before where AJ downright shuts them down whenever they disagree with him
@@RnBDynamite the budget was $12 million. Come on. Be reasonable RnB. $12 million
Spoiler : hydrologist never drinks the water, he sniffs it. He refused every time.
absolutely true
ytubeanon yeah that part in the spoiler section irked me since in both of my viewings of the movie I knew he didn’t drink any water. He comments on the rust possibility but he is very on edge about the water .
on a side note one thing that made me chuckle was that the only person investigating the meteorite was a Hydrologist.
James Esparza Lol yeah it was hilarious. Never had a hydrologist as the main scientist in any movie I have seen.
@@rykersixx I was just expecting him to say something like, "Well you need a geologist or an astronomer or anyone else who deals with rocks and not the exact opposite."
I just saw the movie he doesn’t drink the water 😅 come on man
I think he drank something Ezra gave him that was make with the water
But did he use ice, tell me that? LOL
Yeah, the movie went out of it's way to let you know he didn't to the point where he was even telling everyone else not to drink it as well. I mean, the dudes a hydrologist after all. Don't know how much more clear it could've been.
The daughters spell she cast in the beginning worked, the whole movie is a result of her messing with the Necrnomicon
Yup. That's why the color thing smelled like burnt hair. Also, the thing from Out of Space was cosmic cancer (tumor) to the Earth. That's why she sacrificed herself to stop it at the end. She let the sunlight through and it killed all the color abominations.
@@UltimateEnd0 The hair smell makes alot of sense now. So she conjured all the events that happened? Damn, the whole time I figured it was all just a coincidence.
You can choose to interpret it that way. I believe it was all coincidence. The color didn't come because it was called. The Gardner's happened to be where it landed. It's an entity that acts for itself. The farm was just food. Then it left when it had finished its meal. That's what makes Lovecraft terrifying, the knowledge of how small and insignificant you are when compared to true cosmic forces. The color likely didn't care about the difference between the mother and son it fused together and the mass of screaming alpaca. It's beyond us and beyond anything Lavinia could have conjured without a much more elaborate and horrific ritual
@@austinwitham109 I believe you are absolutely right.
@@UltimateEnd0 She didn't stop it. It came, it fed, it left. It also left some of itself behind as the bug at the end shows.
There was no sunlight. That was the Colour leaving.
Lavinia didn't use the necronomicon in her ritual at the start, she said it was too dark.
I love when they argue with eachother because they're so passionate, especially AJ lol
Then watch their Tomb raider review
Xenogenesis Zumba movie or game ?
Exactly , it's why I've always watched this show!!!
Lovecraft and Nic Cage... Match made in R'lyeh.

@@Ash0512 Yeah, but it's also stolen from the headline of an article that was posted earlier today.
@@Acre2 'scuse me?
@@snark4611 ars Technica
I didn't see this one yet but I saw the 80s version with will weathon the curse.
"It's got lovecraftian". I hope so since Lovecraft wrote the source.
@Brent Thomson Personnally I like The Thing on the Doorstep or Shadow over Innsmouth.
This guy knows Lovecraft!!! , See? No one cares.
@@BluntStop The thousand injuries of Blunt Stop I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
The Colour Out of Space might not be my favorite one of Lovecraft's stories, but it is definitely among the best. Its just so unique and gets so make RIGHT. I was legitimately disturbed while reading it, and that's not something that comes easily with me.
@@BluntStop I even know what Lovecraft named his cat...
I just finished watching this movie, and it was fantastic. If you have not, please watch it, it's very worth it. I took my friends who are not into all of this weird horror and they were blown away with what they saw. However, I would like to point out some things Alex criticized about this movie that he is wrong about (SPOILERS):
1. The narrator never drank the water, he was about to but he never took a sip. I dont know why Alex thinks he did, nobody who was with me saw him drink the water.
2. The sister prayed to otherworldly beings to get herself out of there, and in the end of the movie, her wish does get granted as the color does teleport her out of the farm (though it's to the other planet). Staying true to lovecraft's stories, its a sort of "be careful what you wish for" kind of deal when doing these rituals, where your wish may be granted but not with what you are hoping for because these beings are indifferent to our needs and wants. And throughout the whole movie she does seem to be protected by what she did since the mother creature took very long to eat her when she had the chance, allowing her to be saved in time. Basically, she did have some sort of protection throughout the movie, which is why she survived and ultimately had her wish "granted."
Alex is wrong in both of his points against this movie, and it's fine if he did not like the movie as much as joe did, but the "problems" that he pointed out that brought down his score are simply things he just failed to realize. I agree with Joe's rating and I would rate this movie at least an 8/10. I hope this movie does well enough so we could see more lovecraft adaptations in the future.
I think Alex also marked it down for the poor interactions with the family and the pacing (should've had more craziness earlier on) . I agree with the family dynamic being off but thought the pacing was on point
@@Cyba_IT I think the weird relationships and pacing between the family were intentional. They were a family in financial and emotional trouble, as we clearly saw in their interactions, also the mom being in recovery from cancer, the whole alpaca breeding deal and the "family dinner" scene. This was clearly not a happy, stable and careless family, they had some serious struggles and problems. The cosmic creatures and the color out of space don't care about any of that though, and I think this disconnection between the human problems human beings have and these otherworldly events was portrayed very well.
Loved this. I agree with an 8 is a good score. Alex was irking me with these important and cool details.
Was the mom monster actually trying to eat her tho? It appeared to me more like it was trying to communicate into the girls face. It didn't throw her around, didnt bite her or start ripping into her, just hovered above her screaming into her face.
It was not an angry 'creature' the family were just collateral damage from a multi dimensional peg stuck in a square hole.
Also it seemed like they were all influenced just from the color itself, even without drinking the water. The dog never adjusted either, man's best friend. The prevalence of the triangle, the all seeing eye. Lots to ponder on. Very well done film, Bravo.
I have a greater respect for Joe after seeing his enthusiasm for a Lovecraft film.
You guys read the comments? If so then hopefully you guys see this. Just know I appreciate all the hard work y'all do and I'm a huge supporter. Much love❤
For context, shark boy and lavagirl was a 35 million dollar budget
AJ is right this movie was amazing. It’s creepy AF. It’s like watching what a bad dream feels like.
Read the original story if you haven't. Lovecraft is by far the best horror writer.
Reminded me of The Thing ...John Carpenter's version...
@@Buckeye_4_Life_ yes, and also Annihilation.
not to be one of those "the book its better than the movie" people, but the book its amazing nad like most things lovecraft its a slow burn into madness, the movie its just lame as fuck, and a terrible adaptation, i wouldnt even say it was an adaptation and more of a movie that took some plot points from lovecraft and the thing and threw them in a pot to see what came out, what came out was a horrible movie, made worse by fucing nick cage, the girl was a good actress tho.
memo austin The movie was great. But wasn’t exactly true to form for lovecrafts brand of writing. In the book there was no Thing mutations, other that the corpses shriving up and glowing the color. It also takes away my favorite moment, when the neighbor goes to check up on the father and finds the wife in the attic, he describes it in a way that leaves it up to the imagination of what her corpse looks like, all he tells us is the room sticks and what he sees fills him with terror, so much that he closes and locks the door and vows never to speak of what he saw ever again to anyone.
But despite that I liked it, it kept true to many themes.
We need an "Alex" in our life - that one friend who's brutally honest and keep ourselves in check. Then we have an "OJ" - the funny friend that sees the comedy in everything. Then we have our own self (and mostly the angry part of our self) being the fanboy and enthusiastically angry - Joe Vargas.
I like the video guys! Hahahaha!
I'm an Alex. No one likes me.
@@tydendurler9574 I think that you just believe yourself to be an Alex, as you most likely also think you're fun at parties.
@@improbable6129 no
@@improbable6129 he just said no likes him, so why would he think he's fun at parties?
I do find bits of myself in these three
I like alex because he is brutally honest.
I feel like one of the reasons why I love these reviews so much is because we get the 3 separate criticisms because Joe tends to just fanboy out other Joe fanboys out as well but hes a little bit more critical and Alex will just tear something apart I love all 3 of them.
Alex is a movie snob with unrealistic expectations. Almost no movie is good enough for him and he’s not impressed by anything.
Except he gets his facts wrong mere hours after seeing a film. Dude is awful
i agree i always like honesty over not havign the balls to say what he or she thinks and hide the truths. AJ i like cus when he is fan boying over a game or movie i kinda sometime gets cut up in it, then we have OJ who is can be honest but also become a fan boy over it and sometimes not liking a movie that Joe love and then we have ALex who is like "yeah this movie is bad." The more Alex is in Joe the more i like him.
hes honest but also a bit cynical , might call it realism but what the fuck is real about a movie when everyone interprets them in their heads
The Hydrologist actually didnt drink any of the water. He smelled it and was from the get go saying it should be drank.
I loved this movie. Lovecraft stories seldom get adapted because of the concept. Most boring horror movies follow a very stale formula of figure out the monster or entity, figure out how to stop it, and execute. Lovecraft cosmic horror is that there are things in the universe that are so beyond your comprehension that they will drive you to complete madness. The good guys don't always win, and that is what is supposed to frighten you. The fact that there is no control over the situation. Few directors ever even grasp this concept, nor do these films ever succeed. The closest has been John Carpenter with The Thing, In The Mouth of Madness, and Prince of Darkness. Those movies are great, but all of them flopped. Director Richard Stanley hit the Lovecraft concept out of the park with this one. Stanley also directed Hardware, one of my favorite Cyberpunk movies ever made. He is very capable of showing the audience a lot with a very low budget. Like many talented indie directors, the hollywood machine chewed him up and spat him out, as he was fired from the atrocious Island of Doctor Moreau.
I loved this movie a lot. It's the first horror movie I've seen this year that didn't absolutely suck. Lovecraft horror is about what your not supposed to know, and what your not supposed to see. That human beings are far less significant in this universe than they think they are. It's not about stopping the monster and winning. Lovecraft is not for everyone.
Alex, and Other Joe represent those of a large population who don't like that concept, which is why this movie didn't get a mainstream release, and also why we don't get more Lovecraft horror movies. This is not meant as a dig, it's just me calling it for what it is. I hope Richard Stanley makes more movies like this!
It's bull about it being hard to adapt lovecraft's work. Ok maybe it's gotten easier in the last few decades but the dunwhich horror had the potential to be a classic.
Well said , I agree with most of your take on Lovecraft and this film and Richard Stanley.
I agree mate. Try Event Horizon, Life, and The Mist if you havent already. If you're into series too try True detective season 1 and HBO's the Outsider.
Its so hard to find well made Lovecraftian movies or any movie about cosmic horror. This was a pleasant and unexpected surprised. Good news, the director confirmed this is part of a trilogy of HP Lovecraft adaptations. The Dunwich Horror i think will be one of the adaptations.
It was sooooooooooo bad like laughably bad
I disagree with your take. I live Lovecraft and hated this movie. I hated it not because I didn't understand it or what makes Lovecraft awesome but rather because the director is a shitty director, the acting atrocious and the dialogue abysmal. Cage is a complete embarrassment in this movie.
I thought it was some of the best lovecraft transitioned to film Iv ever seen. They captured the descent into madness perfectly
If you liked this, I would highly recommend you check out "The Whisperer in Darkness" adaptation by the HP Lovecraft historical society. It takes some liberties with the ending, but its done in the style of the 1930s universal horror films, and its also a really great adaptation.
@@baysideplace9194 Nice suggestion just watched the trailer love the style its gone for. Will definitely be cheaking this one out, cheers mate!
Same! It captured so many good aspects of lovecraftian tales!
Worst movie I've ever seen. I guess I just don't get it. It was straight up poor in every single sense.
AJ seems like a great guy but he should let his friends have their own opinions 🤦♂️

@@Prime209z he has improved over the years, for sure. not enough but he's making progress

As an avid Lovecraft and Nic Cage camp fan this movie really hit the spot for me, it was amazing.
Alex is gonna punch you soon Joe. Let him have his opinion and stop being so argumentative
Joe is just too hyped up after many movies he watches. Its like with children after a rollercoaster ride. And even if I enjoy his(their) movie reviews, Joe tends to come of a little bit opinionated. I think throughout this series they all made great points on the movies they watched and proofed that all their opinions are valid and that they all know a bit about movies in general. And Joe should not think of himself as one of those deep movie buffs who discus the philosophy behind Tharkovski, Bergmann or Fellini movies or the directorial qualities of Jodorowsky compared to Pasolini. He is just not the type, but you do not have to be to enjoy and talk about movies, just stay on the ground...
Alex’s opinion is usually trash.
@Cosmic Blunder ALOT
You can't tell me that people never get offended by opinions. Try saying that the last of us was one of the worst playstation games ever made. (Really think that) People will come for you.
@@unfinishedsentenc5308 why would you allow somebody else to offend you with that?
- If they say it's a bad game then maybe it's not for them or they didn't understand it. To each their own.
- If they say it's one of the worst, it just means they have no culture about gaming on that platform.
Either way you win already. From your point of view it's their loss, not your.
If you get offended it means you want to get offended, and sooner or later you will.
"The Sound of of Space"
Now this is a concept I'd really love a competent writer, director, and sound designer explore. A strange being that is perceived only by the strange sounds it makes.
They don't even need special effects to show negative impact of meteor on people. Just allow Nic Cage to be himself.
I loved how alot of times Nicolas cage sounded and acted just like trump 😂
I frankly like when you guys disagree like this and I wish more reviews were like this and love all reviews with Alex just because he disagrees but not because he wants to be a contrarian he disagrees from a place of sincere criticism it is never malicious and I have no problem with Angry Joe showing his enthusiasm when he loves a film cause anybody who loves films from his heart of hearts goes to see movies to experience that to see Alex and Joe duke it out from their different juxtaposing positions is great and Other Joe mostly being in the middle is great for those who aren't sure who they resonate more with cause OJ is always a good middle ground for when you don't know who you agree with more you guys are great the way you review movies is great AJ just needs to chill a little bit more when he hears an opinion that is opposite from his that is all keep doing what you doing guys as for me I'm going to check this out cause based on everything I heard it sounds like my kind of movie even with the negative stuff remember we love things in this world not just for the good things about them but for their negative traits as well

@@SolantisAI keep seeing that comment over and over. He’s not acting angry. He’s acting like he needs to have absolute control. Which isn’t the same thing. The show should be called Single Minded Joe and friends.

2. You should report on the trade deal on AJ News. It doesn’t cover board games.
AJ, just let them have THEIR OWN opinions sometimes. Not everyone is going to see things in your perspective, that's the point of having three perspectives. You've been getting better, but we want to hear all sides from three different minded people.

I think the Lovecraft stories would work well as an hour long anthology tv series in the period setting, most of them are pretty short and the connected elements could be played with. I really enjoyed this though, can't wait for the Dunwich Horror.
Hell yeah something pass the black mirror’s torch
John Cleave you need a job in Hollywood

At the mountain of maddness is my next pick!
@@thefakeJordan well the makers of this film said they were going to do three lovecraft adaptations and I am assuming they introduced stuff like the necrowhatsitcalled to build up the lovecraft universe these three films are going to be set in.
Hey @AngryJoeShow, I'm glad you got around to watching this movie, and especially that you also liked it so much! It's a shame it wasn't marketed better and available in more theaters. I can see where OJ and Alex were coming from with some of their complaints, but I think a second viewing really helps to clear up a lot of those (in my case, the first time I saw it, I missed a lot of lines of dialogue; the second time through I paid more attention so I can catch all the things I missed the first time). For example, per Alex's complaint about the hydrologist drinking the water but not being affected... He actually didn't drink the water. There was a scene in the shack where he was handed a glass of water, but was put off by the color so he brought it really close to his face to smell it. He mentions not being able to smell anything but he could test it to be sure; later that night you can see him testing the water in his tent with one of little strips of paper with some chemicals on it and the paper reacts by turning into a spectrum of bright, pinkish colors (reminiscent of the meteorite). It's after this that he starts telling everyone not to drink the water. :)
Edit:
Oh, I also caught a special showing with a Q and A with Richard Stanley and Nick Cage after the movie. Richard Stanley is apparently looking to make a trilogy of Lovecraft movies. I don't remember exactly which he said would be the next movie, but I think it might've been The Dunwich Horror.
my favourite seen is when Lavinia stares at the hydrologist and they are shown the planet the meteor came from. He screams in absolute horror and it was so damn unexpected.
Yeah I don’t know why they didn’t mention this part
It’s not Lovecraftian, it’s Lovecraft. The story was literally written by Lovecraft.
they mention the story
um Lovecraft story is Lovecraftian lol
That's a very Trancendentalian point-of-view.
dude no shit
It's not the same story but ok
Joe really wants his friends to love this movie.
We all have that one movie/book/game we all think is an utter masterpiece but no one around us seems to get.
This comment from you sums up everything:
"We will make this show as clean, sanitary, and respectful as possible so
no ones feelings can be hurt watching us argue anymore. Basically no
more arguements as our audience cant handle it"
No mate, arguments are good and most comments on your videos support them but when you argue you just turn into a fanboy. When Alex raises a good point you just cut him off with "come on man, come on" or that he's judging it like a high budget movie.
Your method of arguing the point is that you can't understand that someone didn't like it and that they're wrong for thinking so.
I actually like Nic Cage’s acting in this movie. He really embodied the creep factor of a father slowly losing his mind. Combined with that horrifying visual of the motherson fusion, it made for an unsettling film. The best Lovecraft adaptation so far in my opinion.
This review is freggin hilarious because of how fragile Joe is being.
"So let's hear your honest opinion." *2 minute later*
"YER JUST BEING A STRAWMAN, WAAAAAH!!!" xD
Its just kinda uncomfortable and awkward. Not even really entertaing in my opinion.
Yeah Joe is kinda insufferable when he disagrees with someone. I haven't seen this movie, but the way Alex and OJ disagree is way more respectable. They let AJ talk, while AJ interjects every 5 seconds when they talk.
Oh let the guy be himself and debate his mates when he passionately disagrees.
Bunch of hypocrites.
Too Daloo it’s not a debate when you don’t let your mates actually talk. You even know what debate means?
@@Xsurian He clearly doesn't know what hypocrite means either
Remember when people hated Alex for "being too harsh"?
I agree with some of the criticisms, but you can’t go into a Lovecraft story looking for a satisfying ending. That’s just not how this works. To have a satisfactory ending would be unfaithful to the original.
Just in case no one has mentioned this yet. In the short story version a side effect or symptom of the cosmic entity was an unwillingness to leave the situation or their home. The characters seemed to be trying to fight against this need, but were never able to. Even the narrating character in the short story meets a man at the edge of town who remains even though the town has been abandoned, hinting that there may be still something that remains of the color out in space and is making him unwilling to move away
Im a big Lovecraft fan, i REALLy really wanna go see this
Same, except I really dont want to see it.
@@GigglingStoners Stfu
Loved it
Joe is correct on this, the Cage camp is deliberate, but the Lovecraft is spot on.
If your in it for an interesting adaptation u r going to like it but dnt expect any real characters short of cage n the daughter who wasnt even in the original story.
An easy 9 for Joe = a 8 max later on for him when he calms down :)
as usual 😆
His movie reviews are terrible
Repeating a phrase like ''we gota get outa here'' is very very common and normal behaviour in a weird/fucked up situation...
Vocal minority - dislikes angry movie reviews
literally 99% Every one else - cheering as they fight to the death in the movie arena
Love angry Joe, other jo, Alex keep up the great work guys
I was absolutely shocked at how good this movie was. Every scene was better than the last, ending in an insane, awesome crescendo. Holy shit.
There is going to be a trilogy, though. This is part 1 of a trilogy.
Pllllzzz
Notice how the color was pink/magenta but they often contrasted it against green, as though to try and get the idea across that this isn’t the sort of thing you see often in nature, not to this level of saturation.
No yellow sunlight at all either.
UltimateEnd0 Nice catch, yeah there were a lot of efforts made to make it look like nature was being swallowed up by something unusual.
Also holy shit can we appreciate the utter genious that is OJs shirt? XD
15:38 Correction, Joe like every movie except Alita.
Dont forget bumblebee
Alita is sick
right on Joe too, Alita was terrible
@@Cenot4ph
It was good for a anime/manga adaptation.... not so much otherwise...
It’s one of the best made Lovecraft movies/games, etc ever made. It’s hard to translate his writings into any other medium besides literature as he made you use your own mind to see things and the horrors he described.
I really think this is one of the best adaptations of a Lovecraft story in any movie or other media.
You forgot to mention that Richard Stanley directed Hardware!
20:26 Alex is completely wrong here. He does NOT drink the water at any point in the movie.
I keep hoping for the idea of Lovecraft films to grow in popularity so I can see more of them, but I feel like Lovecraft will always be niche. I recommend any horror fans at least listen to The Complete Fiction of HP Lovecraft on Audible, he certainly has an old writing style, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to see a film based on The Dunwich Horror or At the Mountains of Madness.
Average Person: **Yes - I’m A Fan of LoveCraft’s Work**
**In Reality**
*They Read Through Wikipedia and Watched UA-cam Videos*
or actually read a few of his works. Racist but quite well versed. The Mountains of Madness will forever be my favorite...Color out of Space is good, but the entire story of Mountains of Madness had that atmosphere of cosmic dread. The Dreams of Witch House along with the case of Charles Dexter Ward... and youtube videos might've played a bit of a part of getting me into his stories...Horrorbabble is one hell of a channel for that. Thank you Ian, if you read this.
Honestly, probably the best way to experience them anyways. from the one I read(call of Cthulu)it's not great outside of the weird concepts anyways.
Hahaha isnt that the truth
@@bjornironside4674 not even close to true. He is one my fav writers as a kid. His short stories are best way to experience Lovecraft.
@@Zarryon12 and then i touched the glass. Cant remember name but i loved the ending of that story. ***Spoiler for HP lovecraft the outsider***
I was dead the whole time.... It actually gave me shivers as a kid. Looked it up, the outsider. Great story.
OMG - Not Getting out of there wasn't about the family - it was about her getting contaminated and becoming one with the place, just like the ritual she did just prior, it wasn't a normal ritual it was influenced by the contamination at that point..!
Its a horrendous thing to know that this film didn't even amass a total of $1 million at the box office. Its one of the best movies I have ever seen.
i love how the showcase that everything that looks beautiful in the movie is deadly haha great love craftian representation
It wasn't beauty per say as it was what their feeble minds were able to stitch together when observing the alien.
@@xMckingwill i meant by the plants and the creatures that came out of the meteor, but yeah our minds couldn't, or they would of exploded which is what happened in the movie haha
@@xMckingwill _"It wasn't beauty per say as it was what their feeble minds were able to stitch together when observing the alien."_ I feel ur intelligent point can help to explain why many of the aliens in Star Trek were humanoid with bumpy foreheads & 3 nipples
@@alwaysdisputin9930 yup human imagination is limited we assume anything that is intelligent must look like us because we believe we are the best thing to happen in the universe since sliced bread.
Lovecraftian is a name. One word
"If you don't agree with me, you're wrong!"
"The Endless" was a great cosmic horror movie!
I might also recommend "The Void"
The point is missed that escape was not possible due to 10 miles of wild forrest surrounding their home. How could they have not heard this mentioned?
10 miles of chimeric abominations!
Joe - Let them talk. My god we get that you disagree - I want to hear WHY they thought that. You keep interrupting them
Worst thing about Joe's channel is that he wont shut up and let his friends talk. Pure narcissism at work.
@@DarkBykeTwitch Not sure if it's narcissism. It's more of a control/being right. He has to understand that he needs to respect others. He can make an argument but while he is "angry" Joe. He needs to stop being rude. He can be angry all he wants.
@@Valiyus Narcissism, center of attention.
@Jason Strom Sounds like you are one.
Channel is Angry Joe, NOT Other Joe and Alex. While I like and appreciate their input, I am not watching it for them. Joe brought me here, I want his take to be center stage.
I just love watching you guys talking about movies you've seen together, just as three friends would discuss it after the movie at a bar or coffee shop right after the movie. I almost feel part of the discussion by having my own thoughts and views about the movie itself. Don't change the format, I love it the way it is right now! Keep up the great and dedicated work you guys are doing for our entertainment! Cheers!
That dude in the middle does not understand how Cosmic Horror.
The color and the things that it affects don't follow any rules.There are certain things like Tommy Chong smells the water and the hydrologist doesn't smell it Nicolas Cage says a weird smell is coming from the meteorite and no one else can smell it I'm sorry that was making me mad
And no as a lot of people have probably pointed out the hydrologist specifically does not drink the water
I was SOO with joe the whole time, i love the heated debate tho, very entertaining!
i can understand why some people might not like it or find some inconsistencies in character motivation.... but the characters are going crazy throughout the movie, so what some people may think is bad writing or acting, is actually in my opinion done on purpose to create the sense of madness and hopelessness.
"why didnt they DO anything?"
"what CAN you do?"
i think a perfect example of this in the movie is when the brother asks Levinia "should we warn him?" (Nick Cage)
and Levinia responds "about what?"
the villain these characters are up against is so far out of the realm of reality that they dont know how to even talk about it
Richard Stanley NEEDS to make more movies!
Joe to other joe after interupting him; "What are you going to say Alex?"
I'm happy to see that Richard Stanley is in great shape!
"The color used in this film to represent The Color is Magenta, which doesn't exist as single wavelength of light as part of the spectrum of visible light (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, & Violet; also known as "ROYGBIV" to join the seven initials). Rather, it is an extraspectral color, that is only perceived by humans in a specific interaction of the optical rods in the eyes that detect Red & Blue in specific circumstances to create the Magenta in the mind. Since Red & Blue are associated to Evil & Good, it means that The Color is apart from Evil & Good to come from another universe where these concepts cannot be applied. The color code for Magenta is: RGB (Red-Green-Blue) 300, 100, 100; HSB (Hue-Saturation-Brightness) 255, 0, 255." - from IMDb Trivia section
So after reading the comments and someone point out the daughter is named Lavinia who shares the same name as Lavinia Whateley of The Dunwich Horror, and that the next planned movie is confirmed to be The Dunwich Horror, I say that shows there will be a connected cinematic universe in this trilogy. I sort of want to see the climax again to see if there’s any signs of spheres to see if she had a connection to Yog-Sothoth. Her having a copy of the necronomicon could also be a tie-in, since the necronomicon plays a big role in The Dunwich Horror.
Joe was really being combative in this review. He was taking Alex's pretty grounded criticism way to personally and being very rude and out right mean and disingenuous putting words in their mouth. Normally don't agree with Alecx but he handled this review well given how Joe acted
I agree, it was almost cringey to watch. Joe was getting mad because they didn't like the movie like he did. It's almost like Joe had a personal stake in the movie doing well because he was taking everything to heart. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and Joe was just slapping down everything Alex was saying, but Alex handled it very well by being calm, patient and non combative with Joe. Like the money shot clip was so hard to watch.
I think Alex is terrific
Guys,they are just debating,its not a presidential debate where there have to be structure and they have to put big smile and listen without interruptions.This is why is channel is so popular..its non constructive debate,he argue,he laugh and he get upset and angry joe...well guess what?his show is called ANGRY Joe show...thats his trademark,not following specific etiquette,just being himself...so Joe dont change who u are :D
Nobody is mad/angry. This is how close friends talk and debate. Just like me and my friend. They have different opinions, some more passionate to make a point. But at the end it's just having fun debating. Then again this is his show, if you have your own show, high chances you will do the same. so just chill.
People are way too sensitive nowadays. Dont you think if Joe's friends were really hurt that they wouldnt be friends with him anymore? Also he's just defending the movie because he really loved it.
Joe's friends: ''In my opinion the movie wasn't good.
Joe: *''OH MY GOOOOOD''*
Been watching for like 30 minutes but still no idea what im watching 😁
this is the first Joe movie review N its clear his strong suit is video games and being the only one with an over all opinion.
They need to watch it again. The hydrologist never drank the water, by the time shit hit the fan and the wife and son were fused they couldn't leave because the car wouldn't start. They could have walked 12 miles through the forest but we're afraid with everything going on. The "ace ventura" impression was him turning into the aspect of his father he hated. Etc. Most of the negatives were either misunderstood or not remembered properly.
Also extremely surprised they didn't discuss the vision of the alien world and possibility of Lovinia summoning the entity to kill her mom's cancer in the first place. "Curses come back on you two fold".
This movie rules. Best Lovecraft adaptation by far. 9/10, especially as it’s a, “B-movie” with a budget of 12 million.
AJ gets so sensitive and personal when they disagree with him.
But it’s his own opinion
@@whales0310 but Joe is literally acting like a child because they don't agree with his opinion.
That's not appealing or professional... Angryjoe was actually kinda annoying to me in this video
He needs to grow up
@@jhamer18 Its for the sake of entertainment,do you want to instead watch half an hour with Joe monotonely agreeing and disagreeing?
@@leonardo9736 it doesnt have to be monotone but i'd like it not to be a borderline argument.
Meh, don't change Joe, you're not "I Pleasantly Disagree Joe", you're ANGRY JOE!
"Color Out Of Space" was a blast. Loved it. Cage's performance in "Mandy" got laughs too from the premiere I was at, even though I found his breakdown in "Mandy" very sad/heartbreaking and not funny at all - and in COoS, he slowly deteriorates into his abusive fathers insecurities which I thought was clear, not just over the top Cage for campy effect. I agree that Lavenia was taking part in her family's demise along with the Color. None of them were gonna be allowed to leave, not in their human form at least.
Overall really good low budget/good looking Lovecraft horror and I hope Richard Stanley makes more movies after all this time (the Island Of Dr. Moreau documentary "Lost Soul" on him is a good watch too).
nic cage didn't belong in this movie,i think he is ruining the movie with his over the top expressions
Loved it, We need more H.P. Lovecraft movies! Aside from the rickety set design (could see the artificial turf shifting, and the foam well moving when actors touch it) and odd dialogue, everything looked beautiful. Lovecraftian horror is scary because it attacks out fear of the unknown and incomprehensible.
The one thing that I found disappointing was that Ward (the narrator) was sane at the end of the film. One thing that is consistent in most Lovecraft movies is that they are narrated by someone who survived the events, and is left mentally destroyed by the experience. These aren't the kind of events that the human mind can just recover from, that's the point, you either die or succumb to the madness. That said, this is the kind of 80's-style horror that I desperately miss, and it's a crime that the first real Lovecraft film in years only got a limited release.
Some people just can’t see art ..even if the art is burning their eyes with acidic colors
Art is subjective my friend.
@@kingcobra2858 the movie wasn't that good
@@KerioFive its good enough, imo.
@@kingcobra2858 for HP himself? Idk
@@KerioFive for a Lovecraftian movie, yes. I mean if u comepare it to others this is pretty decent.
Lol at Joe saying oj's influenced by Alex. What was the point in even bringing that up? It just seems like you're upset by their opinions and score on the film and wanted to take a small jab at them. You need to try to cool it Joe everyone's allowed to have their own opinion, O.J and Alex don't get upset when you like a movie they dislike. It's ok to debate about things but sheeesh
AzureFlame channel is literally called angry joe and you thought him to calmly discuss things. He’s a passionate person whether he is defending something or shitting on things.
Erik Johnson he can still be respectful to his friends and have a adult discussion, just cuz it’s your channel doesn’t give u the right to act like an asshole.
That shit actually made me feel bad for oj. Seems like a good guy and you can see when Joe said that he was clearly uncomfortable. Sucks man. Wish Joe could act like an adult.
You really do need another channel. One for gaming and one for film reviews. If I want film reviews I’ll subscribe to Mark Kermode’s channel. Is there no gaming news? Other channels I subscribe to seemingly have a constant supply. Please revert back to gaming reviews with a “yah done fakked it up” at the start!
I saw this movie at the premiere at the 2019 hp lovecraft film festival and cthulhucon.
Richard Stanley looked like nicholas cage cosplaying as Richard Stanley
"Dayglow fuchsia from space."
I always pictured the color from space as the glowing off green like from a radium dial on a clock. Like the glow of a standard glow stick.
The color always represented a nuclear energy danger in general. In the same way that Godzilla did.
I saw it as a ghostly pale blue, but that's the beauty of the story, it's up to the reader's visual/mental interpretation of something that is so alien and bizarre that we literally cannot describe it. Lovecraftian horror at it's finest :)
@@AquaLantern I assumed blue-green, I think it's a shade used a lot by artists painting scenes from Lovecraft stories.
But purple looks much more striking in dark environments on screen.
I thought of it as a green/purple that you couldn't pinpoint cuz it'd change before your eyes.
Maybe like a soap bubble. You can almost see many colours but your eyes just never seem to decide.
@@joeyjojojrshabadoo7462 Soap bubbles mixed with an oil spill on a color shift car. In photo negative.
Everyone can just ignore Joe's score from now on tbh, 9/10 for this is insane.. OJ and Alex are the ones who always have the realistic scores.
The same way you should ignore all scores because they're personal?...
@Top Dog yes because you know way more than joe about movies. Stop watching his movie reviews if you dont like it, he isnt meant to be the movie god he is just saying his opinion.
Yes no way this film is a 9/10. You’re essentially saying the movie is perfect which I mean…no…no it wasn’t.
This film was fantastic, the biggest issue is some people just don’t like macabre, it’s an acquired taste, like some people don’t like futurama, the mix of sci fi and humor does not settle with some people, much like this dark dark cosmic absurdism doesn’t jive with some and that’s ok but if you like lovecraft at all you will like if not love this I promise :)
I haven't seen the movie but I can speak of the original short story about some of those apparent inconsistencies:
- the original story has TWO narrators: one is a character who never encountered the Colour, while the other was a neighbour of the family who witnessed the whole event in the past. And the first narrator slightly implies that the neighbour could have been infected, too
- the whole point of the 'family doesn't leave' in the story was exactly because they could not. The Colour, through its 'infection', compelled them to stay there. They wanted to leave... but had no strength to do it. And it's one of the reasons why it's implied that the neighbour never left the land too
- the Colour was effectively 'physical', it was a viscous, plasma-like 'thing' that was inside the meteor. He seeped into the ground, contaminated the water and basically terraformed the whole farm to become its own food reservoir - living beings included
- in the end, the Colour gathers all its fluids and 'shoots itself' to the stars, leaving Earth.
...but the neighbour thinks that he glimpsed a small globule falling back to the ground, not being able to merge with the whole mass which was leaving. Or maybe it was only a false impression ? We as readers never know.
One thing I know about the movie however is that the girl was called Lavinia. Why is this important - or at least a GREAT easter egg ? Well, one of the most famous Lovecraft's short stories is 'The Dunwich Horror' which basically tells of a sorcerer, called Whateley, who summons the deity Yog-Sothoth and makes his daughter being impregnated by him, giving birth to two... beings. Of course the Necronomicon was involved. What was the name of the Whateley girl ? ...Lavinia.
Alex and OJ dominated lmao, I lost respect for AJ when he started strawmanning and putting words in their mouths. If you wanna make a point don’t be that guy
Poor Alex XD Joe is so enthusiastic that his respones are a little harsh (like always between the two XD)
How to make this movie: Take one part Annihilation, mix in one part The Thing, add some crazy Nick Cage, throw is some weird color effects, stir in some really goofy looking special effects, fold in some weird dialogue, add people doing really stupid and illogical things and bake it in an oven set to 2000 degrees for 24 hrs. until burnt to cinders.
@ 21:40, I'm pretty sure it's because he wasn't there when the meteorite it the ground, never saw the initial color flash. Yes the water is infected, but the Farm is Ground Zero, and the family spent the most time there..
I am looking forward to watching it as well as looking forward to the other two movies since it is a planned trilogy. 2nd movie already confirmed to be The Dunwich Horror.
Hasn't been greenlit by any studio yet, though.
I loved it.
Nailed lovecraftian cosmic horror
Mixture of from beyond, in the mouth of madness and the thing
Didnt disappoint , wish it had a bigger budget and it did have dragging moments but never lost interest
Don't change a thing Joe. Let viewers go watch 'Bland Alan' for their movie reviews if they dont like it. Its your passionate views that makes this channel unique. If i wanted calm expressionless debate on cinema id go watch the countless other channels that do that. Angry Army FTW!
The whole part with the older son going down the well took me out. There is no way he would have gone down the well for the dog. And then when the light is coming up, we see him put on his grandfather's goggles from earlier in the movie, but there was zero payoff for that.
Proof that Lovecraft's cosmic horror can be done justice on film.
Press x to doubt
Y’all doing a Picard review?
Funny thought as well that the girl does the ritual in the beginning to restore her mother’s health AND get out of there. Both wishes were granted, she got teleported through that tunnel and her mothers health was restored but in a different way, if you know what I mean.
Just watched this film today and i agree with AJ it's fantastic ! And... i was thinking what if there was a deeper layer of meaning to the core actors in this movie ? what if each of them represent a deadly sin ? I have this thought when i was thinking of the eldest son obvious laziness and this thought just came through
- Nicholas cage , Wrath because he get tick off by the smallest things
- Eldest Son , Sloth because of the whole bummer/laziness
- Lativia , Lust
- Mom , Envy because she is not confident of herself like asking Nic Cage very early in the movie at this point why do you still like me etc
- Young child , Glutonny, not really sure why maybe he eats anything ?
- Erza (that hippy in the cabin) , Greed because of he is a hoarders
- Hydrologist/Narrator, Pride because refuse to drink water lols
that just my personal thought maybe i overthink :P
