A meteorite crashes on the farm of the severely dysfunctional Hayes
family. The Hayes family are a really messed-up bunch: stern
fire-and-brimstone religious zealot patriarch Nathan (essayed with
eye-rolling hammy brio by Claude Akins), his smart, but unhappy foster
son Zack (a likable performance by Will Wheaton), lusty, faithless,
frustrated wife Frances (a deliciously histrionic Kathleen Jordon
Gregory), crude, browbeating, moronic son Cyrus (a perfectly hateful
Malcom Danare), and cute little daughter Alice (the adorable Amy
Wheaton).
Some gunk from the meteorite contaminates the water. Pretty
soon the crops, animals and even several members of the Hayes family
begin to mutate in various disgusting and disturbing ways. Zack must
save Alice from his now monstrous and dangerous family.
Director David
Keith, loosely adapting H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Colour Out of
Space," not only vividly evokes a thick and pungent down-home hillbilly
atmosphere, but also does an expert job of creating and sustaining a
spooky and unnerving tone. Moreover, Keith stages a few shock set
pieces with considerable flair and skill; an attack by hostile chickens
and the infamous worms-in-the-apples sequence are especially nasty and
memorable. The over-the-top apocalyptic climax is a lot of wild fun as
well.
The sound acting from a sturdy cast constitutes as another major
plus: Cooper Huckabee as affable, concerned doctor Alan Forbes, Steve
Carlisle as smarmy real estate agent Charlie Davidson, and John
Schneider as friendly water company representative Carl Willis. Roberto
Forges Davanzati's sharp cinematography and Franco Micalizzi's folksy,
throbbing, flavorsome countryish score are both up to speed. A
good'n'gross horror romp.
