Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

WisdomsHammer This thing is so ridiculous and unintentionally funny that it would have been a cult classic if they had played up the humor. Unfortunately, every scene, even the most absurd, is played with a grave seriousness that makes this movie almost depressing. If you can manage to not sympathize with the plight of any of the characters (which is difficult in many cases), you'll find this a lot more entertaining. The Curse isn't a title I would have used for this, even though it's not unfitting. A cheesy 60s title like Space Plague would have been awesome. It's difficult to recommend this, but if you like cheesy horror movies it is definitely worth a watch.

The_American_Caller This adaptation of Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space proves that adapting most of Lovecraft's work is just not feasible unless really done with utmost care.The horror in Lovecraft's story is completely contained within his writing style and as such cannot be easily translated to film.Especially when the film is so pedestrian and routine as this one, and leaves out significant elements of the story, or changes them, and/or updates it to a modern time period for the sake of budget. Just take one look at the "meteor" (like a weather balloon) and the "impact crater" (badly designed bulldozer scrape) and you'll see the budget restrictions.Practically everyone who has read this story and is a Lovecraft fan has imagined it as a film. The proper way to do it would be as what the HPLHS Films did for The Whisperer in Darkness, which would be B&W and set in the same time period as the story.And the use of B&W photography would be of prime significance since the actual "colour" from space is supposed to be a new type of color never before seen by human eyes.

BA_Harrison Poor old Zack (Will Wheaton): his mom, Frances (Kathleen Jordon Gregory), has gone and married Nathan, a super-strict, religious zealot farmer (Claude Akins) who punishes every infraction with a lightning-fast slap or two around the chops (seriously, this guy has the reflexes of Bruce Lee). Zack's older step-brother Cyrus (Malcolm Danare) isn't much better, an obnoxious fat slob who takes every opportunity to drop the youngster in the s**t (sometimes literally!). Matters only get worse for Zack after a strange meteor crashes onto the farm, contaminating the water supply with space goop that spoils the crops, causes the animals to turn hostile, and turns his family into violent raving loonies with very bad skin.Loosely based on H. P. Lovecraft's short story The Colour Out of Space, The Curse is a trashy slice of '80s B-movie schlock that no-self respecting fan of bad movies should miss. The dreadful directorial debut of actor David Keith, whose career behind the camera has, rather unsurprisingly, not exactly flourished, the film delivers one unintentionally hilarious scene after another. Viewers are treated to a crazed chicken attack on Zack's l'il sis Alice (Amy Wheaton), a manky mutated tomato squirting a torrent of juice over Frances's face, a mouldy cow erupting in a spray of maggots, Zack's mother melting into a pool of liquid, and a ridiculously over-the-top finalé in which Zack must rescue his younger sister from the farmhouse, which is inexplicably collapsing in on itself, while fending off attacks from his demented step-relatives (Cyrus attacks Alice, while Nathan, impaled on a pitchfork, still manages to show Zack the back of his hand a couple more times before carking it).The amazing thing is, as bad as this is, it somehow spawned a sequel (of sorts)—Curse II: The Bite, in which a guy's hand turns into a snake.6.5 out of 10 (it's too much fun to rate any lower), rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

Aaron1375 This movie had a somewhat good premise, just needed more. Then again is it not the story of almost every horror movie. They have something that could be good and screw it up with perhaps not enough killing, a story that goes off track or something that just causes the movie to derail. This movie needed more bodies to be killed of course I am a gore fan and while this movie has that it needed more killing. The story has a farm wife that is unfaithful and a very strict farm dad and two kids in tow. Well a meteor or something strikes and gets into the farm's water supply and what it does when consumed is not pleasant. Basically, the entire movie though is watching the farmer deteriorate both in body and mind. The son trying to keep his sister from eating or drinking the tainted food and water and his need to escape the farm. Like I said, add a bit more here and there and you have a winner as what happens to the family is rather disturbing. You feel for the boy and wish for him to escape, but you also wish the father would go on a major kill spree too.
