The Curse

Ive been on a recent kick of H.P. Lovecraft film adaptations lately. Luckily Movie Madness has an H.P. Lovecraft section. This little film is an adaptation of the story "The Colour Out Of Space", starring Wil Wheaton(Stand By Me, Star Trek: The Next Generation) & Claude Akins!  I was surprised to see "Louis Fulci" attached as producer of this film. Being a massive Lucio Fulci fan, I automatically gave this flick some points. In the end it doesnt really deliver, but there are a few nice atmospheric moments along the way. Although its worth a watch for the sole fact that this is one of four films that Fulci produced. Its one of the only reasons I reviewed this title. The basic story line is that a meteorite lands on a farm and shrinks inside the crater oozing out a liquid that makes crops large but not edible. The sickness eventually infects the family. Not necessarily highly recommended ,but worth a watch if your a fan of H.P. Lovecraft & Lucio Fulci.
