Arkham, 1975: Jonathan Davis' father has disappeared. His tracks lead to Germany, to the Swabian-Franconian Forest where he was stationed after the Second World War. Jonathan sets out to find him and bring him home, but deep in the woods he discovers a dark mystery from the past. Based on H.P. Lovecraft's short novel "The Colour Out of Space".
brutashell review - 'Filmed in black and white and primarily spoken in German, it is obvious that Die Farbe did not have a huge budget to work with. Effects are minimal and the cast is utterly unknown. I should point out that these are all good things, and work very much in the film's favour. There is no CGI to rely on, no name actors to carry it. Rather, the filmmakers do the unthinkable: they create a genuine atmosphere of unimaginable dread and unspeakable horror, using shadow, suggestion and rare splashes of that Nameless colour in a few select frames. In short, they did a damn good job. Die Farbe is subtle in its mounting horror, nurturing a dark dread deep in your bowels with every shot. All of the best and most stomach-turningly distressing films I’ve ever seen have come out of Germany: M, The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari, The White Ribbon, and now this one. Leave it to the Germans. We know how to gross you out on the deepest psychological levels.
Lovecraft worshippers and devotees of German Expressionism alike, take heed: seek out and view this film at your earliest possible convenience. It’s a dark, noisome little gem that will squirm into your subconscious and lay its eggs in your sanity. Hey, not everyone gets the honour of being a host organism for the Elder Gods, you know.'

#流动马戏团
没看过原版，但两个半小时的时长太拖沓！开头悬念，男主放火烧尸，中间回忆几度闪回，尽管有因有果，可男主性格有着说不出的别扭，感觉是剧本强行让他走向geek之路。《卡罗尔》两位女主几乎零互动！啊！宣传照骗人！
这次不志怪反而选择志人的Guillermo del Toro明显不够得心应手，阵容很豪华，故事却没有什么新意，实在想不出翻拍的必要在哪？
【我通灵，却只看到自己荒唐的野心】
这什么倒霉译名？ 铺陈介乎到位与不到位之间 结尾无惊喜
观感还不错，演员们的演技都在线，剧情也颇有亮点，特别是第一幕在马戏团的戏成功拍出了西方老式的神话般的诡秘感。但虽说是翻拍，这种故事放到现在显得比较过时，我更倾向于大改会比较好。马戏团和城市之间的转换稍微有些割裂，全片的节奏也很拖沓，铺垫得太详细太冗长了，完全没有必要凑两个半小时，导致直到最后半个小时节奏开始滚动起来以后才能完全入戏。
我不信你没玩血源。收尾太露没啥亮点，不错的氛围营造。但剧情上，读心术偏抽象不够直白，就是一种编剧咋编观众咋看的感觉。
预算如此如此充足，所有重要配角全是知名的性格演员演的…
电影在文本改编上基本上延续了47年电影版本，特别是几个主人公的设定跟古尔丁版本一致。可惜两次电影改编都忽略了原著以塔罗牌为章回的意义，电影不约而同的强调了”倒吊人“这张代表“牺牲”的牌。陀螺在结尾的处理基本上还原了格雷沙姆的小说原著，从Geek开始到Geek结束，“恐惧是通往人类本性的钥匙”。
6.5/10 两位女主全程没互动，这不是纯浪费卡司？
60/100 前面马戏团部分铺垫太臃肿，两年后的诈骗才是正题，而且没有什么惊艳之处，依旧是陀罗的黑暗哥特式的色调/服装/装饰/艺指/光影在支撑着，人物仅停留在疯魔之上，悲怆感被冲散（大魔王和鲁妮·玛拉居然近乎零对手戏啊，被这卡司骗到
美工依然是标致性的陀螺style，配乐稍满，不如the shape of water，另节奏实过于拖沓了。
3.5介於喜歡與平庸之間，沒看過舊版所以無從比較，單看新版各方面都顯精緻，甚至工整到有些平庸了，2個半小時雖然拍的很完整，但觀影到後半段漸漸有種不需要拍那麼長的想法，演員整體演出就跟本片光影與叙事一樣精緻，凱特布蕑琪的眼神真的很強，跟魯尼短暫同框算是圓了因為愛你CP再次同台的心願。一個騙子走火入魔到失去一切的故事，不想成為自己的父親，不想成為馬戲團的怪胎被當奇珍異獸展示，但是最
陀螺美学集大成，美术设计太强了，故事层面确实可说的不多，中文片名太耽误事儿了，只能说片名也是一种“障眼法”？
結局加一星，沒有落入老套的壞人伏法好人平安的發展。公司的經營理念“努力”“平衡”“忠誠”在黑心老闆的詮釋下變得如此諷刺，公平從來只是上等人用來放縱的藉口。
欲望和自傲在引诱着你 绝不能向邪恶的欲望和自傲屈服
这里有两部电影，第一部展示个人趣味，第二部完成情节任务。
The irony of self-fulfilling prophecies. Or is it an allegory for failing to take therapy seriously? The idea is good -- that everyone's opportunists in a hustler's world, except for the innocence that offers love and support with almost no boundaries until they get deeply hurt.
可以想象原版应该是部很酷的黑色电影，新版2个半小时真的又臭又长，高潮部分几乎一笔带过，显得莫名其妙，陀螺这回栽了大跟头。
