	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A satisfying shot at bringing a classic of the sci-fi/horror genre to modern audiences (...) It’s surprisingly faithful to Lovecraft’s original story"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"'Color Out of Space' doesn’t quite gel as a whole, its narrative (...) Nonetheless, it always holds interest, and frequently fills the eye with impressive fantastical imagery"	NEU
United States	Jonathan Barkan Dread Central	"Gorgeous, vibrant, and terrifying, 'Color Out of Space' is packed with Lovecraftian creatures and cosmic infections galore. It’s not perfect but goddamn is it a wild ride (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A cheerfully lurid mess that goes goofily off the rails after a slow build, and will offer few surprises for adepts of Lovecraft or of screen schlock"	NEG
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"A film by a Lovecraft fan for Lovecraft fans (...) [it] feels like a missed opportunity (...) to tell an interesting story that’s actually about something"	NEU
United States	Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting	"Another campy Cage performance (...) a film that feels like a torturous slog (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"Love it or loathe it, Stanley is trying to do something distinctively his own after all those years in the cold. His movie perhaps has the makings of a cult classic (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Nick De Semlyen Empire	"It’s not as effective as 'Mandy' or 'The Mist', both of which it evokes at points. But 'Color Out Of Space' is still an audacious and admirably out-there attempt at cosmic horror (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ed Potton The Times	"Stylised weirdness, but it ultimately feels rather empty (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Tara Brady Irish Times	"Stanley meticulously builds a series of increasingly sinister tableaux (...) Take that, you art-horror whippersnappers (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	James W. Anderson entertainment.ie	"While 'Color Out of Space' is a serviceable sci-fi, the horror is lacking (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Ireland	Harry Guerin RTÉ	"'Color Out of Space' is gloriously old school, stomach-churning, rib-tickling and strangely poignant (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
