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.'
片名这么梁羽生，故事这么不奇幻，古怪指数这么低的陀螺，让人不太习惯啊，是奥斯卡让您平庸了吗？。。
又一部大导演翻拍作品，制作和表演都精良，故事不吸引我，看不下去。
结局真是讽刺啊。。兜兜转转回到原点了
对库珀真是无感，好在还有陀螺和凯特，奇趣观感依旧。
有点俗套的奇情故事，内容平平，倒是结尾有会心一击的感觉。
卡罗尔之后卡特女王和鲁尼又相聚。片子如陀螺导演一贯的黑色，没看过老版，我觉得精彩。各种隐喻和铺垫
关于怪物的养成和轮换，一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观。
【我通灵，却只看到自己荒唐的野心】
改编加的几句台词太好了 You don’t fool people, Stan, people fool themselves. 凯特布兰切特真是个大魔王。好喜欢fantasy和陀螺的暗黑童话风。
我以为最后那个老工人会用电钻击穿老板的头😢
cooper还不错，Cate Blanchett气场强大，吉尔莫托罗得影片画面总是很唯美，那迷人的血红，耀眼的金黄，就像是腐蚀男人心智的贪婪，最后归于宿命。Cate Blanchett太厉害，无论是何种面孔都能令人产生错觉，碾压了同场的Cooper，不过故事没有期待中的那么奇情，于是有点意犹未尽。
这是一部水准之上的商业电影，画面华美，演员大牌。这又是一部毫无新意的电影，从头至尾，一目了然。适合18岁以下观看，黑暗的寓言故事，谆谆教导不要被内心的贪欲控制。
就这？浪费了我宝贵的两个下半小时！就这么一个故事拖拖拉拉讲了这么久，节奏太差了，前一个小时令人昏昏欲睡，当然后面也没好到哪去，白瞎了这么多我喜欢的好演员
太冗長了，一環扣一環但環環都說太透…畫面固然美，音樂固然扣人心弦，故事講到最後已經無聊了…
太傻逼了，说这是黑色电影是对黑色电影最大的侮辱，只能说无知的人还是太多
已看一半。

7.0/10 美术还是很不错的。非常私人的作者电影，本质上充斥的是怀旧情绪，缅怀了一去不复返的往昔。最后主角的阶级跌落形成一个完整的闭环，但已经与noir没太大关系了，而与nostalgic有关，从A故事上看他是被动的选择回归，但从B故事上看他必然回到马戏团这个场所，只有这样才能找回归属感，因为那是他无法逃离的“家”，这可能也是德托罗为什么执意要把第一幕写的这么长，最终回到原点即是以最病态的方式怀念旧时光。 #补标#
最大优点是服化道，是真的给我强烈愉悦感的那种服化道。相较于原作的改动几乎全是赘笔，仿佛是嫌原作不够通俗直白，导演加入战争背景，戳破男主“双赢”谎言，甚至直接加入男主身份背景并让他杀人。精神分析的意图太明显，反而让原作最迷人的暧昧内核和宿命感荡然无存。好在收尾收得比原作干净利索。
很久没看过这么正的Film Noir了。
