“Something of a collector’s item for multiple reasons, this BFI blu-ray restoration of Daniel Haller’s 1965 chiller has a number of selling points to recommend it. It’s a late work from icon Boris Karloff, it features cult actor Nick Adams, and it’s a rare modern-day, British set outing of American International Pictures. The latter is surprising in itself, because this is an adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s The Color Out of Space, which dates back to 1927. Modernising a story from 1927 to 1965, then viewing it in 2024 offers a weird telescoping of baroque styles, and Die, Monster, Die! mixes genre elements in this strange cocktail of tropes…”
