The Lovecraft adaptations in the "chamber of horrors" always represent very special highlights. Often, they have been criticized because they allowed themselves but some narrative liberties ("Mountains of Madness" or "Dexter Ward"), but they belong to the complex sinister force its atmosphere with the best in the whole series. "The Colour Out of Space" is now after a rather unsuccessful German film "The Color" an attempt to create an adequate radio play version of this story but is a prime example of urban inexplicable horror. Across the board, this one close to the original permanent dramaturgy and as always superb music and soundscape with better speakers, succeeded. "The Colour Out of Space" has become a highlight of the series. Light, a radio play beneficial changes were also made here. So the narrative surveyor who comes into an inhospitable, bleak searing landscape in the hills Arkham is there to measurements for a planned dam make a female part is set aside. Rumour has it, this "cursed heathen" was a place of horror. Both protagonists take these rumors seriously. But first they fear grips with the strange sight of the ill-fated borough earth. The trees crippled sickly, a fine white dust seems to be all over the dead landscape. Unnatural shimmers the air, an eerie fountains, charred remains of a former farm house, remnants of a fireplace can still be seen. Now by a local old residents they both learn the story of unimaginable horror, holding embrace this land. It is the tragedy of the formerly happy family Gardner Farmer and her slow terrible decline, along with the morbid decomposition of any life on this land. Thundering and threatening of "chamber of horrors" staged strikes at night suddenly a meteorite in the field of the villa. A stone that seems to follow strange strange laws of nature. Visibly shrinking while phosphoriszierend in strange unknown spectral colors of meteorite is indeed scientifically studied without result, but of anyone who happened to be taken really seriously. However, in the months that followed, the area changed in shocking fashion. Trees wearing unusually many fruits, but they are fully komen inedible. Animals, crippled and disfigured stagger through the increasingly unreal area. Unknown insect swarms cover a biblical plague equal to the landscape. The house of the Gardner family is the stronghold of madness, the Krankeit and infirmity, to a horrible death. Lovecraft's story is mercilessly shattering. Unforgiven plays his story with the greatest horror ever. Once the desperate helplessness of invisible forces, on the other hand the deep-rooted fear of unknown diseases, loss of control, personality changes through to the vegetating and perishing agonizingly. Timeless date, (think reactor accidents or the consequences of environmental disasters) this Alptraum- presented phantasmagoria, and just the fact that Lovecraft here no monsters needed but the process of dying in equanimity, takes place invisibly creeping way, makes this story his most impressive. She grabs by the slow sapping, permanent deterioration of the situation of the farm family. A little, I would have liked to have a longer duration than 75 minutes to here. Nevertheless, it creates author Marc group the quintessence of atmospheric horror to the point to stage exactly. The penetrating moans of the madness ruined, enclosed Farmer woman, vibrant unreal sounds when the galactic unknown color is the focus, the muffled heartbeat thumping when the steps are climbed to a dark room in which hides a sickening, gruesome sight "The only thing I still saw her eyes were" "The Colour Out of Space" - a captivating dark horror play. Perhaps the almost continuous carpet of sound is a little too epochal. Sometimes would be the use of scary dead silence once imaginable. But these are marginal in a masterpiece of the series with authentic speaker performance and exciting staging force. If you close your eyes believed themselves to be on this "cursed Heath" between gnarled trees and dead matter. A radio play enjoyment, crawling under the skin and deserves the highest rating.
