Interesting dreamlike, hallucination filled version of the HP Love Craft story "The Colour Out of Space" ...

Set during wartime Italy, Lucia and her Husband (along with her sister, Alice) live a rural farm. Their well water gets infected by the 'Colour' (an alien and/or spiritual force) - the apparrent good effects on the farm are soon replaced by madness and demonic possession...Unlike the original story the force here has some Satanic/Evil agenda rather than just a presence from the cosmos..

Lovecraft stories by their very nature are hard to adapt to film because as soon as that unspeakable indescribable monster is show in all its glory it loses alot of its impact..So compared to most this is a decent adaption and overall an atmospheric and enjoyable film...Acting from the 3 main characters isn't bad but fair city drop out Gerry Shanahan is just dire as the irish accented Italian Neighbour.....
