After a strange meteor lands near a farm house in mid-West America, strange things begin happening to the family from witnessting strange lights, behaviour changes and blackouts.
One of the better adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft with a genuine eerie sense of oddness is the first directorial effort from Richard Stanley since he had been sacked from the 1996 THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU.
Prolific B movie actor Nicolas Cage once again puts in a suitably quirky performance in an often unpredictable film from a quirky and unpredictable writer whose work has sufficiently been satisfactorily brought to the screen. For some straight horror fans, despite shock moments, its arty style might be off putting.
