Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Diagonaldi Very well executed

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

qmtv Karloff rules, the story needs lots of help.Karloff was great in this movie. He's better here then in some of the other pile of crap movies he was in prior to this. The other actors are only decent. The actress playing the wife was also good. The male lead sucks. He just does nothing. The female lead was better but that's not saying much. The guy who played the butler dies, maybe of boredom, like some of the audience. He did OK in the dying role. Some of the townspeople were also OK. So, wait for Karloff, and unfortunately he's not given great dialogue or enough screen time. The cinematography was good, as well as the sets. Music was good too. FX sucked. The story sucks. It stars similar to Harker heading to the Dracula's castle. Beginning is handled well, with mystery of the family. Then we meet the family, like the Munsters, there's a beautiful normal daughter in a house with strange characters. She acts like everything is normal. So, the story goes down hill from here. After some time of boredom we find out that people and plants are being mutated from some meteor, and then everybody dies, places goes on fire and the young couple escape. Happy ending. This movie first needed a better story. The basics are there, but the scenes/actions/tensions are not there. It also needed a better male lead. The daughter was fine. And it needed more Karloff. So, as is. I can only give this C-, or 3 stars

Smoreni Zmaj "The Colour Out of Space" by H.P. Lovecraft is turned into pretty much lousy movie. Titles "Die, Monster, Die!" and "Monster of Terror" are misleading as there are no monsters in this story. It is about mutations of plants and animals caused by meteor fallen into small isolated English town. There's too much idling although movie lasts just a little above an hour and even Boris Karloff didn't leave much of impression. Special effects are ridiculous. I understand that movie is made in 60's when they couldn't do much better than this, but it would be better if they simply left those shots out and based the movie more on building a tension, leaving our imagination to compensate for missing effects. This way it just ended up ridiculous and pretty much boring. From Karloff in Lovecraft's story I expected much much more than this.5/10

moonmonday It's kind of amazing to watch this, with or without previous knowledge of Lovecraft's story upon which it was based. It has an engaging start, but also an irritating one, and it spends too much time of its similarly too-long running time poking about needlessly. Character motivations switch instantly and arbitrarily, sometimes from one scene to the very next. The script is all over the place, and because of this it doesn't manage to give the viewer anyone to really sympathise with or care about.Witley, Karloff's character, is hostile and needlessly secretive, and in fact attracts more questions than he would if he were more charming and less desperate. Stephen, the supposed 'hero' of the piece, is uselessly assertive -- he only insists when it's either too late or it means nothing. And the 'heroine', Susan, should change her surname to 'Witless', because that's about all there is to say about her character. She's utterly worthless and stupid, even practically throwing herself into mild danger to be rescued. Unfortunately, Stephen is almost as bad, forgetting his intent to leave in the very next scene after resolving to, now for some reason determined that no questions remain unanswered...and then of course, there's the scene where he nearly hurls an axe into Susan's head! All things considered, she probably would have been okay. Seriously, this woman had a *plant* sneak up on her.There are some very good parts, though: the mysterious Helga, the horrifying monstrosities in the greenhouse, and the strange scorch mark left in Merwyn's room. The final menace, while a bit silly, was at least striking. But it's too uneven and too scattered to be suspenseful or exciting, and it just manages to feel more perfunctory than anything else. It would have been far better to end it simply; the way it ended likewise brought up so many more questions than it needed to, and there was both little stake in the futures of any of the surviving characters and little explanation as to how they intended to go from there.It's suitably off-putting that the villagers are so reticent and hostile, but at the same time it also doesn't really make sense. True, ignorance and prejudice are rarely logical, but being so aggressive to someone who doesn't know and not even being willing to speak of it? What did they believe would occur if they just told him up-front what had happened, as far as they knew it? And for that matter, how long had it been since that happened in the first place? There's really not a sense of time in the film, much less a scale of time having passed. The doctor says he hasn't been working for some time, which is confirmed by his assistant; how would Susan not have known about any of this?Some last points: never, ever use that epitaph for any tombstone; a man who cannot stand on his own is unlikely to be able to dig and fill a grave without assistance; after Merwyn collapses, meals are never again mentioned and none of the characters seem to eat for the rest of the film; the greenhouse is not attached to the main house and the door was left open; OF COURSE IT CAME FROM SPACE. And those are just a few of the most obvious points to make.This is the kind of film that you could watch to pass time on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but don't watch it expecting to be riveted or excited, or least of all frightened. Karloff's charm and natural charisma are really all that manage to keep this watchable, and it is a testament to his ability. Unfortunately the rest of the film is just not up to par, with a disorganised script, unlikable characters, uneven performances, and no real suspense at all. It's a pity, because one can see the elements of a good film in there...they just didn't come together here. Also, The House at the End of the World is a far superior title to the insane Die, Monster, Die! A more accurate title along those lines would be Die, Mother, Die!.

Condom-full-of-Hatred I will say it straight off the bat, I'm a pretty big fan of HP Lovecraft. I regularly re-read his stories, and find that his way of looking at horror is greatly affecting my own approach to writing. But what is it about his stories that just doesn't generally work for the big screen, unless drastically altered? Look at Stuart Gordon's films for example, as he has probably filmed more Lovecraft stories than anyone else. But Re-Animator, Dagon, From Beyond and Castlefreak hardly reflect much of the authors intellectual horror and psychological approach. They borrow some key plot elements and run a mile with it, and are so enjoyable in their own right to avoid any serious criticism of being a poorly rendered adaptation. Apart from the Lovecraft Society produced 'Call of Cthulhu', they rarely stick to the original source material.The story, 'The Colour Out of Space' is probably my personal favorite Lovecraft story. It's dark, physical and downright scary in parts. So what happens when it gets made in the 60's under the watchful eye of AIP and Roger Corman? You get a movie that tries to bend Lovecraft material into Poe material, with mixed results.The plot starts off in similar fashion to the likes of The Fall of the House of Usher and The Pit and the Pendulum. Stephen (Nick Adams) arrives in Arkham train station (woooooo!), and tries to get a lift out to the old Witley Estate to visit his lady, Susan. The locals refuse to help him, which sets off immediate alarm bells. When he eventually does arrive, he is met with hostility from the wheelchair bound Nahum Witley (Boris Karloff, overacting and kind of wasted), telling him to leave his daughter alone. Susan's mother is sick in bed and hidden behind curtains, but she urges Stephen to leave the house at once, but to take Susan with him, as the house is cursed. It seems that some kind of evil is at work, turning the house guests into deformities! It is up to Stephen to figure out how the current madness links with the past in order for him to save the love of his life...When Die, Monster, Die! eventually gets going, it is a lot of fun, if you are in the right kind of mood. But the problem is, the first half hour is very slow, and as I mentioned, bears too many similarities to greater films for you to be truly sucked in. The problem may be with how bland and uninteresting a lead actor Nick Adams makes. He speaks in a broad New York accent, and he seems pretty dumb and un-involved compared to other AIP leading men. Act, Motherf*cker, Act! Suzan Farmer fares a bit better as the lead lady, but that may be that I was just staring at her ample hooters. No surprise she went on to work on some Hammer films. If you can get past the first half hour, you do get some treats, such as; the creepy shawl covered lurker at the window, a skin crawling shriek heard on the moors, a cool face melting moment, a creepy mist filled greenhouse with distant crows cawing (reminded me of the Resident Evil game) and mutant plants attacking, and of course, the sight of Karloff running around covered in green glowing paint! Apart from all of this, the film looks great. The house is atmospheric, and the fog machine must have gotten paid overtime for it's outstanding performance here. But as I said, this all feels like a Poe set up, shoe horning in some Sci-Fi in the last act. I guess Lovecraft wasn't a big name like Poe back in the 60's. Don't let my lacklustre review put you off however, as I said, this one is a bit of a hoot. Just don't expect The Masque of the Red Death or Re-Animator.
