About This Movie

Color (2020) dives headfirst into the psyche of obsession and beauty. The narrative follows a woman's twisted love for a painter, whose vibrant red-flower motifs serve as a haunting backdrop for her dark ambitions. The pacing has a deliberate creep, allowing tension to build as she resorts to violent measures to attain her version of beauty, harvesting blood from the young and innocent. It’s a film that channels a visceral atmosphere, perhaps thanks to its practical effects that bring the brutality and surrealism to life. Performances feel raw, capturing the desperation and madness of the protagonist. It’s distinctive in how it intertwines artistry with horror, leaving a lasting impression of unease.

Color has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with few physical releases making it a bit of a hidden gem. Its limited run has garnered interest, particularly among those drawn to films that explore the darker aspects of human nature through unique storytelling. The artwork on the cover tends to reflect its chilling themes, which collectors appreciate, though finding it in the wild can be a challenge.
