What was the last movie you watched?

Nicolas Cage's Color Out of Space (2019), which is probably the best adaptation of the Lovecraft's story of same name I have seen.

I know that there are movies from 1965 (Die, monster, die), 1987 (The Curse), and 2008 (Colour from the Dark) which I (think) have all seen, but Wikipedia gave me a surprise that Stephen King's The Tommyknockers was also affected by the original story. I don't myself see the resemblance.

A creepy picture of radiation sickness before the phenomenon was even known properly.

Kind of ironic considering Lovecraft only had a basic understanding of Maths and Science, based on what I've read - which included a lack of understanding of non-visible light.
Despite this, his story Color Out of Space - as you pointed out - still managed to create a creepy picture of radiation sickness before it was properly known, but wrapped in a more otherworldly sci-fi story.
