Poster kind of reminds me of Mandy, which used Cage to maximum advantage. Presumably going to be less violent and more weird, although a lot of Lovecraft adaptions add some gratuitous violence so who knows.
Color out of Space is probably my favorite Lovecraft tale. There are parts of it that feel like his most "modern" spooky story but blended with his classic ethereal indescribable madness.
It'll take a deft touch to replicate the surreal atmosphere right and I don't think it will work as a campy horror flick. And obviously you simply can't make a color that literally doesn't exist in a visual medium either. Without that element it doesn't bring a lot to the table we haven't seen since the novel was written, but I can see something interesting being made.

Plus Cage might be an aspect of Nyarlathotep so
