Prophecy (1979)
Directed by John Frankenheimer
When a dispute occurs between a logging operation and a nearby Native American tribe, Dr. Robert Verne and his wife, Maggie, are sent in to mediate. Chief John Hawks insists the loggers are poisoning the water supply, and, though company man Isley denies it, the Vernes can't ignore the strangely mutated wildlife roaming the woods. Robert captures a bear cub for testing and soon finds himself the target of an angry mutant grizzly.

What critics compared Prophecy to
There's a cantankerous old Quint figure, Dr. Rick (Bradley Whitford), who comes to replicate Robert Foxworth's legendary performance as a righteous Mike Brady in John Frankenheimer's cult-classic eco-terror flick Prophecy .
As a director reborn, Stanley still has the eye for everything from spectrum to slaughter, and although the pacing drops here and there, Color Out of Space should delight anybody who wore out the videos of Prophecy (ironically directed by Frankenheimer) and The Thing way back when.
