It’s been called “chilling and disturbing” (Film Fracture), “an absolute revelation” (Kindertrauma), and “unlike anything you’ve ever seen” (Bloody Disgusting). Now experience the director’s cut and American R-rated release version of Cathy’s Curse in Uhd for the first time ever! In 1947, a young girl is roasted alive in a car accident. Thirty years later, her grown brother returns to their childhood home with his mentally unstable wife and sweet daughter Cathy. But when the dead aunt’s vengeful spirit possesses the child, it will unleash an unnerving nightmare of creepy mediums, demonic dolls, and plenty of sick ’70s foul-mouthed moppet mayhem. In an unprecedented source upgrade, both versions are scanned in 4K from the recently discovered negatives with two-plus hours of special features.
Cathy’s Curse is available on 4K Uhd on March 26.

Norway
At the Abigail premiere, Dan Stevens listed Norway among his four favorite vampire movies. “I just saw a great movie recently that I’d never heard of,” he told Letterboxd. “A Greek film called Norway, about a vampire who basically exists in the underground disco scene in ’80s Athens, and he can’t stop dancing ’cause he’s worried his heart will stop. And it’s lovely. It’s great.”
You won’t find a better endorsement than that, but allow me to elaborate. Imagine Only Lovers Left Alive meets What We Do in the Shadows by way of Yorgos Lanthimos. The...

Canada - it’s my home and native land, and it belongs to Cathy’s Curse (1977) as well; although for decades it went from obscurity to discount box set before being rescued and restored. Now the film can be seen - after years of mud caked transfers - for what it really is: A truly bizarre attempt at setting The Exorcist/The Omen inside of an artsy marital drama, full of yelling, strange behaviour, and temper tantrums. And that’s just the grownups. In other words, Cathy's Curse is essential viewing for those who need a little Sturm und Drang und Flying Dolls in their lives. You know who you are.
A French co-production, Cathy’s Curse had regional openings all across Canada in the fall, and opened in France late summer. The critics were nothing more than dismissive with this low budget shocker, and it went through the usual journey: drive-ins,...

“You might ask why we are doing this commentary track.”Cathy’s Curse (1976)
Commentators: Simon Barrett (filmmaker), Brian Collins (critic/author)
1. This original cut features opening text that Collins (who also creates credits for TV/film) apparently recreated, and they’ve finally given Barrett the opportunity to read all nineteen words. They’re not present in the longer director’s cut. “I’ve never seen the longer cut,” says Barrett “and I won’t because I’m patriotic.”
2. The onscreen text was added by the distributors to explain the footage they cut for its release.
3. Barrett (and Collins?) recorded a “fan” commentary for the films years ago.
4. Barrett wonders about the Venn Diagram including people who are fans of the film and happen to know who both he and Collins are. “It’s like two specks that you can’t tell if they’re the same or not.”
5. “You know and I know that I’ve had...
