The Accursed - BLU-RAY

In late 19th century France, land baron Seamus Laurent (Alistair Petrie) didn't care for the Roma caravan on his property-or how brutal his means were for their removal, as an elder was slain. In short order, his young son Edward (Max Mackintosh) ran off, animalistic murders terrorized the community... and visiting pathologist John McBride (Boyd Holbrook) sought an explanation that might prove unholy. Old-school chiller also stars Kelly Reilly, Nigel Betts, Roxane Duran. AKA InchEight for Silver.Inch 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

A return to the most dangerous house in the world... After purchasing a property in Amityville, New York, Debbie (stage veteran Dawna Wightman) and her husband (Hangfire's David Stein) invite three of their closest friends to help renovate. Immediately uneasy in her new surroundings, Debbie begins experiencing shockingly vivid nightmares. Vague unease turns to outright terror when the home's inhabitants discover it's brutal past, and a mysterious visitor turns up dead. As the line between nightmare and reality disappears, their focus shifts from renovation to escape, but it's not clear who can be trusted - or who will make it out alive. One of the most overlooked entries in any major horror franchise, The Amityville Curse deviates from series formula, to surprising, amusing, and unsettling effect. Handsomely shot by Rodney Gibbons (My Bloody Valentine) and based on a novel by famed parapsychologist Hans Holzer - who also wrote the source material for Amityville II The Possession - this inspired oddity is full of memorable horror flourishes and moments of jaw-dropping weirdness. With a lively ensemble that includes Kim Coates (Innocent Blood), Cassandra Gava (Conan the Barbarian), Helen Hughes (The Incubus), and Jan Rubes (Witness), The Amityville Curse is essential Canuxploitation viewing.
