THE BURNING COURT—Widescreen Edition (1962) Nadja Tiller, Jean-Claude Brialy, Edith Scob, Perrette Pradier, Walter Giller. Finally—a beautiful widescreen edition of this horror mystery classic! This Euro-chiller has a most interesting combination of “old dark house" and “witch’s curse” themes. Scob plays the lovely descendant of an ancient witch who was wronged by her lover, and whose descendants she cursed (but of course!). Scob and her husband arrive at a mysterious chateau, which just happens to be owned by the “cursed” relatives of the ancient witch’s lover. Soon strange things begin to happen, including (of course) murder! A very creepy film that deals with a number of weird subjects, including occultism, possession, family curses, etc.; there's even a disappearing, reappearing body. English subs. Widescreen, from 35mm.
