Back in 2017, Lukas Feigelfeld crafted one of the most celebrated horror debuts in recent years with Hagazussa: A Heathen's Curse, and it's now receiving the Limited Edition Blu-ray treatment in the UK from the folks at Arrow Video!
The film played prestigious festivals worldwide and is one of the most original takes on the subject of witchcraft, far exceeding Robert Eggers' efforts with The Witch, in my personal opinion. Hagazussa draws on broader influences including the creeping dread and hallucinogenic imagery of David Lynch and Panos Cosmatos.
Our own Sean Ellis hailed is as a "masterpiece of sinister supernatural cinema" in his review.

CD containing the complete Hagazussa Soundtrack by MMMD
"In an isolated Alpine hut at the turn of the 15th Century, Albrun is a young girl growing up alone. As an adult, she is a single mother and a marked woman, outcast by a society twisted in deep-rooted superstitions and misogyny. Still haunted by the death of her own mother and increasingly abused by the community around her, Albrun starts to defy the role she has been dealt in life and embarks on a path of self-empowerment – the price of which may be an even greater darkness than she has ever known before."
Pre-orders are available now from Arrow Video and Amazon. Succumb to the Heathen's Curse on April 27th, 2020.
