Cathy's Curse (1977)
1/10
Below even the bottom of the barrel
10 April 2010
There is one good thing I can say about this Canada/France co-production, and that is unlike many filmmakers in Canada or France, they were not making another boring art movie, and were instead trying to make something entertaining. But their attempt to make something mainstream fails in every other way you can think of. It's a real cheap movie - it seems they blew almost all of the budget on the classic car they destroy at the beginning of the movie. It actually seems that they didn't have enough money to shoot every scene in the script, seeing how *constantly* important actions take place off-camera, and that the beginning of the movie would be incomprehensible had the filmmakers not added written on screen text explaining things. The movie is poorly photographed (a Canadian trademark) in depressing-looking Quebec locations in winter, it has shabby special effects, and things happen that make no sense (what was the point of the scene with the rats and snakes?) If I could vote "zero" for this movie, I would, but for now I have to stick with IMDb's lowest available vote of one.
