by Cédric Fanti, Pedro Junqueira, Eugenio Puppo, Matheus Sundfeld
Country: Brazil
Year: 2021
Duration: 17'
The short film depicts the process of recovering and finishing The Curse, directed by José Mojica Marins (aka Coffin Joe). Originally produced in 1980, the film hadn't been finished and was thought to be lost. Full of twists and featuring never-before-seen material, Mojica's Last Curse examines in detail the only unreleased film by the master of Brazilian horror cinema known so far, including behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, scenes from the original 1980 shooting and pictures of the graphic novel that made the film come to life.
