The Curse (also known as The Farm) is a 1987 American horror film adaptation of H.
Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space directed by David Keith.
Famed Italian director Lucio Fulci was listed as a co-producer in the credits, and is said to have supervised the special gore effects in the film.
Compared to previous adaptations of the Lovecraft story, this version stays closer to the source material.
Three other Euro-horror sequels were distributed on video titled Curse II: The Bite (1989), Curse III: Blood Sacrifice (1991), and Curse IV: The Ultimate Sacrifice (1993); although all four films are completely unrelated to each other except through title.

An overly obsessed religious man (Claude Atkins) is trying to provide for his family by holding onto his farm, and make sure his family obeys his orders. An unknown object flies out of nowhere in their yard during a hectic storm, and things start changing for the worse.
A first effort we were told at the Premiere in Knoxville TN for the Director David Keith. While not a pop crowd pleaser, it did catch the Lovecraft dead dark black kinda occult emotion.
A number of things attracted me to this film. Firstly, the pretty artwork on the cover, showing a huge hand coming out of the ground clutching a house.
