Lukas Feigelfeld’s directorial feature debut Hagazussa releases on limited edition Blu-ray from Arrow Video on May 11th. The story is set in the Alpine mountains at the turn of the 15th century, where mother and outcast Albrun (Aleksandra Cwen) suffers the deep-rooted superstitions and misogyny of her community. Haunted by the death of her own mother and abused by her society, Albrun’s pursuit of self-empowerment brings her into contact with a foreboding evil.
Feigelfeld and cinematographer Mariel Baqueiro spoke with Daily Dead about their film that created a buzz on the festival circuit in 2019 and was hailed by critics as a standout horror film. The pair spoke about not deliberately intending to make a genre film, how it began with feelings, images and sound, and holding onto the vision across a two-year shoot.

It’s that time again. Another year has come to an end and while 2019 was an odd one for horror as far as mainstream titles go, with many household baddies ending up leaving less of a mark than so many awesome indies (in my opinion), there was still a lot to like over the last twelve months.
Indeed, 2019 was a reminder of the tremendous diversity found in the many horror subgenres that brought us cornucopia of terror. Take your pick, choose your fate and dive right in with us. And in case you missed our first 10 choices for top horror movies of 2019, you can check them out here.

Lukas Feigelfeld's Hagazussa is not for the faint of heart. A primal exploration of madness and isolation amid the plagues and paranoia of 15th Century Europe, the film transports viewers into a special kind of lonely hell where every creak and wind rustle sends a shiver down the spine, and dark magic may or may not be at work all around.
Mmmd's guttural, primordial score announces the film's intent to take us back to one of the scariest times in human history. A time when superstition and religion melted together and were almost indistinguishable. And in fact, one of the film's great accomplishments is leaving you grasping between the two, determined to figure out if what you witnessed was magic or madness. It's near impossible, but a thrilling place to get to if you let the fil...

Lukas Feigelfeld’s Hagazussa is an audacious film that dives into the inner workings of traditional folklore to tell an entirely new kind of dark fairy tale.
Set in 15th century Europe, the film tells the tale of Albrun (Aleksandra Cwen), a young woman who has been raised in relative isolation by her mother. For the entirety of her life, Albrun has been an outsider. She has lived alone in the woods and on the fringe of the nearby village. She is scorned and feared by the locals, as was her mother before her. The film tells the story of how the isolation and mistreatment eventually cause Albrun to crumble, creating the real monster that lives beyond the facade of the folk tales and legends that we have come to know so well.

If “The Witch” had been directed by the early-career Werner Herzog of “Aguirre,” “Heart of Glass,” and “Even Dwarfs Started Small,” the result might have been something in the spirit of “Hagazussa,” Lukas Feigelfeld’s wholly arresting feature debut. Given the extended U.S. title “A Heathen’s Curse” to underline saleable supernatural elements, this enigmatic folktale-cum-horror is likely to flummox or even exasperate mainstream genre fans with its sparse plotting, slow pace, and near-impenetrable mysteries. But its mix of the poetical, repugnant, and phantasmagorical will weave a singular spell for more adventuresome, arthouse-friendly viewers.
Nearly two years after its premiere at Fantastic Fest 2017, it’s getting a limited U.S. theatrical release from Music Box’s genre subsidiary Doppelgänger, with a home-formats launch planned for the following week. Cult status is assured, and future work from Vienna native Feigelfeld — this is, incredibly, his film school graduation project — will be eagerly awaited.

Tagline: "A Heathen's Curse." Hagazussa: A Heathen's Curse is a German and Austrian film, from director Lukas Feigelfeld. This is Feigelfeld's first feature film. And, Hagazussa: A Heathen's Curse takes place in the 15th Century, when Paganism still existed and Christianity was on the rise. In a remote part of the Austrian Alps, Albrun (Aleksandra Cwen) is condemned for being a witch and she must use her powers to fight the local townsfolk. This title has been on a film festival tour since late 2017. A winner of several awards, Hagazussa: A Heathen's Curse now has an international trailer, found below. The official trailer shows some of the film's remote shooting locations. Covered in snow and out in the wilderness, Albrun struggles to stay alive. Lacking dialogue, the clip shows lots of strange imagery. But, the central story remains somewhere in the mist. Doppelganger Releasing with show the film this April.

"Come to me." Doppelgänger Releasing has debuted a new official Us trailer for the German horror thriller Hagazussa, set in the 15th century in Europe in a remote village in the Alps. Made by Austrian filmmaker Lukas Feigelfeld, this premiered at a number of major horror festivals in late 2017, but is just now making its way to American cinemas. Hagazussa is about an orphan woman named Albrun, played by Aleksandra Cwen, who begins to assert her otherworldly birthright as a marked woman. The plague she conjures makes human cruelty look pathetic and small by comparison. Described as "Germany's answer to The Witch that has stunning atmosphere mixed with brooding terror... Fans of slow-burn horror are going to want to settle in next to a crackling fire and let the story wash over them." The cast includes Claudia Martini, Tanja Petrovskij, Haymon Maria Buttinger, and Celina Peter. Check out this snowy,...

The possibilities for experimentation within the bounds of horror cinema are endless. For every commercially accessible masterpiece, there’s also a bizarre, unorthodox experience waiting to confound viewers. At a festival where there are dozens of films that fall into both categories, this writer has found one of the most unusual offerings to be Hagazussa: A Heathen’s Curse, a slow-paced, profoundly atmospheric plunge into the nightmare of seclusion.
Fans of The Witch will recognize the sparse, period-accurate style at work in this film, here recreating a medieval Austrian village deep in the woods. We begin with a young girl and her exhausted mother, snowbound in their cabin as villagers accuse them of being witches. A traumatic incident leaves the girl stranded as she grows to adulthood, a pariah of her village and mother to a bastard child—the effects of which begin to take their toll on her...

Anyone who found the deranged cannibalistic excesses of Darren Arofonsky’s mother! a little too vanilla should feast their senses on the deliciously dark flavors of Hagazussa: A Heathen’s Curse. An atmospheric folk-horror fable that combines an constant undertow of creeping dread with a striking avant-gothic visual style, it marks the feature debut of Vienna-born, Berlin-based director Lukas Feigelfeld. The title draws on an ancient term used to describe witches and female demons across German-speaking Europe in the Middle Ages.
