Scream Factory is bringing the goods and giving us a 4K UHD of The Haunting Of Julia. The ghostly cult classic based on the novel Julia by Peter Straub is getting its first Blu-ray or DVD release here in the US. This movie will be available on physical media for the first time in decades on April 18th. The Haunting Of Julia features a new 4K restoration from the original negative and myriad new bonus features.
In The Haunting of Julia, Magnus and Julia Lofting (Keir Dullea, Black Christmas), and Mia Farrow, Rosemary’s Baby) suffer a tremendous shock one morning when their daughter Kate (Sophie Ward, The Hunger) begins choking. Unsure what to do, Julia attempts a tracheotomy, inadvertently causing Kate’s death. The tragedy sends Julia to a hospital to recover, but when Magnus asks that she come home, she prefers to buy a new house in London to live alone. Magnus begins pondering Julia’s fragile sanity, while Julia becomes convinced that her house is haunted by the spirit of a little girl.
