Wiki.
The Curse (also known internationally as The Farm) is a 1987 science-fiction horror film directed by David Keith in his directorial debut, and based on the short story "The Colour Out of Space" by H. P. Lovecraft. It tells about a meteorite that crashes into a farming community in Tennessee, which begins to infect the land and its residents. The film stars Wil Wheaton, Claude Akins, Cooper Huckabee, Malcolm Danare, John Schneider, and Amy Wheaton.
An international co-production film between The United States and Italy, production began in September 1986, in Tellico Plains, Tennessee and Rome. It premiered on September 11, 1987, and was a box-office bomb, grossing $1.9 million against its budget of $4 million. The film would be the first entry into the Curse tetralogy, a series of four films that were retitled for the home video market as a franchise. The retitled sequels includes Curse II: The Bite, Curse III: Blood Sacrifice and Curse IV: The Ultimate Sacrifice.
