Full Circle – The Haunting of Julia (UHD + Blu-ray Disc)
Director: Richard Loncraine

A BFI Flipside release: 045

Based on the novel Julia a by Peter Straub, Full Circle is a highly regarded, long-vanished, evocatively eerie cult chiller, newly restored in 4K resolution. Bereaved mother Julia (Mia Farrow, Rosemary’s Baby) flees controlling husband Magnus (Keir Dullea, Black Christmas), re-establishing herself in an old house in leafy West London. Yet she finds herself haunted by apparitions of a ghostly blonde-haired child, sending her on a strange journey of self-discovery - with dreadful consequences. Long requested by fans, the BFI is delighted to bring Full Circle to UK audiences as a limited edition 4K UHD and Blu-ray dual format release.

Never seen the film but its revival is getting a lot of cult horror fans hot and flustered, so naturally I'm curious and will happily blind-buy this. Surprised it's BFI tbh. There was speculation that it'd be either Arrow or Second Sight.

I've never seen this, but its a ghost story so I'm in.

You're not using them anyway.

It’s nice to see the BFI offering a duel format release.

Fingers crossed for Fidelity in Motion magic

This will be mine.

PowellPressburger · 02-03-2023, 05:31 PM

Kind of worried, no pre-order yet on diabolik and they already have a couple other BFI titles up for pre-order.

They might think one more edition might be overkill confusing for some

Three separate releases from three different countries is a bit surprising, especially for such an obscure (but fantastic!) movie.

jacobsever · 02-03-2023, 06:15 PM

Ahh. Was hoping for Second Sight or Arrow. But now that it's BFI...I'll probably just get the Scream Factory one instead.
