When newlywed Altair claims to have found a way of communicating with God, she builds a black brick door in her bedroom but her increasingly erratic behavior points to something more sinister. Her spiral is documented on the 8mm films shot by her husband and later found after their disappearance. Cauldron Films is proud to present the world wide Blu-ray debut of the Mexican found footage film 1974: La posesión de Altair. Shot on super8 film and directed by Victor Dryere, this meticulously created descent into madness uses atmosphere and brooding sound design to shape an unnerving experience.

Press Quotes

Daniel XIII; the result of an arcane ritual involving a King Diamond album, a box of Count Chocula, and a copy of Swank magazine, is a screenwriter, actor, artist, and reviewer of fright flicks…Who hates ya baby?

     —Horror Fuel

As for this film in particular, I love the retro-70s  super 8mm aesthetic and the unpredictability of where it goes, it's quite a fascinating found-footage entry.

One notable exception is the paranormal period piece 1974: La Posesion De Altar (Cauldron), a highly ingenious 2016 Mexican feature shot almost entirely on Super 8, which succeeds due to its intense lead performances and writer-director Victor Dryere's meticulous attention to detail.
