Nathan Hayes is a religious man trying to hold onto his farm and keep his family in line. A real estate developer is trying to buy most of the farm property in the area, including Mr. Hayes family farm, in the hope that the Tennessee Valley Authority will choose the town for the site of a new dam and recreational area. The night of a terrible storm, an unidentified, glowing object crashes on the Hayes farm and with it comes a horrible curse for the Hayes family and the members of the community.
David Keith used his farm in Tellico Plains, Tennessee, for the exterior scenes. The interior scenes where shot in Rome.[1]
MGM released the film onto DVD in 2007 as a double feature with its in-name-only sequel, Curse II: The Bite.
