Full Circle, also called The Haunting of Julia, is a 1977 British-Canadian horror film based on the 1975 novel Julia by Peter Straub, directed by Richard Loncraine and starring Mia Farrow.It follows Julia Lofting (Farrow), who accidentally kills her daughter Kate while attempting a tracheotomy to save her from choking to death. Deeply traumatized by the incident, Julia leaves her husband Magnus (Keir Dullea) and moves into a house of her own. Soon, she begins to have visions of a little girl who resembles her dead child. Meanwhile, seemingly supernatural events begin to suggest that her new house is haunted. Or is Julia just crazy with guilt?Though it wasn't a box-office success, the film has developed a slight cult following and is notable for being the first screen adaptation of one of Peter Straub's works. | |
