The Curse of Micah Rood Micah Rood was a wealthy landowner who lived in the small town of Willow Creek. He was known for his arrogance and greed, rarely showing compassion or charity towards others. Legend has it that one fateful day, Micah came across an ancient artifact during one of his expeditions. This artifact was said to possess a powerful curse that would bring misfortune upon anyone who possessed it. Unaware of the curse's existence, Micah took the artifact back to his mansion, where he displayed it prominently. However, as time went on, strange occurrences began happening within the walls of the mansion.
Besides the rich story, the film is wrapped in an ominous tension that keeps building until the startling finale. The cinematography by Marc Wishengrad is filled with stark tones, flickering shadows and splashes of vibrant color, all which help build suspense and create a spooky atmosphere. I especially loved the shots of blood dripping from the apple trees.
Rood is obsessed with his apple orchard, which yields some of the sweetest fruit in New England, and he is convinced the townspeople are stealing from him. The Curse of Micah Rood is a short film based on an old and true Connecticut legend of cursed apples that have a pattern that looks like a blood stain in their center.
However, as time went on, strange occurrences began happening within the walls of the mansion. It started with mysterious noises and objects moving on their own, and soon escalated to paranormal activities and unexplained deaths. Word spread quickly throughout the town about the curse of Micah Rood.
