Chroma has announced the official North American release of Jonas Odenheimer’s non-fungible nightmare NFT: Cursed Images. Filmed on the streets of London and fresh off a festival run, NFT: Cursed Images debuts on digital platforms March 6, coinciding with a limited theatrical run. The film premiered at the 2024 British Horror Film Festival, where it shocked audiences and swept the awards, winning Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and the Rising Star Award.
NFT: Cursed Images stars David Wayman (The Ledge), Mariah Nonnemacher (Terminator: Dark Fate), Durassie Kiangangu, Amelie Edwards, Nobuse Jnr, Jasmine Clark, Charlie Rich, and Najarra Townsend (The Stylist, Dementia: Part II). In addition to writing the script, Odenheimer produced through his Old Jim Productions shingle.
Beginning March 6, audiences across North America will be able to rent or own NFT: Cursed Images on Digital HD, including Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home.
Ahead of the US release, Odenheimer shared, “I’m excited to finally be able to share it with audiences. My team and I wanted not only to create a “gateway horror” that would be a good entry point for a younger audience member into the scary movie culture, but also a movie that is relatable to an entire generation whose main worries became their financial future.”
In partnership with VeVe Digital Collectibles, NFT: Cursed Images gives audiences the chance to claim a free, limited-edition digital collectible by scanning a QR code embedded in the film’s official trailer. The collectible, available to the first 6,666 viewers who scan, is one of the same creatures that appears in the film.
In London, seven friends discover a highly coveted NFT collection called Crypto Horrors, promising profit, status, and social clout. But the collection is cursed. Soon, the digital monsters depicted in the NFTs begin to manifest in the real world, stalking and attacking their owners one by one. As the friends struggle to survive, they find that conventional methods fail. Panic spreads not only among the group but across online communities, where others begin to report strange phenomena linked to the cursed NFTs.
