- DirectorJ.X. WilliamsStarsLynn LowryJadin WongFlorinda Bolkan"Before VIRGIN, I never put much stock in the idea of a 'cursed' production. Take a film like INCUBUS. Just because the director's nephew died, the production company went belly up and Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate attended the premiere. Those could all just be coincidences. Shit happens. But with VIRGIN, you could just smell the vapor of evil clouding the set. It didn't help that our chief investor was a ranking member of the Church of Satan. In the end, we tallied three overdoses, a maimed-for-life set designer, bankruptcy and a car bombing (sort of). Even the film itself disappeared. Not just the prints. The film lab burnt down and we lost the negative. All I've got left is the nine-minute opening and the sound-sync is fucked." - J.X. Williams
