Arthur, malédiction is a 2022 French psychological horror film directed by Barthélemy Grossmann. Based on the Arthur novels by Luc Besson, the film serves as a spin-off and the fourth installment of its film series, with the prior trilogy presented as films-within-a-film. The film stars an ensemble cast, and follows a group of Arthur fans who discover the house that was used as one of the trilogy live-action sequences set, only to find themselves being hunted down one-by-one by a group of deranged role-players.

Production

Luc Besson initially asked students from his film school Cité du Cinéma to write a horror spin-off of Arthur and the Minimoys, Following a viral review of the movie in 2022, an anonymous student revealed online that the production heavily exploited students. They were hired under the guise of an internship. Even though they were eventually paid minimum wage because having that many unpaid interns was illegal, they were systematically underpaid.

Principal photography began in secret in the summer 2020 in Normandy, where the original films were filmed and using the same house, between the first and second lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. It lasted 33 days.

The students that during weekly parties organized on the shoot, a technician repeatedly jumped on female students, grabbing their chests and forcing kisses onto them. When that behavior was brought up, Fanny Besson (Luc Besson's sister and the production manager of the film) minimized the incidents.

Filming took place in the Orne department, at the Château des Laitiers, owned by Luc Besson, where Arthur and the Minimoys and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc were also filmed.
