While perhaps not a household name among all anglophone collectors, French director James Huth (b. 1966) holds a unique spot in the annals of cult cinema, particularly for fans of mid-2000s genre fare. His 2007 horror-comedy, *Hellphone*, remains a sought-after gem. This quirky French take on the killer object trope, where a student’s new mobile phone has a demonic agenda, is a prime example of the kind of niche genre film that thrives in physical media collections. Its appeal lies in its offbeat charm and the often wildly creative approaches to horror found outside the mainstream Hollywood system. For collectors, *Hellphone* represents more than just a single film; it’s a portal into the diverse landscape of international cult cinema that flourishes on DVD and Blu-ray. While his collaborations with actor Jean Dujardin (such as *Brice de Nice*) have found broader success in France, *Hellphone* is the title that consistently sparks interest on the aftermarket. Its scarcity on some home video formats, coupled with its oddball premise, makes it a satisfying find for those who value the obscure and the delightfully strange in their personal archives.
