Curtains

About This Movie

Curtains is one of those films that you stumble upon and can't quite shake. The atmosphere is thick with dread, thanks to its isolated mansion setting. The pacing is an interesting mix; it lulls you into a false sense of security with some slower moments before ramping up the tension. The masked killer is unnerving, and the practical effects have a raw quality that really stands out. Each actress brings her own flair to the audition process, but as they start to get picked off one by one, the film dives deeper into themes of jealousy and ambition. It’s not just about the scares; there’s something almost unsettling about the cutthroat nature of the pursuit of fame. Overall, it’s a fascinating slice of '80s horror that deserves a second look.
