After years of waiting I watched Curtains tonight

Glad you liked it. I think you're going to be somewhat disappointed in most slashers if you're holding them up to Black Christmas though, which his head and shoulders above most.

I went to a midnight screening of "Prom Night" (1980) (Not the crappy remake!) on 04/16/20010, & as a "Mystery" double-feature,the movie theater showed this rare horror film called: Curtains (1983)!

Very strange film! Didn't make alot of sense! Convoluted!

The plot:


Samantha Sherwood has worked with the well-known director Jonathan Stryker on all his major films. She naturally assumes she has been given the title role in his latest venture, "Audra". He tells her that she nn needs to do some background research on the part, so arranges to have her committed to an asylum (as Audra is a former psychiatric patient). She goes along with this, not realising that he intends to leave her there indefinitely and audition six young women of various professions for the part instead.



Curtains (1983) Canadian horror film.

Though a fairly obscure film, Curtains has gained some underground cult status among fans of the slasher film genre, many of whom cite the 'ice skating' murder scene as the film's memorable highlight.

The film was relatively obscure until word of mouth among horror fans developed interest in the film again.

I just picked this up on R1 DVD in a 4 pack of movies and I have to say it is a great slasher film from the 80's that still holds up today. And yes the skating scene was the best part.

Insert favorite movie dialogue line here.

I had also waited a long time to see this movie and was very dissapointed by it,mainly I disliked all the charecters. After about 45 mins in I was becomeing frustrated with mainly the director but also all the other charecters were just clunky. I also managed to work out who the killer was from very early on which is never a good sign.

I watch a hell of alot of slashers and this just didnt cut it for me, i wouldnt even say that my standards are that high(how high can they be when your a slasher fan) but this was just frustrating to watch maybe again it was because i got my hopes up to high also I watched another slasher the same day that i had never seen as a double bill Alice Sweet Alice which was superb so after watching that the bar was maybe set to a level that couldnt be contended with.
