Curtains

In Curtains, John Vernon plays a (what's a kind word for abusive?) difficult director in search of an actress for an upcoming film. After stranding his first choice in an insane asylum, he invites several potential candidates to his secluded mansion. Surely nothing could go wrong under those circumstances. It took almost three years to complete Curtains, following several rounds of rewrites and reshoots. The final product is a little disjointed. There are, however, a couple of decent kills in the film, most notably in the ice skating sequence.

Rating: 59%

Always glad to team up again for Halloween! I've got the Child's Play series this year, which is surprisingly strong the whole way through.

I'll be following along with the Child's Play series. I've been meaning to rewatch those. The first four anyway...
