Featured review
Curfew
Young teenager Stephanie Davenport is expected home by 10pm. This is one Curfew she will want to be late for as a group of psychotic brothers are at her house waiting to attack.
The movie starts with the introduction of two brothers (Ray and Bobby) who are serving a prison sentence for murder. They escape captivity and decide to murder all the people responsible for putting them away. This includes the judge who presided over the case, the psychiatrist who declared them mentally sane, and the District Attorney.
We then meet the DA's very beautiful and young teenager named Stephanie Davenport.The movie makes the point to let us know that her curfew is a strict 10pm, thanks to her overprotective father. She does typical teen things like hang out with her friends, play pranks on the adults in town, and disobeys her parents wishes. After dispatching the judge and psychiatrist, the brothers focus their attention on Stephanie's dad the DA. It'll be up to Stephanie to save her parents from the two psychotic brothers while they spend the night terrorizing her and her parents.
I found Curfew to be a very average late 80's horror thriller overall, but one that had a bit of charm to it. It definitely kept my attention throughout. Curfew is a pretty violent movie, even though most of the murders occur off screen. What makes it violent is the treatment that the brothers (Ray in particular) gives to Stephanie's parents. They slap them around a bit, spray paint the mother, really cruel and humilating things.
There are some downsides to the movie like Stephanie's immature friends who are only there to add to the body count and the silly jocularity that these kinds of movies gives. The acting wasn't amazing, but I thought those involved did a pretty decent job for being in such a low budget film. Wendell Wellman who played Ray was effective as the badder of the two brothers, often times being very violent and verbally abusive. I found the performance of the mother very well done, played by Jean Brooks. That character Megan had to endure it a lot of physical trauma at the hands of Ray and I thought Brooks played it brilliantly. Other than that, we get a very young Kyle Richards who played the little child from Halloween who ended up being babysat by Jamie Lee Curtis. Richards did a fine job in the lead role.
All in all, Curfew isn a very skippable late 80's movie in the horror genre. Almost being next to impossible to find on DVD, you'll likely never come across it. But if you do, give it a viewing for it's gritty and violent home invasion vibes and late 80's cheesiness.
4/10
