Recently at the thrift store I came across Curfew on DVD. A low budget 'Horror' film from the late 80s with a fairly low score on IMDB and mostly not so positive reviews. But the box' front and the back cover appealed to me and for 2 EUR you can take a chance.
I'll be honest, I enjoyed the movie. Yes, the acting rightly did not receive any Oscars and the film work was not innovative either. But as a viewer you do get a very exciting storyline and no shortage of suspense. The story is never the less nothing original: Two escaped murderers take revenge on the people behind the justice department and brutally slaughter their families. However, the last family fights back.
A film that was supposed to be sold as a slasher, but is actually more of an atypical American home invasion thriller with quite some Eurotrash influences. A minimalist synthesizer tune has in Giallo tradition managed to support the images and suspense.
Actually 7/10 but because I don't agree with the low scores I made it 8/10. For fans of Eurotrash.
