Curfew
Two brothers whose grisly killing spree has landed them on death row plot a daring escape, breaking free from prison with vengeance in mind, and setting targets in the form of the key witnesses against them.
Why it matters
A gritty, grimy slice of late-80s prison slasher that turns the escape thriller into a blood-soaked vendetta fueled by sibling rage and cold-blooded calculation.
- Delivers raw, unpolished violence that captures the era’s appetite for visceral, no-frills horror.
- Practical gore effects that lean into grime and grit rather than glam, recalling the best of direct-to-video exploitation.
- For fans of revenge-driven slashers who appreciate a claustrophobic prison setting over supernatural distractions.
- Not a polished studio thriller, but a cult-leaning grindhouse gem that reflects the era’s darker anxieties about justice and retribution.
