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. She finally manages to escape, and returns to the spooky old mansion where the auditions are taking place. But who is causing the disappearances of the young hopefuls?? Is it Samantha? Stryker? Or is one of the actresses willing to kill for the coveted part?? Just who is the killer behind the old-hag mask???

| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanThe closer one peers into the weird and macabre pleasures of "Curtains," the more its technical mastery and subtextual implications reveal themselves. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a mess, but an entertaining one thanks to Ciupka's visual ambition and ensemble work from the oddball cast, who deliver the proper level of hysteria to assist what little suspense remains. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersOn the positive side, there's Vernon and Eggar even being in the film. I enjoy these veteran actors and wish they had more to do. You can also argue the killer's mask is pretty scary. And, at least, the ice skating murder is original. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonOne of the tiny handful of genuinely unique one-offs in the slasher genre's history. |
| User ReviewKwamë Bi love this and it is one of my favorites. the ice skating scene was very scary and the whole movie is cool. more people should see this. |
| User Reviewcody nSomeone needs to put this out on DVD. NOW! |
| User ReviewTans DMy favorite slasher. Don´t know about any DVD release yet but i sure hope for one soon. |
| User ReviewNicole MGreat horror slasher! I love it! The part when the killer ice skates is terrifying! |
| User ReviewJeffrey MA very cool horror film from 1983, a very cool and bloody plot about a person trying to get a part in a movie and murder goes on and people are getting killed off one by one. I loved this film when I first saw it on HBO back in 1983 and still love it. |
| User ReviewJackson SDamn. A fantastic movie with a solid cast. How terrifying is the hag mask killer? |
