Curtains (1983 Film)
''Curtains'' is a 1983 Canadian slasher film directed by Richard Ciupka and Peter R. Simpson, written by Robert Guza Jr., and starring John Vernon, Samantha Eggar, Linda Thorson, and Lynne Griffin. Centered on theater and filmmaking, its plot focuses on a group of actresses auditioning for a role in a movie at a prestigious director's mansion, where they are targeted by a masked killer. Conceived by producer Peter R. Simpson after his box office hit '' Prom Night'' (1980), the film was intended to be an "adult" slasher aimed at older audiences in contrast to the standard genre films of the time, which featured predominately teenaged characters. Shooting began in late 1980 and was the beginning of a troubled production marked by multiple rewrites and reshoots that spanned nearly three years. The film's protracted production ended in Ciupka detaching his name from the project. The film premiered in the United States on March 4, 1983, and was released theatrically in Canada the f ...
