Curtains is a 1983 horror film that revolves around a group of actresses auditioning for a role in a mysterious new production. The movie is directed by Richard Ciupka and features a cast including John Vernon, Samantha Eggar, and Linda Thorson. The film starts with a scene of a young actress screaming inside a mental institution. It is revealed that she was the original choice for the lead role in the upcoming film. However, the director decides to replace her with another actress, Samantha Sherwood (Eggar).

The film then cuts to the present, where we see a group of actresses auditioning for the same role in the movie. The film's producer, Jonathan Stryker (Vernon), invites the actresses to his secluded mansion for a week of training and auditions. The actresses include Brooke Parsons (Thorson), an experienced and determined actress, and several newcomers who are eager to land their big break.

As the training and auditions commence, strange things start to happen. One of the actresses mysteriously disappears, and it becomes apparent that someone is stalking the remaining actresses. The situation becomes increasingly dangerous, and the actresses are left to wonder who they can trust.

The tension and suspense gradually build up throughout the film as the actresses are picked off one by one. The film takes a unique turn as it becomes unclear who the killer really is – is it one of the actresses, the director, or someone else entirely?

Curtains features some iconic horror scenes, including a chase through a snow-covered forest and a memorable scene where a character is stalked by an eerie-looking figure wearing a creepy doll mask. The film also showcases some impressive acting from the cast, particularly Samantha Eggar, who gives a layered performance as the enigmatic Samantha Sherwood.

The film's cinematography is notable as well, particularly in the use of shadows and lighting to create a sense of unease and foreboding. The isolated location of the mansion adds to the film's sense of isolation and danger.

Overall, Curtains is a classic horror film that showcases the best of '80s horror. The film's mix of suspenseful scenes, strong performances, and unique plot twists make it a must-see for fans of the genre.
