Curfew is a 1989 American horror film directed by Gary Winick, in his directorial debut, and starring Kyle Richards, Wendell Wellman, John Putch, Christopher Knight, and Frank Miller.

Its plot follows two demented brothers who, after escaping from prison, invade the home of the district attorney who sentenced them to death, terrorizing him, his wife, and their teenage daughter.

Curfew, as well as Winick's second film Out of the Rain (1991), were described by Keith Bailey of Unknown Movies as "little-seen thrillers, the former so violent that it suffered censorship[1] and certification problems" in the United Kingdom.

[3] Teenager Stephanie Davenport spends a night out with her friends and boyfriend, John, while her parents, Walter and Megan, prepare to depart for a weekend vacation from their small California town.

Sam presumes Stephanie to be playing a prank, and releases her to the assumed safety of her home, unaware that both Ray and Bob have been holding her parents hostage inside all evening.

[4] TV Guide gave the movie a tepid review, granting 1 out of 4 stars in its rating and noting that it "has a few interesting ideas that seem to get lost in all of the cheap gore and shock effects.

Among the actors, Wellman is actually pretty good, and Richards has a strong screen presence, but they are stuck in a muddled and cheaply made film, badly directed by Gary Winick...

The players all act at a fever pitch and the generally brutal murder sequences are ham-handedly accompanied by noisy music or sound effects.
