About Curtain (2011): A Succubus, a Girlfriend, and a Terrible Choice
Dennis Widmyer's *Curtain (2011)* delivers a darkly comedic horror short that pits an aimless layabout against two women—one supernatural, one all too real—in a claustrophobic showdown of survival. Trapped in his own apartment, the protagonist must decide whether to flee a seductive succubus lurking in his bathtub or face the wrath of his volatile girlfriend waiting in the bedroom. With sharp wit and a dash of surreal horror, the film explores themes of bad choices, nightmarish relationships, and the absurdity of modern dating woes. Shot in just 13 minutes, *Curtain* balances tension and humor, creating an atmosphere that's as unsettling as it is darkly funny.
Widmyer crafts a twisted fable about indecision and consequence, where every door (or curtain) hides a new kind of danger. The film's lean runtime heightens the intensity, leaving little room for escape as the protagonist's poor decisions spiral into supernatural chaos. Ideal for fans of micro-budget horror with a comedic edge, *Curtain* is a brief but memorable dive into the absurd horrors of home life.
