Curdled: Review

CURDLED
starstarstarstar
An absolutely terrific short film stretched out to feature length, this grim shaggy-dog story wears out its welcome before it gets to its macabre punch line. Pretty Gabriela (Angela Jones), a vivacious Latina living in Miami, is obsessed with serial murderers, especially the "Blue Blood Killer" (William Baldwin), who's cutting a bloody swath through local society matrons. She signs up to work for a cleaning service that specializes in mopping up crime scenes, and next thing she knows, she's wiping up after her idol. First-time feature director Reb Braddock's film is firmly enmeshed in Tarantino-World: The Great Quentin based PULP FICTION's morbid taxi driver, Esmerelda Villalobos, on Gabriela (he saw the original, short version of Curdled in a film festival) and executive-produced this feature version; Tarantino makes an appearance (once removed) as his FROM DUSK TILL DAWN character in a mug shot embedded in a parody of slobbering true-crime TV shows. It's all too intertextual for words. But Braddock isn't experienced enough to pull the whole thing off, and the film slips (perhaps on all that sticky red stuff) back and forth between black comedy and truly distasteful nastiness. leave a comment
