	Curdled (1996)- Moria The Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Review
		Indeed it seems a major miracle that a film about a forensic cleanup crew and a serial killer, which also happens to be an offbeat comedy rather than a thriller, managed to get made at all.
		The film eventually arrives at a positively hysterical scene where she asks him if the severed heads of his victims still talk after they have been removed – which is set-up for an hilarious final scene.
		The film appears to be written with an insider’s knowledge of the forensic cleanup profession – you are certain that one or other of the scriptwriters must have worked there at some point.

	Axe Horror Reviews -- Gore-Tastic Reviews
		One thing I loved about Curdled was the original plot, I don't think I've seen a film like this at any point in my life.
		Curdled is a very unique film that doesn't receive the kind of attention it deserves.
		The most imaginative aspect of the film is it's plot and that alone is reason enough to see it.

		The film opens with a shot of Corky, a female thief recently paroled after serving five years for "redistribution of wealth," lying bound and gagged in a closet.
		You find out who the killer is within the film's first five minutes; the only questions, once you get to know Gabriela and her morbid fascination with murder, are when the serial slayer and his wide-eyed fan will meet and what will happen when they do.
		(The film's acting covers a lot of peaks and valleys; one constant high point is the nuanced work of supporting actor Bruce Ramsay whose character discovers Gaby's secret and courts her with a mixture of titillation and revulsion.) But the film, which grew out of a 30-minute film school project, suffers from too much padding.

	Boxoffice Magazine [CURDLED Film Review] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		"Curdled" is based on a short film that Tarantino viewed at a mystery/suspense film fest.
		In "Curdled," Gabriella returns to her lifelong fascination with murders, which is so deep that potential suitors know to bring her newspaper clippings of recent killings instead of flowers.
		The film's coagulated humor, mixed with its dark theme, will please anyone with a morbid nerve in his body and leave him wanting a sequel; at the same time, those not so constituted are likely to find "Curdled" curdling indeed.

	'Curdled' a change of pace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Simply put, the film is a chilling and sick fl comedy, set in the Latin backdrop of Miami, about a young woman (Angela Jones) and her obsession with murder.
		Produced by Quentin Tarantino, "Curdled" was originally a short student film produced at the University of Miami.
		The film's initial premise of blood and gore is quite unsettling.

		Curdled has a strange mix of murder and dark humor and if that somehow reminds you of Pulp Fiction, it’s probably because Quentin Tarrantino borrowed the concept of Harvey Keitel’s character in Pulp Fiction from Curdled when it was shown as a short at a film noir festival in Italy where he showed Reservoir Dogs.
		However, Curdled doesn’t have the action factor of Pulp Fiction and I’d personally compare it more to Eating Raoul in its portrayal of characters dealing with death in a matter-of-fact to aloof manner; Curdled takes it up a notch in that Gabriela is simply fascinated by the subject.
		The film truly is being carried by Angela Jones and even some of the smaller parts like her co-workers have more spark to their performance than Baldwin but, as said - we don't expect much more from a Baldwin.

		Originally a short film written and directed by Reb Braddock, (‘cause you all know who he is) Curdled struck Tarentino like lightning and he promptly urged (forced) Braddock to make it into a feature length movie.
		I would not ordinarily apply such a cliché phrase as “wickedly funny” to anything, but that is exactly what this film noir is. Gabrielle (magnificently performed by Angela Jones -‘cause you know who she is, too) is teetering on the brink of an obsession with serial killers.
		I am telling you, this film is out of this world, if you don’t mind the sight of blood and laughing at crazy people, that is. I giggle sadistically to myself even now at the thought of it.

	Film review: `Curdled': When should we laugh at it? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		C URDLED began life as a short film of 30 minutes by John Maass and Reb Braddock, Florida State University film students.
		The result is an 89-minute film that, with the redundancy cut out of it, could be very amusing at, say, 30 minutes.
		The film won't work unless we're entirely convinced that Gabriela, who looks as innocent as can be, is not interested in killing anybody herself.

		It's this part of the film that allows the filmmakers to not become setbound and open up the action a bit as Secondo feverishly runs his errands.
		Her part is small in the film, but Moore does portray, well, the tortured existence she lived following the end of her romance with Picasso.
		Regarding the film's art direction: Merchant/Ivory were not allowed to use any of Picasso's original work for the film, necessitating the creation of faux-Picasso's.

	Curdled Movie Review
		CURDLED is a deliciously dark and witty fl comedy, but its humour won't appeal to everyone.
		Our film's heroine, Gabriela, played by Angela Jones, is a woman obssessively curious about murder and serial killers; she even keeps a scrapbook of news articles.
		The one drawback of CURDLED is that it was based on a short film, and it feels like it; the material is just stretched too thin in order to fulfill a feature length running time, and some parts just seem to drag.

	Curdled Movie Review
		Accompanying the press materials for CURDLED were a few newspaper and magazine articles about actual services which clean up violent crime scenes, services like the one which is a key part of the film's premise.
		CURDLED is the story of Gabriela (Angela Jones), a Colombian immigrant living in Miami who is singularly fascinated by violent crimes.
		CURDLED sports a few neat stylistic flourishes, including an eye-catching opening title sequence and a great scene where Gabriela does a sensuous dance around a murder scene, but for the most part it is just one big, long, sick joke with a punch line that is not particularly worth the effort.

		Geronnenes Blut verspricht der Titel ("to curdle" heißt gerinnen) - und tatsächlich kann man sich gleich zu Beginn allerlei unappettitliche Bilder anschauen, auf denen ein Serienkiller bei der Arbeit zu sehen ist, der sich auf reiche Damen spezialisiert hat.
		Nachdem der Zuschauer eine Stunde lang gelitten hat, gibt es dann doch noch zumindest eine Sequenz, die erahnen läßt, was das vielleicht doch für ein (kurzer) Film hätte werden können: Da tanzt die Hauptdarstellerin Angela Jones mit einem riesengroßen Küchenmesser.
		Spannender als das Ergebnis ist deshalb die Entsehungsgechichte dieses faden Lichtspiels: Quentin Tarantinos längst zum Kultfilm gereiftes Meisterwerk "Pulp Fiction" enthält eine kurze Passage, in der Harvey Keitel einen "Mr.

		The transition to feature was made possible by a chance encounter with filmmaker Quentin Tarantino who executive produced the film.

		I mean, aside from the immediate knee-jerk reaction of personally witnessing a decapitation or some other horrific method of dispatch, it’s a pretty fair bet that culturally we can find individual X’s demise a funny thing.
		Instead of being cool and quietly ironic, Curdled is the attention whore of dark comedies, begging for loving by acting out in dumb ways and being blatantly over the top.
		Curdled has roughly the momentum of a snail on speed.

		In die film van twintig minuten werkt een aantrekkelijke, door moordgruwelen geobsedeerde jonge vrouw (Angela Jones) voor een schoonmaakbedrijf in Miami, Post-Forensic Cleaning Service, dat zich specialiseert in het opruimen van met geronnen bloed besmeurde misdaadlocaties.
		Aan het hier en daar kunstmatig opgerekte scenario valt de ontstaansgeschiedenis van Braddocks eerste lange film af te lezen, maar het is een alleraardigst debuut, met meer tarantineske trekjes.
		Curdled bevat talloze originele beeldcomposities, absurde invallen en een door Joseph Julián González gecomponeerde, opvallende soundtrack van opgewekte mambo's en andere Cubaanse muziek, ter begeleiding van de niet kinderachtig gefilmde slachtpartijen.

	Curdled Film Review - Time Out Film
		Fantasy and reality finally merge when she comes face to face with the Blue Blood Killer, a smooth sociopath (played with icy charm by Baldwin) who preys on wealthy women.
		In a confrontation filmed as a single four-and-a-half-minute shot, the killer forces her to re-enact the dance of death implied by the murder scene, from both the victim's and the assailant's point of view.
		This bravura sequence virtually justifies the price of admission, but elsewhere the congealed blood is spread a little too thinly, a deficiency only partly made up for by a catchy, Spanish-influenced soundtrack.
