Curdled (1996)

A seductive serial killer (William Baldwin), who preys on wealthy women, meets his match when he comes across an addled simple minded  woman (Angela Jones) whose job is to clean crime scenes including those of the serial killer. Directed by Reb Braddock in his only feature film. This mix of black comedy and slasher crime movie (Quentin Tarantino was an executive producer) didn't work for me. Although Baldwin is top billed, the real star of the movie is Angela Jones. But the film is muddled and both the characters are a turn off which leaves us as observers rather than fully invested in the characters. Baldwin is so strange and creepy that he may as well have "I am a serial killer" tattooed on his forehead and it's near impossible to imagine wealthy women finding him attractive. As for Angela Jones, she's every bit as creepy. She's fascinated by the murders and wants every gory detail of the killings. She's so whacko that you eventually give up on her and her fate starts to become of no interest to the viewer. With Lois Chiles, Kelly Preston, Barry Corbin, Daisy Fuentes and Bruce Ramsay.
