Reel Review Mom

Let me start by saying this: Curdled isn’t just a movie I recently discovered — it’s been one of my favorite films for years, and I still can’t believe how underrated it is. Hardly anyone talks about it, yet it’s one of those rare gems that completely nails the psychological depth of murder, curiosity, and the strange ways people process violence.

What makes Curdled stand out to me is its unusual perspective. Instead of following a detective or a killer, the story focuses on a woman who cleans up crime scenes for a living — and she’s oddly intrigued by her work. That concept alone has always fascinated me. I’ve long been interested in the psychology behind crime scene cleanup — the mix of horror, calm, and curiosity that must come with the job. Honestly, I think there should be way more movies and shows about this line of work.

Curdled dives deep into those darker corners of human behavior with just the right balance of humor and eeriness. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, makes you think, and somehow makes the grotesque feel poetic. It even reminds me of one of my all-time favorite nonfiction shows, “Dr. G: Medical Examiner,” because both explore the aftermath of violence — where science, empathy, and psychology collide.

For me, Curdled isn’t just a hidden gem — it’s a long-time obsession. If you love clever, psychological thrillers that aren’t afraid to get a little weird, this movie is absolutely worth revisiting.
