The Curve Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Dan Rosen
Genres: Thriller
Rating:

Dan_Rosen directed this thriller, filmed in and around Baltimore, based on the college urban legend that you get a cool 4.0 semester grade if your roommate commits suicide. Roommates Rand (Randall_Batinkoff), manipulative Tim (Matthew_Lillard), and good-guy Chris (Michael_Vartan) are seniors at a university where this legend is legit. Since Rand mistreats his pregnant girlfriend Natalie (Tamara_Craig_Thomas), he's the obvious choice. Tim gets Cliff to assist in Rand's "suicidal" leap from a cliff -- but with that foul deed done, Tim points the police in Chris's direction and then seduces Chris' girlfriend Emma (Keri_Russell). After Natalie really does commit suicide, students, cops, and the campus psychiatrist (Dana_Delaney) begin to ask probing questions. Track tunes include The_Cure, Suzanne_Vega, Joy_Division, and The_Smiths. Shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. Bhob Stewart, Rovi
