Malcolm Danare, born in 1962, brings a distinctive flair to cult cinema with his roles in The Curse (1987) and Popcorn (1991). In The Curse, he delivers a memorable performance that intertwines horror and dark humor, while in Popcorn, he navigates the thrills of a cinematic nightmare, resonating with the film's meta-commentary on the genre. His work embodies the spirit of exploitation and cult films that SassyFlix celebrates, showcasing a career rooted in the eccentricities of 1980s and 90s cinema.
The Curse
Nathan Hayes is a religious man trying to hold onto his farm and keep his family in line. A real estate developer is trying to buy most of the farm property in the area, including Mr. Hayes family farm, in the hope that the Tennesse Valley Authority will choose the town for the site of a new dam and recreational area. The night of a terrible storm, an unidentified, glowing object crashes on the Hayes farm and with it comes a horrible curse for the Hayes family and the members of the community. When a meteorite lands near his family farm during a storm in Tennessee, the son of a struggling farmer believes it's connected to strange plague-like events afflicting the crops, the farm animals and even the family themeselves.
