This movie was his directorial debut feature, about two brothers seeking revenge against the members of the legal system who sentenced them to Death Row. Curfew, like Out of the Rain (1991), his second film, were "little-seen thrillers, the former so violent that it suffered censorship and certification problems" in the United Kingdom.
In fact, the film was rejected for video by the British Board of Film Classification in 1988 and was finally released fully uncut in 2002.

"...back in 1988, the British Board of Film Classification banned the movie from getting released on video in England. True, the BBFC has often proven to have grossly overreacted to content in movies (and they did allow the movie to be released on DVD fourteen years later) but news of this lengthy ban did give the movie a glimmer of promise. I am sure that this news of the ban is the aspect of the movie you are most curious about, so I will first answer the question as to if the movie's ban had any justification. Well, for the most part, the answer is no."
