 Rated 4 out of 5
great old horror flick....
This movie is just as scary today as it was the first time I seen it about 20 years ago....not your typical slasher flick....filled with all sorts of twisted stuff from start to finish... Rated 5 out of 5!
Get Caught in the TRAP!
THE TOURIST TRAP was mentioned by STEPHEN KING as one of his favorite movies. It was supposed to reinvent Chuck Connors as a Lon Chaney for the 1980s. It didn’’t do great at the box office, because ... well it was surrounded by other slasher flicks that were R-rated, and despite what it says on the box this only earned a PG. But it has endured to become a cult classic, largely due to the fact it was easily shown on television (don’’t have to cut much out!). It’’s a creepy little story about a group of teens who get stranded on a lonely highway, and taken to a curious wax museum where they are picked off one by one in order of their sexual promiscuity. Sounds pretty typical for 80s horror, but this one has the killer having telekinetic powers so that objects fly, manequins scream, and mayhem breaks out. The climax is very different from its peer group! The last shot of the movie burns into your mind, and suddenly you realize ... TOURIST TRAP ain’’t a bad place to find some shivers! Kinda like CARRIE crossed with HALLOWEEN! Odd note is that Dino Pinaggio who scored CARRIE also worked on the music for this one. This DVD version features a wide-screen transfer, and commentary by the director. And it’’s cheap! You get a lot of bang for the buck here. If you’’re a horror fan this is a must. If you don’’t like the gore in most horror movies this is a must! It’’s a creepy classic that should have everybody caught in its spell. - Rated 4 out of 5
CREEPY
This 1979 slasher flick is not only one of the scariest movies of our time, but it’’s entertaining and thrilling and electrifying with complete terror. This movie is very scary and is about this weird old guy who dresses up like a doll and has living mannequins including his deceased wife, in which was killed because she was having an affair with his brother...tear...this movie is seriously crazy and freaky and is one of the top 20 most outstanding, horrifying films of our time.
