Movie Reviews of Tourist Trap
Movie Review: BIZARRE
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of us that grew up on Saturday afternoon horror. I am eternaly thankful for WOR Channel 9 in New York for showing this film back in the early eighties and forever damaging thousands of little wide eyed kids. To watch it now is even better. The strange dummies with the flopping mouths, the grunting, mumbling, terrifying character of "Davey", the plaster face scene...this scares you not because of the violence, but because of the threat of violence. The suspense here is numbing. It is a bit cheesy, acting wise, but I give it five stars as a horror movie. It delivers, absolutely. Like stepping into a nightmare where nothing has to make sense. This in itself is a reason for horror fans to own a DVD player. The picture quality and widescreen are much appreciated , by the way. And make sure to visit the cast and crew menu for an interview with the director.Movie Review: Don't be fooled by PG Rating!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film (director said so himself) was distroyed by its PG-13 rating. The reason for it is...there is no language. The suffucation scene is one of the most gruesume in history! ( By todays standards this film WOULD be rated R, and was when it was released on DVD) Its Quality! Although as the film goes on its more and more apparent this is a blantant Texas Chainsaw rip off (it was even almost shot in texas suprise suprise) It does have it own original qualities. The mystery in the film is somewhat dissapointing but by no means boring! Yes its true the film is not in widescreen( even though it claims to be) and there's no where near 40 trailers (i believe there's 7) But its not low quality nor is it low budget. the effects were done by the same person who did TCM (suprise suprise again) Overall this film is well done and exceptionally scary.Movie Review: Superb little Carrie/Psycho/Texas Chainsaw hybrid...BIZARRE
Summary: 5 Stars
A cheap 80's weird horror film that has a lot going for it. It is full of creepy atmostphere and comes across as a psychotic jumble of some classic modern horror films which it uses as inspiration. Pino Donaggio's brilliant score helps pile on the weirdness. There is a horrendous death by suffocation scene by a Leatherface stuff indeed. oN the whole, despite problems with the plot and a certain uneveness, this is a classic that got away and never found its deserved audiece. it is a flawed classic within 80's horror. Worth it just for the style and the bizarre psycho in the movie.........mad enough to join the ranks of Norman Bates. Also Donaggio's score is another of his many outstanding pieces of work.....Schmoeller, the director uses some of the same soundtrack for his Puppet Master a year or two on.Movie Review: A sleeper that has withstood the test of time, fun to watch.
Summary: 5 Stars
Some films just fade away, but Tourist Trap has withstood the test of time and has justifiably becaome a cult favorite. Though not completely original, it holds its own with a sense of humor, genuine creepy moments, some very unusual mannequins, a brilliant score by Pino Donaggio, and the fun performances by Chuck Connors and the cast. Don't let the PG rating keep you away (though the DVD cover lists an R), this film proves that gratuitous gore and nudity are not needed in every horror film tomake it entertaining. Those elements are usually used to cover the lack of thrills in a film. Here, the scares are merited and effective. Plus, only Chuck Connors could carry a scene in which he has to share soup with a mannequin! A classic scene indeed. This film is a must for fans of '70s horror fare!Movie Review: I Never will Forget It!

When I was a child I saw this movie dozens of times! My older sisters use to watch on the Prism Cable channel. I use to cringe at most of the movie but I would always be peeking through my fingers to see what would happen next! For years I looked for this movie, and no store ever carried it. Thank God for Amazon.com. This past Halloween my fiance and I went to a video store in the mall looking for great horror flicks and he is dying to see what all the fuss is about this movie. I am so glad I will be able to show him a good horror flick now that I found it! Hey Janice,"Molly! " One of the greatest movies of all times. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. If anyone has the VHS version I would gladly like to have a copy and would gladly pay you for it! Please email me.
