Summary of Trilogy of TerrorLegendary producer/director Dan Curtis (DARK SHADOWS THE NIGHT STALKER) teams up with writers Richard Matheson (I AM LEGEND THE TWILIGHT ZONE) and William F. Nolan (LOGAN S RUN BURNT OFFERINGS) to present three tales of horrific suspense in this made-for-television anthology that also showcases the tremendous acting talent of Karen Black (FIVE EASY PIECES THE DAY OF THE LOCUST) who plays four distinct roles. In Julie an aggressive college student seduces and ultimately blackmails his seemingly shy English professor. In Millicent and Therese two polar-opposite sisters become increasingly hell-bent on the undoing of one another. And in Amelia a woman falls prey to a murderous Zuni fetish doll.SPECIAL FEATURES:Commentary with Karen Black and writer William F. Nolan Richard Matheson: Terror Scribe Featurette Three Colors Black FeaturetteSystem Requirements:Running Time 72 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR UPC:?030306759395 Manufacturer No:?DVD7593 Dan Curtis, the creator and producer of such out-of-the-ordinary TV classics as the willfully offbeat gothic soap opera Dark Shadows and the proto-X-Files series The Night Stalker, remains best known for the Zuni fetish doll that terrorizes Karen Black in Trilogy of Terror. The wild-eyed doll, with its snapping jaws and screeching yells, borders on camp, yet its relentless attacks and single-minded, homicidal drive make it an absolutely terrifying figure in the climactic chapter of this trilogy of short films based on stories by Richard Matheson. In the first story, "Julie," Karen Black plays a mousy college professor blackmailed by an obsessed student, and in "Millicent and Therese" she plays sisters consumed with an intense hatred of one another that comes to a head when their father dies. Both of these films conclude with Twilight Zone-ish twists and are more clever than gripping, kept alive mostly by Black's gleefully theatrical performances. With "Amelia," however, Black delivers an almost solo show, playing against the famous Zuni fetish doll, a wooden statue that comes to life when the a protective chain slips off the figure and releases the evil spirit. Curtis turns her apartment into a claustrophobic cage trapping the increasingly hysterical woman as the unstoppable figure hacks at her legs with a kitchen knife and chomps down on her arms and neck with the relentless intensity of a bulldog. It's still a classic of small-screen horror. --Sean Axmaker
