Movie Reviews of Trilogy of Terror (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Still entertaining and scary after 30+ years
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fine trilogy of short films based on short stories, featuring the marvelous Karen Black in several challenging roles. The first story throws you for a loop when you discover what's really behind the frumpy clothing and mousy demeanor of a college lit. teacher dealing with a creepy student. The second story contains a surprise as well, and even though it's something you might see coming, it's still a treat to watch Black sink her teeth into the performance. And the third and probably most notorious story involves a lonely woman who makes the mistake of purchasing a Zuni hunting fetish doll which later comes to life and goes on the rampage in her apartment. I won't spoil the ending for you, but the image will remain in your memory for years.
Movie Review: Trilogy of Terror and Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching this movie on TV when I was very young and absolutely loved it but it was never shown again. I tried tracking down the video here in Australia but with no success. Finally I saw it available on Amazon and had to buy it straight away. Watching it again after nearly 30 years was as good as I remembered it. I must admit the first two stories aren't exactly scary or even particlularly original but Karen Black is great and so they are worth watching just for her. Of course the best is the third story with the doll that comes to life. I think I've watched just about every horror movie ever made but this one is great if you love a laugh while screaming at the same time! You will have your feet curled up under you while you watch it!Movie Review: Evil Doll Cracks Me Up
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first installment of Trilogy of Terror and the original. There is a second T of T that came out much later (over a decade) that continues the saga of the evil fetish doll and is a bit more convincing than the first and it is rare and hard to find. But the first one is a classic with the best known story of the trilogy being the one with the fetish doll. It's over-acted at times but it really does work and has a Twilight Zone Tales From the Darkside kind of feel. Karen Black is the focus of the doll's violence and I had to laugh at how many times she fell un-necessarily. I actually started counting after the first few times! Boy, did she suffer from rugburn after filming this! ha ha :-)Movie Review: Great classic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was great when I saw it decades ago and it's still great. There's now a sequel but I don't think that one's on DVD yet. It's a horror trilogy using the same actress in each but playing a different character in different stories in each so don't expect a connection between any of them, there isn't supposed to be one, just three horror stories. The remake is similar but I don't recall if all 3 stories are the sequels to the ones on the original DVD (since I only cared about my favorite movie, which happens to be depicted on the cover). That particular story is about a voodoo type doll that comes to life if it's chain/belt falls off. The sequel DOES continue THAT story line.Movie Review: A Childhood Nightnare Returns
Summary: 5 Stars
Just the mention of this movie brings a shiver down the spine of everyone who remembers seeing its original release, even after all these years. It is hard to believe a TV movie could have this kind of impact, yet three masters of the macabre were involved in its conception: Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker), Richard Matheson (I Am Legend, Hell House), and William F. Nolan (Logan's Run). The Zuni fetish doll no doubt caused more nightmares for children and adults than any other horror icon of the seventies. If you haven't seen this movie, buy it now. You have nothing to lose but perhaps a little sleep.
