Customer Reviews of The Funhouse
Great Movie For A Rainy Night! First off, don't think I didn't like this movie from my 3 star rating. I did enjoy it.Now, with that out of the bag, The Funhouse is a great B-movie horror flick by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre). It's somewhat dark tone of the circus world is without a doubt creepy at best. (This is coming from someone who hates clowns and the circus!) The lighting and angles realy make the film work.It's pretty much the same premise as the good 'ol 80's horror movie. 2 boys and 2 girls want to have fun, so they decide to sneak inside a funhouse to spend the night. One by one, they get axed. And dare I say the ol' cliche'd "view through the mask" scene was quite familier..(uh...Halloween? ).All in all, it's a fun movie to snuggle up and turn the lights down on a rainy night. The only problem was the disk itself. NO EXTRA'S! Not even a trailor! Why? The one good thing is, we see it in the beauty of the 2.35:1 widescreen, which looks great. Soundwise, it's decent. For true horror fans, pick up a copy.
An strong stylish horror thriller.
When a group of teens (Elizabeth Berridge, Cooper Huckabee, Largo Woodruff & Miles Chaplin) decide to stay the night at a sleazy carnival. When they witness a murder of a Gyspy (Sylvia Miles), they are trapped inside a ride called The Funhouse. While two Carnivals workers (Kevin Conway & Wayne Doba) are stalking the teens and trying to kill them, one by one. While the teens are trying to live and fight to survival.
Directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacer, Eaten Alive, Salem`s Lot) brings a visual style to this modern horror thriller with great make-up effects by Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London). This film has a good lead performance by Elizabeth Berridge (Amadeus) and a terrific one by Kevin Conway (Gettysburg) in three roles! DVD`s has an fine non-anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong Dolby Stereo 2.0 Surround Sound. One of Tobe Hooper Best Films. This film does a funny tribute to Halloween to Psycho in the Opening Scene. This is actually, Based on a Novel by Dean R. Koontz under the Pseudonum-Owen West at that time. (Koontz actually disowned the film before the film`s release, because of Hooper and Screenwriter Lawrence Block wanted to make many changes from his Screenplay). Panavision. Grade:A-.
Rather disappointing
My best friend and I first discovered the book when going through some old stuff left behind by her sisters when they moved out. We both really loved the book. Then one day we discovered the movie at a rental store, we were really excited when we realized it was based on the book. I can't tell you how disappointed we were. We didn't even finish watching it. If I hadn't previously read the book I don't think I would have known what was going on. I gave it two stars because maybe my expectations were too high after reading the book.
