Customer Reviews of The Tourist Trap
PRETTY GIRL... You're such a PRIIIITY GUURRRL Yes, I also enjoyed this treat of a movie on cable sometime around 1980 (I was probably 14). My older sister would love to watch this kind of movie with me. We both loved TOURIST TRAP right away! It was what we considered a "camp classic" and a real cozy little horror movie. For us, it would neatly slot in next to other campy movies like, Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark(1973), a TV movie that featured the line: "Sally, Sally, Sally" or EQUINOX(1971)"My cross, MY CRRROSSS!!!" Soon, the rest of the family enjoyed TOURIST TRAP. Once in a while you would hear someone say "MOLLY!!", "PRETTY GIRL!" or "SEE MY FRIEND!" and we'd all laugh. It's particularly disappointing, however, when you see snobishly cold reviews like Leonard Maltin's above. While he sometimes praises small horror films, he will gleefully dump on others, seemingly without understanding the camp value of the film. TOURIST TRAP not only has tons of camp value, but some beautiful cinematography (the 'waterfall' scene with Tanya and the girls skinny-dipping for one) and GENUINE SCARES!(find them for yourself, but for me, there are 3 or 4 that still make my hair stand on end). Yes, TOURIST TRAP has slow parts but the scares and the overall fun of the movie more than compensate for that. I guess it's hard for Leonard Maltin to review this film properly because he DIDN'T see it on cable when he was 13 or 14. He's most likely not much of a 'horror film guy' either. Trust Stephen King's opinion of TOURIST TRAP, a guy who KNOWS a good campy horror flick. King also thinks highly of THE BOOGENS(1981), another frightening little gem. The DVD release of TOURIST TRAP was suprising and leaves me hopeful that other films like the ones mentioned above, will also get the treatment they deserve. I imagine that people who are between the ages of say, 29 and 37, will be more excited than others. But hey, there are alot of people between the ages of 29 and 37! And since we grew up during the GOLDEN AGE of horror films, I think we deserve some respect!..release the damn films already! This DVD of Tourist Trap features a good widescreen transfer(the waterfall scene really comes alive now!), the original trailer and decent menus that feature the great musical score. I do wish there were some promotional materials culled up. Cast interviews would have been great! But again, it's just great to have it released 'widescreen' on DVD. One last and ALL IMPORTANT thing, the forever beautiful TANYA ROBERTS is in Tourist Trap. Here's the bonus!: her outfit throughout the film(that is until they ruin it by killing her) is a tube-top and 'high' cut-off jean shorts. Daisy Duke has got NOTHING on this gorgeous woman! She literally takes Tourist Trap to another level, visually. ( Geeze, I hope my wife doesn't read this review...) Ah, what the hell, I love Tanya Roberts and I love TOURIST TRAP!
A sleeper that has withstood the test of time, fun to watch.
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!
