“I hate people who preach. Especially in bathrooms.”
A deformed killer is stalking a group of teens at a carnival because they saw him murder a prostitute. Heavens to Murgatroyd! Director Tobe Hooper, responsible for one of the greatest horror movies of all time (TCM) and at least partially responsible for another (Poltergeist), takes a stab (ha!) at the ’80s slasher craze. On the surface it seems like just another “mental defective/weirdo/lunatic” goes on a killing spree movie. Those were hardly rare in the ’80s. But it’s put together well with stylish direction and ample amounts of suspense. The cast is decent with Elizabeth Berridge doing a fine job as the Final Girl. She also has a nice nude scene at the start of the movie, for all the breast enthusiasts out there. The main flaws with the movie are the pacing in the first hour and the overall familiarity of the material. Still, it’s worth a look if you like ’80s horror.
There is no escape from the funhouse…
Amy and her friends are going off to a local carnival with a sleazy reputation. It looks fun on the outside but beneath the cheery atmosphere is a very frightening world and the kids are about to find out what is so scary about the funhouse when they decide to be idiots and spend the night inside, encountering a deformed slasher-killer.This slasher film deserves better reviews, it is one my favorites. Although my all-time favorite movie s the 1981 slasher film My Bloody Valentine, this movie is thrilling, entertaining, funny and creepy all in one. I think my favorite character was the pretty minor magician who scared the pants off an audience when he pulled a prank on them. The acing overall wasn’t that good but the soundtrack was memorable and the movie does manage to remain shocking. It also shows a side-story with Amy’s little brother getting lost at the carnival while sneaking out after dark.
This isn’t a bad movie, it’s worth watching and really fun to see with friends. If the whole point of slashers is to have fun watching them, the Funhouse delivers.
