Rating: - Funhouse-Good Times version
This review is for Funhouse on Good Time's dvd and not by what appears to be a studio version of the film. Good Times is a company that releases cheap dvds and sometimes the picture is not always the best. Halloween 2 for example on Good Times dvd was bad. This is why I want to make sure people know the difference. I bought the studio version and the seller sent me the good time version and I said "Oh crap", yet the film is fine and the picture is good.
The Funhouse has an excellent atmosphere. The opening credits are creepy and im not even afraid of carnivals. The film follows a ... Read More
Rating: - Another 80's Classic!!!
The Funhouse is a really good 80's slasher. Four teens decide to spend the night in the funhouse, then something bad happens, they try to leave, but they are locked in with a deformed man in a Frankenstein mask. Will they survive? I just love how the movie looks with spooky clowns and carnival gags. If you love horror, slashers, and monsters, you'll love THE FUNHOUSE!!!
Rating: - Pretty decent
The funhouse is a fairly decent 80's horror movie. It's very different, because it's not a typical slasher flick. It's about a group of kids who go to a local carnival, filled with weird carnies. The boss of the carnival has a strange secret that has to do with his "Son". When the group decides that they want to sleep in the fun house, the secrets are revealed. The kids are doomed, within the fun house, as there are traps around every corner...
Rating: - Tobe Hooper Takes the Fun Out of Funhouse
"Funhouse" does to carnivals what "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" did to slaughterhouses. Both movies were directed by Tobe Hooper. The latter movie is a classic. When "Funhouse" was first released, I was under eighteen and not allowed to go to R-rated movies. However, I read the Jove novel based on the screenplay; it was written by Owen West, which is a pseudonym for best-selling author Dean Koontz. The novel was much better than the movie; it explains the relationship between the heroine and the monster. For years, the carnival barker has been searching for the offspring of his beautiful ex-wife ... Read More
Rating: - No one escapes the Funhouse!
This movie is awesome. This movie defines exactly what horror was during the late 70's and early 80's. Tobe Hooper directed an instant classic with this one. The movie follows a small group of teens who decide to camp out one night inside the local carnival's funhouse ride. Once inside the ride they realize that the ride's operators are less than desirable. Now that they have become trapped inside the attraction, they must formulate a plan to stay alive and hopefully get out. Every single time I hear about or see a carnival I think of this movie. Remember what "Jaws" did for ocean goers? Funhouse ... Read More
